A Few Words to My Younger Self

What was the first thing you learnt before walking? Simply walking. No right? First, you learnt how to get up, stand steadily, then tried to take the ‘first step’. You tried but your baby legs made you fall. What did you do then?

You laughed aloud, you clapped. Isn’t? Again you took another step, this time you steadied yourself a few more seconds. This process went on everytime you made an effort, till when you fully learnt walking.

We all know this. But tend to forget that this is applicable to all new things we come across in life.

Mistakes happen. Its natural. It’s a proof that you have given your effort. This should not make you feel guilty, cause self-pity or refrain from trying a second time.

Rather we should analyze how better could we have performed that thing, then just remember the solution and move on to start all over again. If the second time too, you made a mistake, observe that it will be less in intensity than the first one. By doing a thing repeatedly, we learn ‘perfection’.

Your thinking and working should be proportional to each other. When you go on thinking too much, say to yourself to “Stop thinking, and start working”.

And you need not work hard, just work sincerely. When you start doing, everything will start falling in place without you having any time to complain. You would not even realize for you will look at it as a miracle.

When you think if your circumstances will ever change, ‘persevere’.

Because-

“Nothing is consistent. Bad times change for better, just like the change of seasons.”

Babyy you are strong, born to FLY. Never think you are nothing. Nor think you are everything. You are ‘something’ and can do something.

Don’t hurt yourself. Don’t get attached to people or circumstances. The things that are yours, you need not  force it to stay with you, possessiveness is not required. Give people space, time. If they are yours, they will remain with you.

Stop judging people through your assumed glances. Sometimes, people give ‘surprises’. And when people don’t , then ‘life certainly does’. Miracles do happen, that only thing is you got to believe in it. (by  Winsome Perceptions)

Go on searching for happiness and loveliness in every little thing you encounter. Smile is contagious, so is laughter. Share it, spread it. It will only come back to you at double the amount you gave.

When you realize that something is not growing you, abandon it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a person or a thing. You should be more important to yourself than any other thing.

People are not really what they seem to be. So, its better to ignore and turn a blind eye to their activities that goes against our expectations.

Someone had told, learn to expect, not to doubt. But you know, expectations itself bring doubts. Rather try ‘hoping’. You’ll start seeing possibilities. It need not happen. But if it comes true, you’ll be overwhelmed with happiness.

Remember, FLY. (First Love Yourself)
