LIFE as we all have been gifted by the almighty to be able to go through this cycle and journey as a part of the universe, needs to be handled with care. We face and come across a lot of experiences in life from childhood and as we grow up some of them have a very fierce effect on us, our dealing with people, our performance levels & even in our day-to-day life at work etc.
L- Live
I – Interestingly
F- Face
E- Experiences
By expressing my thoughts on life in the above 4 words there is a lot more to life and its phases and cycles through which we grow over the years! The life we have today and the one we had in our last birth was much different in many ways, we don’t remember and neither should we go back into it. The lord and its devotees always believe that its you today and in this life is what should matter and what should be looked at to add value to this cycle of birth so that the next one can also be pretty exciting & experiential and better than this one.
Life teaches us a lot in many ways and in many genres as well all through our growth stage and beyond. Some of us are very smart and intelligent since childhood while some are average and some do not wish to pursue higher studies as well. Doesn’t matter but life itself teaches us many things which at times the books at the highest levels do not cover in the syllabus and academia.
To look at LIFE with various perspectives here is my version of it in a nutshell with varietals and derivatives to pick on:
Life is not a theory of formulae & notions: some people take life as per definitions related to various theories which we have studied over the years where something added to something, multiplied and subtracted from few elements leads to something interesting and new. This doesn’t work in day-to-day real life for all of us and therefore we need to little realistic as well and write our own statistics.
Life is not living on other people’s terms: at times some people whom we come across in life are dominating & also my ship my order types! In today’s modern world it is not going to work, it has to be self-driven and well planned in order to be able to make things work for yourself and your family etc. it is not always living life from their perspectives but also being persistent living it on your own terms as well.
Life does not always give you a second chance: Let us change the way we look at life and the world on a broader note. It says that watching your steps and decisions taken can have reactions and responses from the other side which may not always be condusive and acceptable by us. At times there are actions we take which have equal opposite reactions as well which can disappoint us and make us feel low and dejected. We need to change our perception.
Life is a bouquet of colourful flowers, pick the right one: The influence of colors in our life have had a very strong significance over the years. One side we look at self-choices and self-thoughts and self-satisfying elements. We should be open to experimenting and trying out worthy tasks and risks in life which can bring a lot of praise & welcoming gestures being well exchanged among and within us to create that harmony & connect.
The colour elements can also be enhanced here by food and nourishment of the body – mind & soul by eating right, choosing the right ingredients for our cooking and also getting the perfect balance of colour- flavour & taste impress us on every plate we binge into.
Life is a melange of Likes- Dis-likes & So- So Quotients.
In this journey called Life we come across people whom we get along with very well, seems like a bonding of years and decades in the very first meet at times, while with some it’s a hi- hello factor of minutes and we feel that’s enough & done! And if we look at extremes then there is a Not at all factor which comes by in our mind and thoughts which doesn’t let the dots join at all and it’s a not easy to gel along and get along at all as well.
Life is full of Drama- Deals & Divinity!
While most of us in life are running behind materialistic acquiring techniques, some of us have long lists of things to do as we grow by the decades into physical maturity, few of us have a lot to do with finding the right balance between all the above ensuring the perfect balance helps to keep life at pace and gets us all we need with the push of a button. Be it land, property, money, wealth and valuables, luxury and brands its all somewhere a pleasing factor for us in life and we seem to be finding happiness around all of It which may not be always true. Life is also a journey to reach the higher level going within and inside instead of just outside and external, do remove some me time & mediate time!
Life needs to be lived beyond the clock & its timings:
While time management for some people is a big challenge, from reporting to work on time, to being able to meet people on time, to finishing tasks on time, to be able to find the work- life balance time-table too at times makes things worse for some people. Its all about placing the tasks in life in the order of their importance levels and then play the cards one by one – side by side- and if I may say multi- tasking which is a big challenge for many people be it in personal life or professional life. At times we are good at giving Gyan & Pravachan to people around us but when it comes to us and ourselves, we are always struggling!
Life is lead by example & ease out on expectations:
It is always good to listen to motivational talks and reading inspiring quotes to pep up our mood and mind. What actually matters is how we implement them in our life in order to fix things as they come by and be able to work on problems with a proactive approach and in a very positive way so much so that it doesn’t affect us and our surroundings as well. Today’s generation tells us do not tell us stories of your times- old school of thought! Instead tell us how we can achieve things faster in life, what are the key secrets to being successful in days to come and not years to go by. Therefore, it is imperative to ease out on our expectations from anyone around since it can lead to disappointments and leading by example in such a way that it impacts people around us in a very acceptable manner.
Emotions- Expressions & Enthusiasm formulate life:
At times life throws across a number of Frisbees and Freebees which are just not meant for us and we should accept them with an open heart as they could be a saviour for us or a blessing from angels trying to help us from something unpleasant. We should work on getting emotionally stable and strong as not everyone wants to value them based on their perceptions, not everyone will allow us to be as expressive as we wish to, hence look at working on the same on a positive note and finally life needs to be lived with a lot of enthusiasm and not complaining and on a low note. We need to take every day as it comes by and ensure that life is being looked at on a positive note and write our own formulae of life in such a way that we can not only make the most of this journey and also have memories and sweet memories all along and not keep any space for negativity and unwanted trash.
Life needs Stability- Sustainability & Serenity: as mentioned earlier the journey we are a part of can come to an end any second, any minute, any hour or any day which we are not aware of. We need to take every day as a stepping stone to our self-development & self-improvement which can help in order to sustain ourselves in a stable way for as long as we are present on this track of life and along the path of taking things in the best way for enhancing our life with colors in various forms and formats from the colour wheel of life making it all the more pleasing & enjoyable!
On a concluding note: Life is a palate of colors, a mix of flavours- spices & sweetness. It is important to make our recipe in such a way that the ingredients, their quantities, the step-by-step method, the cooking style and time to be applied is just close to perfection and not to forget the garnish element of life which is the Smile factor which we must maintain and keep at all times!
