The Next Page

Hello Friends, it is great to be back after a long interval. Special thanks to some of my dear friends who reminded me of this in their casual question “What’s your next blog gonna be on?”.

I first want to share a fine thought I read sometime back.

“Life is a book. To turn the next page or to put it down, the choice is yours.”

I might not be the best person to comment on this, but am still trying to share my thoughts on this quote. A lot of times we are puzzled, enthralled while reading our future forecast and start anticipating what’s going to happen next. Sometimes nothing seems to be going our way and seems to be the end of the world. We loose our confidence and self esteem. I feel we should live each day at a time and not worry too much on what is happening at the moment too much. There are two reasons behind it. The first, nothing would change for better if you worry too much. The second, after the major event (how we think it is at that time) is history, we look back only to realize that it wasn’t that great or important. My thought is that we need to understand that in what ever situation we are in, we should not give up hope.

I was chatting up with a colleague regarding the same subject and he asked till how long one can try to be positive if everything around him remains negative. My answer was infinity. I know it is easier said than done, but believe you me it works. Sometimes, all it takes to overcome failure is that last try which we thought would be useless. I am firm believer that if we don’t stop believing in our own abilities and are ready to put our 100% efforts in whatever we do, we would find success sooner or later. The important thing is to hold on to your nerves in those questioning moments of life. Tell yourself that you would not allow anyone to tell you how you think about yourself, and that in spite of all odds you will take control of your life and move ahead.

We would have our UP’s & Down’s in life. The best time for making a plan is when you think you don’t need a plan. Also, it is very important that don’t hold fate / destiny responsible for whatever situation we are in. We have been the decision maker and which is why you are where you are today. The flip side to this theory is that leaving everything on fate would make matters worse most of the times.

I know a lot of friends who have undergone a very tough time and my sincere message to all is that it is just a passing phase. Keep your head high, pull your thoughts together and get ready to turn the next page of your wonderful life.

As I said earlier, the decision is……….YOURS!

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

P.S – Do share it anyone whom you think might require this magical dust of hope!
