Valuing the “PRESENT”

Imagine a life where we get a chance to live our entire existence in one single moment, imagine a moment of eternity to live, express, laugh, cry, shout, scream or do anything that will make our senses come completely alive?  Tough to imagine far tougher to believe, but trust me it can happen, because our being makes such unimaginable things a reality.  Sometimes the problem lies within us, after facing adverse situations we stop believing, stop hoping, faith is like a forgotten story and we succumb to misery, and in the long run it becomes our best companion, not because we lack the art of befriending the right soul but we seek comfort in the fact that we CANNOT change anything.  We assume, despair, alienate ourselves from the warmth that maybe just around the corner. Throughout our lives we pine for true love, but fail to realise that love isn’t only about that special someone, its about loving everyone who makes our life precious, don’t wait for love to come to you, give it selflessly, this may sound melodramatic but this can really steer the course of our life in the direction that leads to boundless joy.

Life happens, sadness happens, happiness happens, as much as we lose so we recover because the universe is not as miserly as Uncle Scrooge, who refuses to budge, it always gives, we have to seek so as to receive.  Closing ourselves from our fate is a terrible mistake, as sooner or later it will find us, so go out there fight your might, life isn’t a bed of roses but its worth living.  Each moment is as precious and as different from the other, each holds the promise of a prosperous tomorrow.  Breathe life into every moment, enjoy even the sorrow that comes your way, because when you find your moment of glory, you will value it like a four leaf clover, and preserve it just like an ancient mummy. 

People come and go, each person who touches our life is a great teacher, some may hurt, and some may heal, each one is important to help us grow out of our state of inertia.  The excitement lies in experiencing the valleys in the landscape of living and not the plane, reaching the peak after an all time low, adds a glow to our soul, and makes each moment of melancholy worth its while.  Make each moment special, do not question what it takes from us, question what we give it in return, the moment may inflict gloom, but you are the recipient, don’t accept it like a Grammy award, don’t curse your fate, fret and fume, take charge, challenge to change it, use your most powerful tool, the mind that is as potent as an alchemist’s elixir.

Problems plague the mind; success seems faraway, happiness an illusion, but the power and wisdom of turnaround lies within us.  There is always a solution to every worry; just as there is a day after night, calm after storm, each piece comes together in the end, the puzzle HAS to be complete, sometimes we try fitting the wrong pieces, but at the end of the day it all falls into perfect place.
