Life n its Lessons

To Catch a Star one must be a dreamer .. i am just a realist

With time i have come to realize … when you argue with reality no matter how you look at it .. you will always lose at the end….Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead….

There is no way to define a righteous path in life … But there is always a way to define your own path ..

So whatever floats your boat .. Reality floats mine

Its about time i finish this … Been a draft for a few months now ..

Criticize yourself more then others do… But Appreciate yourself more then others ever will .. Unless you don’t appreciate yourself .. others never will..

Anyone interested in self-development would have an open mind, have the ability to question the status quo, and find their own truth beyond the barrage of misinformation and ingrained beliefs of our society.

Anyways let get to the point here … Have you ever tried to change yourself ?

Most folks i know tend to apply a barrage of changes after major events in their lives …i have too and when i look back at it .. how many of those changes did i actually accomplish ? An individuals growth into life is a slow abstract process .. while change is a slow drawn out process … Abstract or Drawn out one needs to accept a fundamental fact rome wasn’t built in a day.. nor was or will your life ..

Here is what works best for me .. Make Two Lists

a) All the Things you are good at i.e Good Qualities/Habits etc
b) All the Things you suck at i.e Bad Qualities/Habits etc

Now Prioritize list B in a order you think is best for you

Every day look at that list .. First List A and give yourself a pat on your back …and then List B .. The day you decide to apply your first change take the last item on list B and give it a shot once you accomplish it.. give yourself a break for a few weeks and see if the change actually sticks around .. a change is not a change unless it sticks .. if it doesn’t its just a phase .. Once you think you are ready for more take the second last item .. and keep going up the list .. time is not a essential factor here .. the race is only with yourself so don’t try and benchmark yourself..

The Rational behind addressing your list backwards is simple … One needs to learn to crawl before you can even attempt to walk ..

I woke of this morning on a 3 feet couch .. It amazed me how i fit 6 feet of me almost in it …At least a week back it was a 5 feet Couch ..Maybe i was just too exhausted to worry about comfort ..

Lost that 2 feet of space along with a good friend to the dogmata of everyday life ..Cynical as it sounds .. Quite a few folks i know seem to apply the “Me” Factor more often then most .. I on the other hand have tried keeping it at bay..

There is nothing wrong in being self centered .. but given a choice i would still choose to grow out of myself rather then grow into myself.. A wise man once told me “Don’t let events or people around you change who you are .. There never was and never will be anything more profound then finding your own truth .. thats what makes you special ..

Everyone can run by choice .. You will too someday .. and when you run.. just reason with yourself .. cause you can’t run for long .. eventually life as you know it will be a drag .. Running from your emotions and your feelings is as good as running away from yourself.. They too are very much a part of you as your own two hands..”

Getting away from the rush of NYC and finding asylum in the silence of jersey has helped me put quite a few things into perspective ..

The Mind is a powerful tool.. It can rationalize your irrational feelings and emotions to show the light of reason..

But its still your choice ..

Well my stop’s here time to hop off the NJ Transit and catch the metro to work

Its been a while since i have been this numb … but sure does remind me of the days ..

Sometimes i wish if it was my ego …..would make it easier on me and make it all my fault ..

Over the years for some strange reason i have put my best foot forward always to maintain relations with close friends and loved ones .. no matter how bumpy of a ride i may have had with them …

if you care enough for someone to a point .. where it doesn’t matter who’s fault it is .. An apology doesn’t take much effort as my dad used to say …it doesn’t matter if you have to put down your pride .. but it does matter if it was your self respect

Realizing  the difference between the two doesn’t come easy … takes alot of falling and even more a strong heart ..  sometimes our emotions get the better of us .. but its ok no man is ever right always and experience only comes with bad choices …

Everyone one including me has made them … such is life keep moving

You will never know someone …. Unless someone decides you should know them
its the profound truth whether we like it or not ..

Its Human Nature to fear oneself naked from the preying eyes of the world.

Sometimes our doings are best left untold as repercussions would not only hurt you as a individual but many around you as well ..  i don’t agree with the above .. but i do respect it ….

A few have trusted me to see what they hide .. Many have shown me what they would like me to see… and then there are a few who i would like to know but would never know anything about …

After all you are what you hide …
