As the years go by I wonder what is more important in life..is it the money, the popularity, the education, the past, the future, the success, the failure, the power, the appearances...??? or is it simply a Perception...an attitude to perceive things...see things a bit differently...not the usual way...not like "how other people think or say or do"...but your own way....a way that makes you feel good about yourself...your accomplishments. There has to be something that we can control when things don't work our way, when life isn't what we want it to be..something that drives us...for every single day of our lives. And I guess that is our ATTITUDE!! We can't really go back and undo our past...undo the things we have done..unsay the things we have said...but how about taking all of that as an experience...as a learning. All of us have been a bit more or less careless & selfish in our lives but would we want to spend the rest of our lives ranting and raving about our selfishness...carelessness or should we be generous enough to forgive our selves...let go of all that ugliness and get rid of that burden..be the free flying bird once again. Why is it so difficult..why is it so hard to forgive oneself...why do we build these guilt walls and trap our selves into it? Isn't that suicidal? Why cant we get rid of all of that and instead cling to one thing that we have going for us...our Attitude. I think life is more about what we make of it rather than what it throws at us. So how about taking a shot at that...I need to learn this...we all need to...we don't have to punish ourselves endlessly for not achieving something...be it an admission in IIT's or IIM's..a good job...a better package..etc etc. Lets just be happy and content after all we aren't here forever...all this is gonna go someday..so lets make the most of what we have and be proud of it. Lets just live life...
