a powerful quote!

regret is far more traumatising than fear!!!

go for it! if you want something, go get it, period.

smile!!

smile in joy, smile in pain

smile when sorrow pours like rain

smile when someone hurts your feeling

smile when the heart is heaving and reeling

smile even when you are worried much

for a smile always gives a healing touch

thought time, trifles and, pivots!

according to dictionary.com, a pivot is

"any thing or person on which something or someone functions or depends vitally"

a trifle is

"a matter, affair, or circumstance of trivial importance or significance"

today I am making an effort to categorise my thoughts into:

Pivots: a decision, a matter, a person, a situation that is very important for my existence and growth. Some of these matters could be:

career and professional growth
my loved ones and their health and wellness
my valued relationships
my health
anything to do with my mission, values and rules

Imagine I can't think of much....

Trifle: a trifle is a matter, a person, a decision or a situation of little importance. Some of these matters could be:

money and all the things money can buy. I have decided that money is something you o not have much contrl over. Just do your best to grow and keep it but like some people who would leave you, money and its corrolaries would take leave of you when they want....so it's a trifle
useless and redundant people


hence forth, everything that jumps in my mind will be categorised into:

pivots or trifles

if it's a pivot, i will give thought time to it and do whatver it takes to resolve it. If it's a trifle, no thought time will be given to it and I will get rid of it as soon as possible.

after all, thoughts are things in no time!!!

cheers and all the best on the project!

thought/s of the day!

a ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are built for!

a read this quote somewhere ages back and it still lingers in my mind. I identify myself with it. A ship is built to weather the storms of the sea and reach its destinations. That is how I would like to live my life. It's lived only once. It can either be a smooth ride without any risks or it can be a dangerous passage leading to wonders.

There were 2 roads into the woods. I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference

I am not a follower of the herd. I decide what is right for me and I will do the right thing. I will change what is wrong. If that means I will have to walk alone for a while, may be a long while,may be all the while, so be it.

Be grateful for the blessing of life and all it brings with it. There are no problems, only challenges. There are no mistakes only lessons and lessons are repeated until they are learnt. The only people who have no problems are in the grave. When you do not have any problems, lie on your knees, look up and ask the almighty- "god, no problems!!! what you do not trust me anymore!!!"

the storms in my mind!

my mind is a continous storm, I am always thinkign about why things happen the way they do....we are so imperfect as human beings. No matter how much we try to learn about life, it keeps fooling us and telling us that " you aint know a thing"!!!!!

I wonder about the balance that we keep striving for, I wonder about our sense of morals and concience, I wonder who hell decides what is right and what is wrong. I can't decide for myself so many times!!!!

the storms keep on raging and raving all the time and little I do to contorl them. Although, I can control the kinds of thoughts I would like to think, sometimes I do not.

nothing might be making sense, but it's okay....one of my friends is asking on gtak...are you feeling ok? ;)

calm seas never made a skilled mariner!!

my life has not been smooth and it still isn't. I keep making mistakes and screwing up things... ;)

and get into one complication after the another. I must admit I hav made much more mistakes in my life than I have succeeded and I think even the future will not be ay different. I know I will keep making mistakes. I have said earlier in these pages that what I do not want is to repeat the same ones..

However, they get repeated and the pain is borne till the lesson has been learnt!!

my seas have not been calm and the sea could be a mataphor for my mind. I have storms all the time and nothing will come easy...it's just like that...let's accept this once for all.....

thoughts of the day
