What are some things that make me-me?
I have gifts and weaknesses and it is easy to look outside of myself and project all of my desires, hopes, dreams and insecurities onto others but the fact is, people often balance one another out, teach one another and inspire one another by being so different. We bring different things to the table and all are as important as the other. Like a unique puzzle piece, the big picture would never be complete without any of us.
Who knew?
I wish I could always be in control of things (I am the gal whose yoga pants always wind up with those awful bleach stains from attempting to clean the bathroom in between writing breaks and my closet-oy!) I m more ourageous and open to things. I m some one who wants to have all of my ducks in a row, always look fabulous and bring things down to a neat reality in 60 seconds flat. I being in my mid-twenties want my own pad in Bandra, a killer salary and a tight grip on my life and future. I wanna do all of this in gorgeous three-inchers.
What are my favorites?
When was the last time I did something out of the ordinary? lemme think...This week, why dont I make plans to step out of my comfort zone and trying something new.
A new cuisine?
Going on a date with someone I normally would turn down?
A new hairstyle (AHH...no chopping off PLEASE....!)
Skydiving?
What are some things I can do to add a little spice to my life? I would love to hear your ideas--let's inspire one another!
There r times in my life when I soar high, feeling life's cool breeze run through my hair and those in which I open my eyes and realize that I am heading straight into a wall. Of those times when I fall flat onto my face and wonder if I will ever regain the momentum I was enjoying years, months, weeks, days ago, I would like to remind you of this:
Life is a series of moments and I could not enjoy the high's without the low's. If I never knew thirst, how could I appreciate water? Without loneliness companionship is not as sweet.
I am growing, learning, seeking, hoping, dreaming and developing on a daily, even hourly basis. To do this,I must embrace a variety of experiences, good and bad.
I can always start fresh and in doing so I allow myself the chance to start better for I will always be wiser and stronger having learned and survived so much more than the time I started over before. Have faith in myself and do not worry about what has always been or what I fear might become. Just be who I am and do the best I can with the information I have in front of me.
Do you have a soulmate?
You know, a friend that will always give it to you straight, make you laugh and leave you with the feeling that your whole life will be OK and is not as screwy as you thought it was after you hang up the phone?
One of the people who do this for me is my friend far away from me. For 1.5 year, this funny, feisty, wise young man has been making me laugh-and think- with what I now call his borrreeee jokes. He did this again last night and had me roaring(with laughter)!!!
From life and friendship to love and SPIRITUALITY, things he has said r funny and insightful. I ve learned a lot from our conversations and hence I conclude...
“People do not live in reality anymore. I am glad everyone enjoys reading the fairy tales and watching the sitcoms but guess what? Life doesn’t work that way. In fact, when I have been in those fairy tale kind of relationships, I wasn’t happy. Know why? It wasn’t real.”
“I think the reason any husband and wife get along so well is because they don’t talk Monday through Friday.”
“I don’t need advice, I just need to pay attention to what’s really happening and not blind myself with what I wish was happening or what you worry might be happening.”
“Always ask myself, “do I have to know or do I want to know?” I mean, do I really need to know how many women your boyfriend has been with or just his medical history?”
“There is nothing going on in my relationship that isn’t going on somewhere else. So I shudnt feel so isolated.”
“I have to laugh. People are funny and act really stupid sometimes. If every little thing makes me mad, I m not going to have a good relationship with anyone.”
“S%$# Happens in life. I hate to say it but all kinds of people do really stupid things for no reason at all. I just have to move on and deal with it.”
“I would like to meet these couples who have these hour-long meaningful conversations every day? They don’t exist. For those who have them, I got news for you, one of you doesn’t want to talk and isn’t speaking up.”
“Don’t push for so much conversation just to have something to say. The more I do this, the more I will argue. Think about it; don’t all of those long, pressured conversations usually end up with bickering? Talk when I need to TALK"
“Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks about what I am doing. They are not thinking about me 24-7 and even if they were, who cares?”
“Just be happy. Go on vacations when I can, be with my family, do my job and live my life. People make things way too complicated for that matter."
“Live in reality and stop kidding myself and I won’t have so much damn stress in my life. There is no need to analyze everything. People are always analyzing. Reality is reality.”
There is no one else in the world like me. There is no one who has experienced every single experience I have or shares the exact same outlook that I do. I bring something unique and wonderful into this world every single day I m in it.I m one of a kind and while it might be nice to admire the bodies, personalities, achievements and other attributes belonging to others, I can only be me.
Take what I have and take the best care of it I can. I honor the space that is my body. Exercise my mind and clean out the clutter and chaos that comes by way of toxic relationships, bad habits and vintage thought processes.
Carry myself with the care and pride I do my favorite piece of jewelry or clothings. Cherish myself. I do not have to look a certain way, be a certain size or be attached to someone to be gorgeous, loveable and meaningful to this world. I m priceless and the moment I ve realize that my whole life has opened up.
Someone is looking at me with admiration right now. They see greatness in me. Now I see it in myself.
Tell me, what do you love about u?
Have a great weekend, my friends.
happy sunday!!! hehehe..........
