Any regrets?

We all have our sour memories of regrets..
Our lives are held back with so many of them. We constantly look back pondering over our actions, words, decisions and the outcomes. Our every now and then never ending yet exhausting travel through the past leaves us with sore thoughts and judgments of ourselves and others..
Stop that at once.
Stop the 'what-ifs' and 'what-if-nots'.  Stop day dreaming of what your life would have been had you not done this or that. Stop judging your self on the basis of your decisions.
Regrets are burdens that you hold and weigh you down. No matter what you did back then and what you wanted out of it, what you really have today is right here in your hands. And this is all you need.. The thoughts of the past are often so crippling and powerful that they not only consume your today but also the chances that your tomorrow holds..
"Of course, only and only if YOU give them that power.." 
It is important to sit back and think once about all those decisions which went wrong. 
Take a walk down to the 'beach' of your life. Sit down for a while and write down everything on the sand that you feel deserves to be regretted upon and GRIND your lessons out of it. Then get up . Let the waves take them away.You just grab your lessons and start to walk ahead.


Nothing is really as bad or as good as you think of it be. No decision ever made can be as great or as worse as you imagine it to be. Keep yourself from being carried away with the extremes.
Appreciate yourself and this day. Learn from your past mistakes. Search for pearls of wisdom and do something about all of it TODAY.
Circumstances and people will remind of all the things that you should regret having done. And I promise you that you will add more to the list of what you might want to crib about in future.Give up that temptation. Try to understand the past instead of being haunted by its memory. 
And the next time a regretful memory comes at the doorstep of your thoughts take a deep breath, open the door ,snatch your lesson and shut the door right at its face. And keeping that lesson with you ..You are ready to take yourself where you really want to be..

Coffee stains on forever

The loud noises coming from the kitchen woke him up with a jolt. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was 8AM. Already. He was late. Yet hearing those two voices coming from the kitchen he dug his face back into the pillow and tried to cover his ears, as much as possible, so he could block them out totally. ‘When will all this end..all I want is to shut myself from this..’ he said to himself. Like every other morning. Even today they were fighting. Not a day passes when these two people who are the anchors of his life don’t fight like the bitter most enemies of the world. He finally gave up on his attempts to keep those voices from reaching him. Getting up from the bed he tried to listen to what was it about, today. He couldn't understand all that they were saying. All he could hear was the shouting, some broken sentences with angry words, the harsh tone and the rage in the voices of the two people. What is the damn topic? Oh! It is the coffee...

Midnight Ramblings - 2

To my astonishment I dived in again. The same way. Maybe deeper this time. Aren't we the same forever. We want everything in life. Knowing. We wont have everything. We keep sailing our boats. Sometimes against each other.   And we still dive. Knowing. It will hurt. Knowing all good things come to an end. Almost all good things - We wish.   We take the fall. Joyously. Fearfully. Excited and nervous. We know how we will be left. How we could be left. We do it anyway. To see how long it lasts. Forever?   How it will leave us. Broken down. Sinking. Drowning. Angry and heart broken. Self loathing and lost.   Then. We will push our selves to reach the shore. To make it to some place safe. Feeble and weak. With our hearts pounding and aching. Looking for someone to hear us out. And not wanting to say a word. Scarred and wiser.   Do we ever lose hope? Our stories are engraved then in our souls and on our skins. Etched. Never to be erased. Eyes, if t...

Unless you know what you truly want.

I am going through a stage in my life where I have to make some of the most important decisions. Just when I feel over-burdened with this responsibility, weighing each possible option and their consequences I began to realize how fortunate we are who have the chance to get to choose. Only sometimes you get a choice. Because there are times choices are made for you and there are those times too when you have no choice at all. If you are one of those lucky few who have this chance to choose you will often see yourself standing at the face of a fork end of the road. And suddenly the great lines by Robert Frost run through your mind.. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both" The question still lies there. Which one should I take. One road takes us on the path of fight and other takes us on the path of a flow. First one will challenge you each day offering a battle in order to reach the final end and the second one is the peaceful ...
