Taking Granted Part - II

I was talking about taking time for granted and losing the time that you have in your hand.

Take this one:
You are bored of doing something, planning something, or even joining others in their plan.
You think it's ok to let go. May be some other time...
Of course, it is a good idea to take a break from routine, from people and spend relax, lazy time, time when you do nothing. Such breaks help in getting you closer to yourself. But if you almost always do the same thing just because you are not enough motivated to do something, then you are losing the time, the opportunity. You may not realize at that time, but after few years or few months, you will repent for the same thing. You'll feel "Oh!! wish, I had done that", "Wish, I had gone there, with them and enjoyed.." You lost that time and Now, today, you are sitting in a chair thinking, repenting for the lost time.

How many times you have sat and talked about the happy and joyous time spent together? How many times you have genuinely cherished the school time, college friends, movies, picnic, tours?

The list can be bigger, if you remove that boredom-block. If you realize that the time you are getting is for a reason then you won't lose it. If you don't take time for granted then you will know the value of time.

The bitter fact is you are going to lose all your friends, family one day (when we have taken birth, we are going to die) - Why are you taking this uncertain life for granted so much and losing the Now? Why?

I am surely sounding like a preacher in last two posts, but do you think I care if you call me a preacher? :-) Well, certainly if you matter to me, I am sure you will take my preaching positively. I trust you.

I might still come up with another part on the same topic, not sure though. But for today, this is it.

Take care and Enjoy!!

Life offers many many branches on our path.. and whatever way we had passed is the one we choose or forced to. And the only way we could have experienced all we had and reached where we are.

Though at the end it doesn't matter, is just the state of our mind to rue "we lost a lot" or smile and say "Kya phark padega"

mmm... if we haven't chosen our paths in the past, let us not rue for it.. we can always start now.. :) .. It could be even, proposing the preacher.. :) just go ahead...

Sathish,

:) Nice to see your proposal..unfortunately, it doesn't work that way ;-) But it is always good to try :D .. lol...

By the way, you said in the end it doesn't matter - NO, IT DOES matter. It's not ur state of mind, it is your choice. When you say "Kya fark padega" then that's actually you are submitting to the situation and telling yourself that it is out of control. But my point has always been that "You have a choice and you make the choice".

Choice is one thing, while this post is targeting at not taking time for granted and try to enjoy the present to its fullest so that you never have to repent for lost time.

Did I propose :-? :) Anyway how does it work (May be a topic for a future post). Yeah good to try.. :)

Yes it is the choice ... by "In the End" I meant at the end of our life... again a choice to rue or smile over our choices through out our life... :)

Understood. :)
