A successful journey or travel is associated with a lot of
forethought, planning, coordination and perfect execution. We wish to be
comfortable, enjoy ourselves and achieve objectives of the journey without any
problems. We capture glimpses of the journey through the lenses of our eyes as
well as a camera and preserve them for years to come. We rewind the memories
when we are alone or with our near dear ones and relive the moments.
How many of us go into such details when it comes to our
lives? Not very many I suppose. Is it because our lives are less important than
a journey of sightseeing, excursion, picnic or pilgrimage? Is it that we are
too busy and complacent to think and plan our lives ? Is it that
we consider planning our lives too mundane an activity? Is it because for
some, life is a challenge and they are busy in making the two ends meet or
solve its riddles?
The reasons could be numerous and along with it the
excuses as well. Whatever the case may be we must realize that it is our life
and it deserves the utmost importance. It is a journey; not for day, week or
months; it entails a life time spanning few decades. Though it spans few
decades, it needs to be planned on a day-to-day basis. The underlying factor
for the above is time. When we say life, many things associated with it come to
our mind; one of them being time. How much time do I have is an oft asked
question. It is so because, we wish to accomplish a particular task in time,
before it is late or too late.
Focusing our thoughts on time
and the things we need to accomplish during the lifetime will give proper
perspective to our lives and we will be able to draw a to-do-list, plan,
coordinate and execute well.
Life, especially the human life
is a precious gift. Let us make its journey fruitful and enjoyable.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteThe way you articulate your thoughts and make them into a beautiful post is simply beautiful. The words of your post just flow out into the reader's mind and trigger thoughts. Indeed! Are we too busy to appreciate and enjoy this journey of life, unlike the jaunts we take for pleasure? Something that makes us think. As you said, we all must add meaning and make this journey fruitful.
A beautiful post sir :)
Dear Revanth,
DeleteThanks for your encouraging comments. For many people, the journey called life is the least planned one. If only we invoke our innate powers and plan our journey well , every human being will Take Flight.

What motivates me to continue that journey is
ReplyDelete1) a never ending thirst for achievement or accomplishment
2) to learn everything that I can
3) the desire to see everything that for me is beautiful
4) giving a reason to my family and loved ones to stay happy
but there are certain days on which this quotient of happiness or enjoyment is higher than others, which is acceptable.. this journey sometimes is more enjoyable than the depressing times but at all times there is a realization of the bigger picture towards which I am moving and which gives heart to that moment and makes the journey worth it. Everyday you learn and and at every point in time you have a motive or direction(right or wrong) which is and value adding and exactly what makes that moment worth living. And never does one lose heart.
this is the philosophy I live by.. and I am very much inspired by seeing the say you take life.. Well written Sir..
Dear Rohit,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. When we have the larger picture infront of us always and everytime, Life's Journey is the most enjoyable journey. I have personally experienced it and can confidently say so. As you rightly said, there will always be ups and downs in life and the one who acquires an equilibrium, will be able to pass through them with a stedy pace.
You write well and keep doing so.
