WE and NEW!!

Away from known, I have come,

Gone are the days of home.
Not knowing what future holds.
Yet standing to walk forward.

These words sound familiar to those who have come away from home for work or studies. I sometimes wonder if I have stayed in my city I wouldn't have felt this depressingly gloomy and miserably poignant. I would have been happy there among my friends, among my family, in my room, in my home. It will have been my good ol’ life...

My city gave me my 21 years of love, happiness and bliss. I also had my share of heartbreaks. City life was of fun, courage and enthusiasm.

Wonder what may happen next,
Unknown and mysterious  rest.

Next! Yes. Life full of opportunities, chances, probabilities and prospects. It will also be of enthusiasm, passion and love.
A life where we will be skilled, trained in all the walks of life. We will teach ourselves to be proficiently qualified in our fields.

Not bad?! Huh?

Our dreams are to be triumphant in our lives despite of how longingly we look back at our past. Our past may be very blissful to look at. But it is our future that we have to make a success of heavenly pleasure.

Past where mom’s cooking was delicacies. Nowadays food is the sole reason to be healthy.
Past where our room is our room. Now we learn the art of sharing.
Past where studies were easy. Now it is being a professional.
Past where home works were a bore. At this time assignments need to be interesting.

Present and future!
Surprises ye have.
Yet how fun ye will be.

Next, I don’t know what will happen. Then I don’t know how I may be.
Next I don’t know how I will fare. Then I don’t know how successful I will be.

Future may be this, that, etc, etc. All I want is an honest, truthful and sincere life of opportunities, where I will learn, be trained, gain knowledge and achieve wisdom and live my life to the fullest.

New city. New place. New work. New life.
Fresh opportunities. Bright sunbeams.
Vivid aims. Colourful dreams.
Vibrant plans. Innovating ideas.

I don’t want to be brooding and gloomy about my past. Past should be memories which I will fondly remember.
I want my future to be enthusiastically passionate. My present should be bright and vivid where I can pave my future through.

"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."

WE and What Ifs!!!

Future…

Uncertain and unsure life ahead...

What will happen next? How my future will be? Will my life shape according to my choices?

We always have these questions in our mind. We always think about the future.

My friends and I are constantly thinking about our future for the next two years.
What will happen? Will my dreams become reality? Will I get what I want? Will the teachers love me?

But, don’t you think that we are missing out on life now. We have omitted the joys of being a graduate. Yes, I know, the results are uncertain, given what we have written. But, we have finished college. That itself calls for a celebration.

Yet, here we are, thinking about our post graduation and work days.

True, that we need planning and preparation for our future. For that top ground breaking place, we need to think about our future.
But, that doesn't mean we will forget about our very present.

You must be thinking why I am talking about present and future, because we all know these basics.

Yes, we all know that we should live in the present, future will be shaped accordingly. Yet, we end up thinking about ‘What will happen’ or ‘What if’!

What will happen if I am not selected? What if my parents don’t talk to me anymore because I didn't choose what they chose for me! What will happen if I screw up on my first day? What if I don’t get the first place? What if he got a better offer than me? And so on...  and there are also What will happen if he/she rejects me?? What if that I don’t deserve him/her? What will happen if my boyfriend/girlfriend leaves me? What will happen if he/she falls in love with someone good looking than me? And so forth…

Okay so innumerable what ifs & what will happens. And our present vanishes in this innumerable in this…

You must be thinking that we need to address these “Innumerable what ifs & what will happens” to make our future bright.

But our future will shine only if we work on making us shine… Thinking about these questions and procrastinating them will never make us shine… And if we work on living our present will surely have a shining future… 

And also about asking the right ‘what ifs and what will happen’. Like What will happen if I choose a degree course instead of a diploma course? What if I join this institution instead of this college? What will happen If I loved him/her for what he/she is? What if I give this relationship some time instead of coming to conclusions?

Yes, addressing the right questions makes life simple. But we need to have that affirmative feeling in our questions and also that optimistic attitude to whatever life offers. Yes, you may say all time optimism is hard, when we don’t get what we want. But being sad and crying and feeling disgusted with what we never wanted yet got nevertheless, will never make us happy.

Living our life today is what matters. These what ifs and what will happens come and go. We need to be living today so that as we all say to have a bright and shining future. Addressing the right questions, dealing with life with that smile and that correct attitude helps…
