A car named life

Sometimes life behaves just like a car. We steer it in a direction, and voila you suddenly find yourself at Disneyland. Hand over the steers to another, and there you land yourself a flat tyre. Life needs controlling, it needs direction and it needs to reach a destination.

Why are so many of us trapped in following the route laid out by others? Why is that we are afraid to make a U turn and take time to explore opportunities? It is never too late to follow your dreams…my grandpa got a law degree after he retired from his day job at around 60!

And for heaven’s sake you’ve got just these pair of wheels, look after them, oil them, nurture them…. Stop ogling at the Ferrari. Each life has its own unique purpose; find it!

Make things happen, don’t let things happen to you.

Work life balance

There is beautiful quote, “Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow’”

It is something that keeps me always motivated and not bogged down by work pressures.

In this high stress, over achieving arena, it seems to be compulsory never to fail, to always be right and never apologize. Personally, I cannot stand fools. Yet, let us look at this in another light – we are human, and we can err. It is a mark of great character to apologize if you have made a mistake.

And, the world will not fall apart if you make an error. (Unless you are a nuclear scientist or the President who accidently imagined WMDs and went to war)

It is important to unwind and spend time with oneself. Indulgence is not a crime, and yes you deserve to buy that exquisite pair of shoes or earrings or a watch that will cost perhaps half your month’s paycheck. Sometimes, it is just ok to be happy.

Saving for the rainy day is encouraged, but do not miss out on life. Live it and love it!
