Been reading a book nowadays that takes a lot of my time. So I am not into posting much stuff, sincere apologies to those who open my blog with a hope that I might have posted something new and different. Sorry :(
It was 11-11-11 Today! Much expected hype was created by the Media and social networking websites. Must have been a great day for those who partied all day and night. I didn't do anything much today, to be very honest. My day started bad with an extreme headache and I had absolutely no clue why it occurred. Some things annoyed me rest of the day. Felt lonely and pretty weird actually. I am sure there must be a billion bloggers writing their happiest moments of life that happened today, but unfortunately I have literally nothing much to write. Still waiting for the admissions in university to open so I can go and apply, and take the first step towards making a life for myself.
But, all the gloom aside, I did something today which I have not done in quite a lot of time. I promised myself....
I promised to struggle, till the very end, even if I fail again and again. I will not lose hope, I will not consider failure a result, instead I will take it as a reminder to make myself more better and more successful the next time.
I promised to 'dream'. Not fantasize, not daydream, but dream! To have those little desires in my heart that make me, or say, compel me to achieve my goals. As they say, as long as you dream, you live.
I promised to stay focused and not get distracted. My nature is, when I am committed to something, or someone, in any sense, there is no one who can distract me from my path of life. As I am one of those who hardly take dictations, its easy for me to go on my way and let others focus on theirs by not giving a little concern to them.
I promised to love. Every individual for their own-self.
I promised to do the things I love and not let anyone stop me!
I promised to not let others decide my life for me. Been there-done that. And it felt awful, insane and very scary. See, its your life-story you're writing. Your existence is what makes your life matter. So why give the pen to somebody else? Taking my own risks, planning my own future, deciding the good and bad for me, that's what I want to do.
And finally, I promised to not give up; on myself, on my dreams, on the people I love and on the goals I have set for myself.
Call it a new year's resolution, or just another unreal way to be hopeful, but thats who I am.
I talk to myself, tell myself the most impossible things, create the most unexpected scenarios and make them happen. Because only, if you're a true friend and true guide to yourself, only then you will be able to achieve something in life. Sooner, or later, everyone leaves you. There is no forever in this temporary world. What remains with you is your soul, your heart, your mind and your ability to collaborate all of them and make a life for yourself. It is not rocket-science to figure out what you want and desire. So, dream, and chase it. Because its after all your life, and you make the rules! Don't let others enforce their dreams on you. What they could not achieve, did not have the ability to do, why should you be responsible for that?
Love, everyone and everything. It's not easy, but don't complicate it either.
Believe, in yourself and your talents. You're a rock star, in your own sense. Even if one person smiles because of you; its a good deed you have done, and good deeds never go wasted!
Ignore the ones who make you sad. Why waste a space in your mind for those who won't spend one moment to see you smile? Right? Go ahead, learn to ignore, and learn to take it easy on yourself.
Simple is that, be yourself, love yourself, don't rely on others to make you happy. Life is simple, just like today's date; 11-11-11... Don't make it complicated.
