Thoughts for the week

Life isn't about knee jerk reactions or immediate results. No time to stand and stare would have been appropriately penned today as no time to pause and think. With so many distractions, it's easy to forget to pause and take stock. We all need to have the right balance between action and reflection. Self reflection always offers a chance to learn from our experiences. There is strength in acknowledging the past and especially in acknowledging the things learned from the past. There will be little rubs and disappointments everywhere as we are all apt at expecting a lot. Quite often life is unfair and if one scheme doesn't work it's human nature to calculate again. You have to fight through the bad days to earn the best days of your life. Courage is not always about the roaring, sometimes it's modest perseverance that strives to try again next day. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. And a cheerful disposition in every circumstance, especially during the grueling ones, lets one walk away with grace. 

Don't give up the search for happiness because you are afraid of getting hurt. Today is the tomorrow you were worrying about yesterday. The future depends on what you do today. The most common regrets are not about what you did, they are about what you didn't do when you had the chance. Take the chance to make a choice to change. As long as people can change, the world can change.
