Crossroads - My Path!

Image
Sometimes life brings us at such crossroads that we need to be cautious & decide to opt the right road. Plumping for a path, randomly, would lead us nowhere. Knowing what ignites your passion, deciding, with your heart to guide you, 'will power' to make hard choices & resist excuses - this may lead to 'your' right path. But beware if you are not excited about it, its not the right path. Some roads may be misleading. They may shine as bright but may not be the best ones. Be Alert! In this journey, we meet several people, on our way. Buddies may be some, some just aquaintances, some come really close & will connect with you, some just not right ones to be with. I am not using the word 'enemy' here, people may be hostile, but why make enemies. I would rather ignore such hostility & move ahead! Sometimes some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost. Its fun right? Once in a while just heading & keep moving, explori...

We all do live for ourselves but once in a while its fun & learning, to be part of some circle - spending quality time with them. If you give away money in charity, the needy ones will get some food, clothing etc, just once. But t...

Change!

Everybody wants a change in life, but not the trouble that comes with it. Change is always pleasing when - working continuously for days we always say, "I need a break", "I need a change of climate, place". In short a small vacation, which is always a bliss. But if we need a break from work and decide to change the mode of work or its nature, Oh! thats a challenge. This change would be risky, dicy, moreover reluctant, right? Change is only constant thing in this world! Yes, agree, totally. But many a times it involves sacrifices. We always want something better, more than what we have. But the hostile conditions, doing something new, afresh, different than what we do, scare us big time! Brave, ambitious people take a chance, overcome the fear, break the boundaries. They may succeed or fail with their bold decisions, but atleast they give it a try! To achieve something, to make certain changes you surely have to come out of your comfort zones. This said and...
