Life Boat.:)

Hi everybody,

The birth of a person sails towards death. Is the life journey an easy one?
Lot of problems and difficulties we face. The person who sails in the boat of confidence
with an oar of perseverance in a sea called Life only could reach his destination.
Only then his journey could be successful.
This world is not ours. We don’t belong to this world.
It was present before our entrance and it shall be even after our end .
We are the visitors and we would go away soon we complete our earthly work and
we should welcome both good and bad in the same way,
at least we can try.
Don’t compare yourself with others, each one of us was created for different reasons;
try to bring out your identity ,
which is present inside u.
Don’t take success or failures in material wealth.
But by how u feel.
Our feelings determine the richness of our lives.
There are lots of experiences we gain.
Waiting is a lovely experience,
When u wait for a person u love.
Pain is a lovely experience,
When you deliver a child.
Anger is a lovely experience,
When you oppose illegal things.
Departure is a lovely experience,
When your daughter gets married.
Crying is a lovely experience,
When u feel happy.
Death is a lovely experience ,
Only when u live life to the fullest.

I feel that living life to the fullest is to have hope.
Sometimes we may feel that everything is lost and some void space fills our heat.
I too had such experience.
I had a friend in my neighborhood
I started liking her because of her attitude and also bcoz she possessed my best friend’s name.
Don’t know till that moment,
That she had a brain tumor,
When the doctor’s could not help,
She reached the feet of god, left me and created a void space.
And this happened two days before my final semester exams.

I closed my books, could not even cry, I was unable to accept the truth that she was no more.
I did not talk anything, came back home and cried to the core. What else I can do?
The past full of memories rolled down my head,
my mind and soul could not hold the pain inside, her memories went like a slide show throughout.
I thought of calling prathiba, coz she possess the ability to turn dull moments bright and
she knows when to offer advice or when to sit silent in quiet comfort.But I was unable to.
I felt like something, I could not explain those.

Two days passed, the day for my exam. Some how managed to get ready for the college.
I did not let go hope, because hope gave me the strength to keep going, when I felt like giving up.
I have written my exams to my level best.

The lessons I have learnt,

1. Dont let bad moments overcome you,
Be patient, it will pass.

2. Don’t feel like u have lost,
When your dreams fall short of your hopes.
Anytime u learn something new,
About urself or about life,
U have progressed.

3. Don’t ever guilt believing your self.
As long as u believe u can,
U will have a reason for trying.

I remember the words of Mahatma Gandhiji,

“Man often become what believe himself to be. If I believe I cannot do some thing,
it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it ,
even if I did not have it in the beginning”.

And thank u all for reading my post very patiently.

Live your life to the fullest.

C u all in my next post. :)

@Ramya,

You have touched the inner core of life in this post. But, speaking of actual reality,with so much of relational dependencies -- love and affection that we nurture amongst our kith and kin and our friends, it would indeed be very much herculean to just take things like that, to just welcome things as it comes.

It is easy to say that to welcome everything with a friendly smile. Nevertheless the acute 'heaviness' in heart in the very moment that we experience at the time of distressful trials and tribulations, we need to seek the mercy of Almighty and good friends' consoling words.

I would strongly support the section of your post on The lessons I have learnt. It would'nt be lessons only for you but thanks for sharing with the world too.

Precisely, a deep-content post.
