Unsearched future remains an unwritten one

We live in a digital world surrounded by electronic devices and applications that have made our physical activities hit the ground level. Many among us mechanically run the race of life retiring safely in the conventional manner.

How many of us stop by during our middle age to think about our contribution to life instead of lamenting what life has done to us?

Have we ever thought about contributing to the mankind in our own unique way, pulling ourselves out of the cocoon we are entangled in?

Have we ever mentally engaged ourselves to think beyond our limited relationships so we bring about changes at least in few unknown lives?

Self reflection is the mother of mental development

Passages in time contain precious memories that are worth retaining for a life time. When we self reflect on our past in an honest manner, we tend to feel that the only thing that really makes sense is our past. Many of the past happenings make us feel silly and embarrassing. We feel we could have responded instead of reacting. This is the brilliant effect the concept of ageing has on our mental attributes.  

Honest self reflection teaches us many things that we ought to have learnt in the past but missed to do so. These are the lessons that have cost our past life if one has to lament anything about the same. These lessons act as the strong foundation for our new future if only we have an open mind to learn and put them into practice.

Honest self reflection offers high scope to develop our mental faculties in the most pragmatic manner. Self reflection is an opportunity that life offers us free of cost to mend our ways in the future to come.

Design your future… reinvent your life

Life, in reality, is absolutely a delicate affair. It is highly unpredictable. Taking something for granted today may cost us our happiness tomorrow. Nothing happens without a reason and every reason has a connection to our past. By the time we realize this link between our past and the present, most of us reach the fag end of our life.

An unwritten poem fails to create a Poet  

An unbuilt structure fails to create an Architect

An unsung song fails to create a Singer

An unplanned future fails to create an Achiever

As we browse through the pages of our past life, we need to learn the crucial lessons it offers to design our future life. When we live our current life in a mechanical manner without revisiting our past life or planning for our future life, time starts the designing work all by itself. Our future life also falls in its hands as did our past and present life. We remain chained blaming fate and people around us for the plight we experience in our future too, which is then our present.

Unsearched future remains an unwritten one

Uttering the word water does not quench the thirst. All through our life we have dreaded condemnation so much that our thirst for approval remained unquenched. We constantly wait for acknowledgement from others losing our own individuality in the process.

We remain chained to many things even if the same are irrelevant to our current life situations. We live the life that comes our way and hopefully will do the same in the future also. Unfortunately, an unplanned future fails to create a good life.

No one creates our life for us. We are responsible for designing the same. Unless we realize this, we stagnate like stinking water in the gutter. We tend to remain in the same position we were in the past or we are in today.

Be the author of your future

Sit in a lonely place. Think about where you have been in your life, where you are right now and where you want to travel in the future to come. Think about those things that you loved doing as you grew up and understand which of those you miss in your current life. Then, your ‘self’ that is yearning to interact with you will make you understand what you have to be doing.

Do what you are passionate about. Do that which is highly gratifying. Let people think you are crazy. Never mind. Ultimately it is your thirst that needs to be quenched. When your mind calms down interacting with you in a constant manner, you experience the best version of yourself. This is when you will start celebrating your life witnessing immense value in the same. As you start seeing the value of your life, it will offer you infinite number of reasons to celebrate the same. Your life will become a perpetual celebration and you will become the author of your future.

Write your future. Be the author and hero yourself. Remember, unsearched future remains an unwritten one.
