Future

Well its been a long time i posted something. Sorry but the problem is ive been thinking way too much about the future. But then suddenly i realised it  was no point wasting time on the future because it was affecting my present. So i said NO TO THE FUTURE.


Lets "Say No to the Future!"

We worry so so much about the future that is so so far away. The world's becoming more random than ever, things are changing faster than ever, nothing can be predicted the way it all used to be. So what's the point in thinking about something far far away when there is nothing that you can really do to be sure of how things will be at that time. Let us try to Say No to the Future! It doesn't mean that you simply stop caring about what's gonna happen in the time to come, but it means that lets put a limit on the number of years from now that we should spend any of our time thinking about. 

So for example, you could set your limit for 2 years, and for now, think actively and plan only for that amount of time. For some, a month itself may be long enough, while for students, setting 6 monthly / yearly targets might be a good thing. This range needs to be decided based on where our life is right now, but the important thing to be understood is that we can't keep setting goals and expectations far away in the future, for more often than not, all such expectations aren't gonna be met. Instead, lets try to live in small parts by looking at only the next few milestones and not the entire road that lies ahead of us.

You see, sometimes, looking at the whole road before starting with a journey can scare you, and make you worry unnecessarily about the twists and turns and potholes that lie ahead. While, problems of course will be there at different times, why should we spend our time right now in worrying about something that MAY happen in the future. The future's far away, lets let it be that way. Lets try to concentrate on life in smaller phases and leave our present worries about the distant future for the distant future itself.

We spend too much unnecessary time worrying about the future, the only way to break that habit is to not see too far ahead and try to live whatever is there right now. (P.S : In some cases, you simply have to think about the very distant future, but in most cases, we can very well do away with it)

Dad

We usually hear songs and posts and all sorts of praises for our mothers but do we even remember the contribution of our father's?

The chocolates every night, the shoulders that carried you everywhere in the beautiful world, the endless times playing and teaching you outdoor sports are just small things our father's have done for us.

The dreams, the aspirations for us, their devotion and investment for the dreams, his support physically, mentally, financially. His teachings, methods to fight the world, handle finances, fulfill responsibilities with love and care but being harsh too. Him always standing behind you to fight with you in your problems, his happiness at your success, his support and motivation at your failures are all really important things we fail to see.

In the emotions and sacrifices of our mothers we fail to see the most important growth and building block support of our father's.

I still remember the endless number of times when dad supported me. Let me make mistakes and rectified them for me so that I learn. He always stood there like a rock.  His appreciation when I scored a 92 in my 10th, his anger and concern when I scored low in the 12th. He was strict showing me my mistake but he made me stand by helping me take my branch of interest.

Still remember all the gadgets he bought for me fighting mommy for me. Listening to the endless curses she put on him. His vision for me. His astrological predictions aand and warnings for me which were always bang on, his understanding of my love affair and his unsuccessful attempt of patching it back.

Miss his whistles that woke me up in the morning, miss his phone call at 9 at night asking me to pick him up, the 10 minute drive describing our day's going to each other, his way of feeding the worst veggies in the best possible way but what I miss most is his innocent sweet happy nature which taught me honesty and hard work showing me that struggles with hard work always give you sweet fruits.

Miss his signature on my job offer letter,  teaching me the different scenarios and rituals of life. His systematic nature, straightforward working and his easy go attitude is always remembered at every juncture.

Miss you daddy. Keep blessing me and guiding me always. Always loved.
