The Voyage called Life

" Life, he realized, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, In the end there is confirmation, but it is in the middle where all the emotions reside to make the whole thing worthwhile" - Nicholas Sparks
In this voyage called life I have learnt that life goes on no matter what the loss maybe, no matter how painful everyday maybe, no matter how much you may like to dwell over the past, or no matter how much you would like life to fast forward just a bit because the current existence is just too painful to deal with I have learnt that each day would unfold just exactly as it was meant to be.


"You are going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, its always their actions you should judge them by. Its actions, not words that matter." - Nicholas Sparks
- Tell me again, how you went from loving me "more" to loving me no more?

 I have learnt that love happens when you are least looking for it and it disappears just exactly when you have made space for it and learn to love the feeling of being in love. I have learnt that when it has to go it just leaves creating a hollow in one’s existence, I have learnt that strangers may fall in love and identify themselves as soul mates and the same soul mates resemble like strangers in just the blink of a moment.

I have learnt that life brings in equal amounts of joyous moments and equal amounts of gloomy moments, it all really depends on how much you celebrate your happy moments probably by living each moment of your happiness to the fullest, and how bravely you face the misty moments, taking each impediment in your stride bravely repeating to yourself with all the conviction you can muster that “this phase shall also pass”.

I have learnt that the only way to achieve what you want is by making yourself believe that you really can pull off what you dream, by actually pushing yourself to achieve those dreams. No dream is ever realized without pain, struggle, hard work, perseverance, determination and the occasional tear. I have learnt that on your path to reaching out the stars that bedazzles your gaze you are going to find a number of people telling you how impossible your goals are, or how difficult the road lays ahead of you, many may even try to persuade you to rethink of your decision to want to fly that high and reach those stars, but it is you who has to firmly stand by for yourself and allow yourself to achieve all that you desire for.

I have learnt that the act of compassion and giving not only helps another being during his wearisome times, but it gives you the feeling of inner happiness and peace which is rare to find in the ever challenging & chaotic lives we lead.

I have learnt that there are often going to be phases when you are going to find yourself to be all on your own, and during those times you have to try a little harder than usual to let the inner light of yours to continue to ignite against all adversities, you have to try harder to continue to pave your way amid all the hardships.


"Never be ashamed of a scar, it often means that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you"- Unknown
I have learnt that no matter how long and dark the night gets, with the crack of dawn that seeps in unhurriedly, sturdily spreads rays of sunshine brightening luminosity across the skies of dawn just the same way worries, heartaches, struggles and periods of hopelessness would soon follow periods of happiness, success, peace and fulfillment. You just got to hang in there till the sunrises.

I have learnt during the voyage called life that nothing lasts forever, hence let go of what hurts, forgive and forget quickly, smile always, laugh aloud, never lose faith in yourself and god, and live each day as it would be your last.

People come and people go, they will drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you have finally closed the cover the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures.
