You’re like ‘Really?? No Way..Mann!!’
I recently read in a novel, what a story book is – It is a transforming experience between the book and the reader. As the reader reads the story, he changes the words by perceiving them based on his thoughts, his context, his life situations. As the reader reads, the words also change him, his thoughts, his perceptions. Together they transform each other.
Life is just like that. You are right now, an amalgamation of all what you have lived so far – fusing all the places you have been to, all what you have seen, people you have met on the way, things that you did, things that happened to you. As Life shapes you, so do you shape Life. But the trick is, not to fast forward your Life, the experiences you are going through, based on what you think ‘should’ happen. Let the magic unfold! Feel it..Because otherwise you’ll keep rewinding and repeating the same chapter again and again, and expect a different end, but all you will see is the same end…missing out on the new wonders to happen, missing surprises that Life has to reveal. You will stop enriching, and growing your own story.
But like they say, it’s never too late, It's morning, when you wake up! Even now, if you look back at your Life, you’ll be surprised to uncover things you overlooked, or maybe unfold a different facet.
You can try experimenting this by picking up a book you’ve read in the past, maybe a few years ago, and re-read it. This time write down what you feel, your thoughts, some place where you can access it after a few years. After some time (maybe months, years) from then, do the same thing and compare your writings…They would have evolved. You will have evolved. You will see The Magic Unfold !
Life is just like that - Right now you can base your thoughts, words, actions on what you have experienced so far. But remember there are many more dimensions to Life, than what we perceive. So don't think much, Just Do and then BE FREE. Let Life reveal the results. If they are different from what you expected them to be, you have just enriched your life. Accept them as a Gift, and believe that the gift will come handy in the future.
