Introspection … could be injurious to health

March 1, 2006

Its not what you were … rather what you would wanna be that should govern the way you live your life.
Or is it ??

Is the way you live your life a cue to what you plan for your future, or is it a shadow of your past. In most likelyhood, I feel the latter would hold true.

If you could control your past, it could prove to be pivotal to how your future shapes up. But if you’re getting what I’m trying to say, it is very much not the case. You truly can’t control your past. As straightforward as it may sound, it does hold a key logic to it. How you plan your future is not as simple as assessing your needs and making plans. It invariably bears a stamp of your past. You have a future, which is yet to come. You can plan it. But once it becomes your past. You can’t change it. Never. Nothing can change it.

Live your present knowing that it will be your past very soon. Nothing can change it once its gone. Dont be afraid of your future. Be very afraid of what you make your past. When you leave this world, you wont have any future. All you would have right then, would be your past. All you leave behind is your past. Live to the max. Live a good life. Live a life. Live.

Live with the ones you care for. Live with the ones who care about you. Live for yourself. Live to help others live. Live to succeed. Live to love. Live to give. Live to make memories. Dream like you got a hundred years to live. True. But live today as if its the last day you’ll ever live.

p.s. its 12:07am, I’m sleepin at Sarthak’s place, there’s an “unfinished” bottle of Finlandia in his bar. This is a disclaimer.

    Couldn’t help noticing that the word “cue” seems to spring up everywhere.

    Employee faithfulness, eh?

    I ve been reading Gibran, seems to help.

    Would all this make more sense thereafter ??

    when u think of the past too much (which u have to a certain extent in here) then what happens is that you seemingly or unseemingly let the past grow on you which is the biggest crime anyone can commit,good you decieded to make a good past …….all the best……..
    by the way………tis is diifferent than what u write usually……………nice

    @ harpriya: damn !!! you missed the point altogether ….
    its not about thinking about your past … its about living your present …

    Introspection, is it going deeper into yourself or into time?

  • dj navv 11:58 am March 2, 2006

    @manveer: introspection is not the point here … :P

  • Aman 2:02 pm March 2, 2006

    Khalil Gibran is someone who makes you
    a) have an opinion
    b) question it

    So its helpin, to an extent

    hi…
    Content is worth… if one ‘Understands’ and ‘Implements’ in Life…

    Whatever the past maybe… Let it ‘not Affect’ the ‘Present’… which will never hamper ur Future…

    LIVE UR PRESENT MOMENT TO THE FULLEST…

  • dj navv 3:38 pm March 10, 2006

  • vrinn → 5:19 pm March 29, 2006
