Start of 2021
It’s been so long since I have written. I remember the last blog-the one about theories in HR which I started and was about to complete it but then left it halfway…is still demanding to get completed.
My words seem to elude me and the thoughts seem so scattered to be jot down on paper. Isn’t this the spirit of Holidays when the weather is chilly and everyone is happy yet something feels missing? When the roads filled with harmless chatter and hearts with warmth & love, when the hope starts building up for the new and upcoming year, even if everything is still the same?
The time of the year to ponder upon the meaning of existence, the role and choices that we have made and the glittery love of everything hopeful surround us, even if we are still lost in the inception of being in a dream or reality, anyway.
Who knows what 2021 holds for us, even if we have already started making plans and lists, who knows whether the resolutions will work or will be again disguise ourselves in hope of finally changing something?
Sometimes I wonder, is this enough? Is the reality that we are going through is enough to make ourselves feel like we have lived? What does living feel like? Does exploring the world, being outdoors, doing something for others, solving a problem or just being plain selfish with our own desires, makes it more fulfilling?
Wait, I’ll start again.
These above paragraphs seem too depressing like it feels like…I am again stuck in a loop of self-pity and lack of something. There’s a saying, “the more you focus on something, the more of that you feel…so change your thoughts to change how you feel”.
The year 2020 was a roller-coaster ride, full of ups & down. There were days when nothing seems to be going my way and there were days that even with everyone’s cynical energy, I felt like nothing is as bad as they say. Life has a weird way of surprising you when you are out of options and to have that kind of blessing/miracle and it always cheers me up, no matter how bad is the day.
There were so many things to be grateful for in 2020 that one might forget that life is wonderful no matter how it is turning out to be. The future is filled with uncertainties and so many unknown variables, that finding the value of x is not that important anymore. It’s important to leave the past behind and look at the future with hopeful eyes and determined vision.
All the repressive thoughts about yourself, all the pressure that’s being put on you,
The kindness that was never bestowed and the longing for something that is still due…
May with the upcoming year you find what’s already yours yet you cannot see,
Therefore, be patient with the timing of the universe and
You can find life so fulfilling, the way it is supposed to be.
Imagine a world filled with only happy people, laughing and celebrating each day like it’s something amazing. Now, imagine one day a sad person comes in and sees all the cheer. That person would be annoyed at the sight as their heart is still not open to accepting the new experience. Now, think of how that will proceed, does one sad person has the power to take on the tribe of happy people or do happy people have the power to open the heart of sad person?
The answer is simple and lies in whosoever is willing to partake in the give and take as even a sad person has a lot to share and a happy person has a lot to learn.
Be open to the differences of others and be receptive to sensitive people, as they feel and get hurt easily even if you didn’t had the wrong intentions.
This 2021, make a vow to yourself to make a change-either in yourself or in the society, as the world still needs to get better and there are a lot of grey areas that needs to work upon…so buckle up and get set going and welcome the new year that is about to be born again.
Happy 2021!
Good luck and do well! #Bekind
