You don’t seem to get a hang of what is happening to your
life till you go through it considerably, rewind it, and see it with a fresh
perspective. Alas, sometimes, such rewinds don’t happen always, and often, it
happens at the twilight zone of our lives.
As some wise people say – we see our lives flash before our
eyes like a movie, finally helping us make sense of it, just before we are
about to die. I say, how does that help? If we see what it really meant to be
born at the moment we are about to die, how would we be able to correct our
mistakes or do any course-correction – the time for that is long past.
The only alternative, therefore, we have, is to take a stock
of our lives from time to time. Take a break, reflect upon what is going on in
your life, what have you achieved so far, where would you want to go from here,
did you make any mistakes along the way, is there any way out that you can
rectify them – questions such as these will help you understand your life path
periodically, rather than seeing it at one go at a time when it would be too
late to do anything.
In our fast-paced life, we are all running, to achieve our
goals, careers, ambition, luxuries, but do we think of ourselves, our integral
self, and the soul within? Seldom, do we take into consideration what would
everything that we are doing would result into. We just keep at the race,
fighting to keep us competitive, ahead of the others.
Stop today, stop now. See where you are going, take a stock
of your life so far and if need be, start afresh.
