Lear easy sailing through life

#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Life is crests & troughs it is never a smooth highway. There will always be ups and downs and that's how it should be. Imagine driving on a smooth well built highway, how soon will you get bored ? life is like that if there are no ups and downs no bumps on the road where you will get a bit excited to do something different than you have always done then what is the fun in that. we cant even eat the same food for a month day in and day out, how would we eat it our entire life.
Now by smooth sailing if you mean a life where you are free to do anything you want and you are not able to do those things because you have responsibilities and you have to earn money first you need to change so that you can take care of responsibilities and then you can look at your desires if any life is left then you are already walking on the wrong track and you need to change directions. Because whatever you do and if it brings value to others they will buy that product or service that you provide from you and money will come and you can take care of you responsibilities, it might take time, you might have to delay getting married or have children but eventually it will happen but this time you will be happy and satisfied.
So imagine the end of your ideal life that you want to live and work back from there to this moment what all you did to achieve that life and do it. you can also imagine the house that you are living in at the end of your life, who is with you wife, children, grandchildren etc, look at all the achievements you accomplished and how you achieved them and work from there. You can also imagine that you have a time machine and you travel into your future to your future self and let him tell you what all he achieved and how. I hope this will help you in achieving your ideal life.
We never realise what smooth life means unless we face some hurdles in life. it is only after the encounter of certain situations we realise how peacefully we were living. But ,the fact is there is no pleasure in just going on without any challenges. Challenges make us get up every morning with a new zeal. If life would have been monotonous ,then what the fun!! And last but not the least, it is always said that God put only his favourites in difficult situations and tests our faith and trust in Him. So, no matter what the circumstances are, always be a fighter and never give up!! Never compare yourself and your life with others.
?I feel eternally grateful for the life I have been given and for the life that lies ahead that I will create out of my hard work, my efforts and of my loved ones and God's blessings. There lies so much possibility in this uncertainty. This infinite possibility excites me. How tremendously exhilarating and a little nerve wracking it is to know that you absolutely don't know anything. I mean 10 years from now you could be just anywhere doing anything you had now idea you would.
Maybe you had an unconventional business idea and decided to just go for it, maybe you changed your job, maybe you shifted to a new city, maybe you took on a new course or learned a new musical instrument, maybe you found the love of your life or had children, or maybe the aliens from Mars invaded the Earth(although I hope not, it is we who should invade Mars). Not that everything is buttery smooth right now. It never is, right? I have my share of problems and struggles.
There are days where I can push myself, work productively, feel and radiate positivity. But then some days getting out of bed is itself a task. At times like these I miserably fail at putting my mind to just anything and getting result out of it. But a few of such days don't deter what I feel about life in any way. So as of now, I look forward to everything life brings. I look forward to getting where I want to, achieve what I want and build a life that I have in my head taking one day at a time.
It's tough to do whatever I desire to do for myself. To accomplish my goal, because when it appears to “me” no one else there is interested because this is something that I want for myself. Suffering alone and battling alone. But yes I will never cease, I will never give up on my goal any concern how hard time I am/will face. One day I will rise after thousands fall, this is what never permit me to end.
Just when I thought that I need to analyze what I feel about my current life, this question popped up on the first number on my feed. Honestly, today I have a bitter-sweet feeling of uncertainty and hope. Uncertain that will I able to achieve what I want to and hopeful that in the end, everything will be positive and worth it. But here is a very interesting theory in a novel I read recently - I really don't know whether you agree with this theory Or not but I do 100%. We all just use the future to escape the present whether we agree or not. And I think this is because we all are heroes of our lives and we all already won our battles of our future in our minds. And there is nothing bad in it as it keeps us going further and further.
Everyday is a new struggle, a new problem, a new chaos… But this is what life is. Thrill is what makes it liveable and interesting and worth it as very rightly said by my best friend. She has a very different perspective towards how to deal with things in life which I admire the most about her. So yesterday I was afraid and confused, today I am afraid, confused, uncertain and hopeful and tomorrow I want to be afraid, confused, uncertain, hopeful and happy! Because life will always be hard and that's the beauty of it. It will never become easier, you will gradually become stronger to deal with it. Cheers!
