A life of no guarantees!

The present is of great value, for it is what leads to the future! And yet....the future is as unpredictable as it ever was inspite of our best efforts to control it with our actions in the present.
Does that mean we stop trying??....no!

It just means we have to change what we can and accept what we cant change - try to control what we can (more importantly while we can) and accept that some things , no matter how hard we try are out of our field of control.

Acceptance of a fact makes it easier to live with it. Its like jumping into a pool of water. At first the water feels very cold and we avoid jumping thinking of the effect it would have on our bodies. But once we jump into the water, we realise it isnt that bad and we feel more comfortable jumping in subsequently.

Life is like a pool of cold water. Jump in and get used to it!

After all what are you going to take with you when you die? Live, experience, and love. At least you will never regret not having jumped in for a swim.

It is important for mortals like ourselves to somewhat experience the unpredictability of life, if only to drive home the understanding of the transient nature and futility of amassing all that we hope to amass, and at the same time render the ability to enjoy what it has to offer to us without associating those gifts with ourselves. Once the understanding is complete, we realise there is nothing more we want than Love alone, and then only does the Pursuit truly begin.


Ahhh Freedom...thou art in the mind alone! No wordly shackles can hide thee!
