When you hear the
words "Inner Peace" your mind takes you to the amazingly detailed
animation of Kung Fu Panda 2 where Master Shifu's soothing voice (played by
Dustin Hoffman) just makes the movie double awesome. Its funny how we know so
much, hear so much, understand so much yet can't really implement much. When I
first read the Monk
who sold his Ferrari I felt Robin Sharma isn't really telling anything we
don't know already .. Seems like another self help types book.. but it took
time to realize that he never meant to tell anything new… he merely wanted one
to see what they are missing even after knowing… irony I sense?
Every time I look
back in life, some how, I always end up thinking about things that could have
been.. Not really looking at the fact what right now is… hmmm a little complex
is it :-) .. Well actually with time as I grew up (and not just in size) I started longing for peace more than
happiness though both are synonymous but not always equal.
Moments are
cluttered all over the time like little pieces of magic mushrooms (yup
Amsterdam is the place to get them :-) ) if you manage to pick one up.. You get
high on that moment of life and probably treasure it in a trunk at the backyard
of your mansion of memory but just like the magic mushrooms give you an awesome
time but are still banned or illegal , the moments in life could be
extraordinary but not really correct in perceptive of many or sometimes your
own conscience… that’s the moment of fire chasm crossing.
We all know the
rights and wrongs and morals of the world but it never guarantees life as you
would like it and these pieces of moments are gone in like in a blink of an
eye… peace and pieces both gone and m not someone who want to let them go… they
always say its really hard to walk on a path alone.. Indeed it is.. But I want myself to do what
the heart desire and not what the world has to conspire" .
I cherish little
moments.. I treasure them.. I value them… where they right or wrong is
something purely personal and none but me has the right to decide the
acceptance of it.
I do not care about
how others or the world would perceive it.. Its too much of a burden to let
yourself be driven by that thought … they ain't the ones living the happiness
you treasure they ain't the one living the hard time… they are just spectators
… let them applaud .. Let them curse… but let the show go on the way you want…
just make sure you don't regret anything.. That’s the only thing that can bring
you down.
You would never know
which pieces of moments will leave you with peace and which wont but my friends
its in all sense worth trying … getting what is not a sin but regretting it
is!!
This isn't a
motivational write up.. Nor is it a way to justify anything… its purely a
stroke of my fingers on the keyboard driven by little nerves chained in the
skull trying hard to escape the bounds that do not exist in reality but are
made to believe …
It wasn't the wind…
it wasn't the storm… wasn't even the tide,
It was .. Will and
always be my will to make life a crazy ride!!
