“Spent twenty wonderful years for a two page resume.” I read this somewhere the other day. Is this what we are doing in our lives? Is doing a 9 to 5 job just what left in our life? All the education that we have received, or are receiving, cannot be so worthless. Our existence must be having some or the other motive . Or at least some driving force, that wants us to do something irregular. Something way out of the league. Maybe something apart from our routines.
So let us pick just an hour- everyday from our lives; and spend it doing what we love. Something not for others. But for our own self. For making us happier. Be it anything- something that keeps you fit or something that yields positivity; maybe in you- maybe in someone wanting to be like you. In tomorrow’s world, when you will be old and wrinkled and too tired to move, you will cherish these moments. Moments that taught you what following your passion meant. Moments that helped you in overcoming something blue- maybe your depression or maybe your stress levels. Very few are those people who have time for themselves. Let us look at our own routines- what do we do apart from moving our asses from one place to another? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It is so weird that we talk about giving and receiving, but do nothing for us so that we are able to give more. More than we think we can give.
It is so true that only if we love ourselves, we are able to love others. And this love comes from nowhere but from giving ourselves sometime. If we are happy, people that surround us get happier. You cannot and you should not- take an ocean of sufferings within you. It just cripples your heart more and more like a giant pigeon (I just quoted Phoebe Buffay). Stand up. Share your pains, your sorrows. Let others do the same. Do something that energizes you for the next twenty four hours. So, let us take a moment from our busy lives, and do what it makes to follow our passion. And remember- it can be anything. Anything that is not psychotic, makes you happy and inspires people around you. 🙂

Amazing ideas Ms. Tanaya. Your blog surely made me introspect and look through my daily routine to find if I am doing anything that I really love. While we are driving on Highway of Life, faster everyday, with endless fuel of ambitions and accelaration of desires but many of us lacks the steering of passion. Passion for what we love, passion for what we actually value. As you rightly mentioned, how often we pull over to stop by the Highway to enjoy a sip of tea of complacency and have a good time with ourselves.
Very insightful blog Tanaya. Congratulations and keep writing.

Very matured thoughts.If i can spare one hour in a day to do what i like to do from bottom of my heart and which gives me immense and pure pleasure, soon i would find that i am trying to extend that time day by day. If i am not able to do it beyond a specific period then i would mould each and evry work in such a manner which gives me same pure joy and pleasure. If i have tasted the nector of pure happiness , i just cant live without it. U have DISCOVERED one of the basic principles of happy life. congratulations!
