Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life!

That's my fortune for the day in orkut!

I don't know who pens these down or creates the randomizer that displays them but somehow these messages have a way of reaching the core of my being and pulling out a
"is really this true" or even "how did they know!"!!

Most times, we tend to ignore, un-hear, un-read all things to do with fate or destiny. Afterall, its best to leave it to the big boss sitting up there;-) Janke kya mil jayega..

But once in a while, in a very rare while, there is is niggling, irritating, and recurring feeling that something is amiss and we seek answers. We lap up anything, any insight, any perspective, any gyan, any advice, any opportunity that comes our way. We feel scared, vulnerable and unable to think for ourselves - we just want to be told...

Is it a reality check we seek, is it genuine respect for the other person's opinion or is it a deep fear inside somewhere that we may not, do not always know the answers..

Its called being human!:-)

Today, this message gave me the "aha" moment I had been seeking - end of the day, our time here is limited. And that is the biggest perspective of all. Nothing you do is permanent, no good or bad is permanent. It shall all pass, it shall all be, it is never too late and it may be limited but it is yet not over!

End note - "Today I went for a walk in the forest, the deep dark dense foilage interuppted only by the quiet mumble of a stream flowing nearby and the hesitant hello of a bird somewhere. Maybe a hi wont hurt, maybe a smile will make the frog's day and maybe a little bit of humaneness is all that the world seeks from us..." - Just the 1st few lines I penned for a WIP piece of "perspective":-)
