Which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn..??

Life is all about knowing which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.

In the realm of life’s sojourn where we learn life's lessons - big or small, we either let our wisdom and experience take the decision or leave it to serendipity. The problem is that what we consider major could actually be temporary situations on which we mostly end up taking firm final decisions, when we should not and tend to ignore the ones that actually seek our complete attention. Eventually, both matter in deciding the further course of our life's journey. While we win some, we lose some. The real challenge lies in knowing when to fight and when to walk away. It calls for a realm filled with rationalization, logic and practicality with no room for emotions to decide which are the one's, one needs to fight for and which are the one's you've to let go.

We all have our pasts that has left an imprint on us and we hang on to it. Releasing the past is essential and one of the most daunting task which doesn't come easy. We must "Move on" for that's the mantra of life. At the same time, letting go off past that we've clung onto so long doesn't come in that easy on self. For this you who got to be strong enough mentally to take a firm decision on it - learn the lessons from the past and ignore the rest for you're not looking that way again, if you want to surge ahead. At this very juncture, you got to decide the hardest decision of your life on "which bridge to cross and which to burn.” If you do not take a stance at this level, you tend to stay rooted to ground zero which ends up being detrimental.

Do introspect at length and weigh all aspects of your realm before you make the final choice. Once you've sought the answers to all your questions; do not halt. ACT and deal with the situation: Burn the bridge; Cross the bridge or create and take a new path altogether. The choice is all yours. At the same time, do not hold on for so long that you miss out on all the many doors that opened for you while you were busy thinking..!!

Life is full of contrariness and tautness that exacts all your will and strength to make you who you're. When you're in the midst of a storm and the wind doesn't blow your way; you need to adjust your sails, change direction and continue with your journey. That's Life..!!

So… What bridges in your life are the ones you want to burn n' which bridges do you have to build and cross, eh..?! Ask yourself..!!

Footprints in the sands of time

My mind wants to interpret the dreams that are mine; I want to fulfill these dreams that are mine..!! I am a dreamy eyed girl who set foot on my journey after my education, almost 2 decades back to create a mark of her own. My own signature identity as I call it..!! At the onset of the journey, I was surprised initially to discover, how little I knew of my strengths n' weaknesses and of the different facets of life, how much unknown I was to what I wanted to do with my life, how clueless I was about my destination and which road to take, I did not know whether what I was seeing was a reflection or a mirage; all I knew was that I had the had to move on and I had the unwavering will in my stride to create an identity for me. Initially, I accepted things at their face value and treated them as gospel only to face the consequences at a later stage. En route the journey, I learnt to value reality checks and dared to be real in a world of pretence. I accepted life in its tru...

Lost in translating Life..!!

Oh! How I wish I could backtrack my steps before moving forward any more. Maybe not so much retrace, either, as relive but to set straight certain matters which I should have way back then. What if life could be controlled by a remote, then no understanding would have been required at all; it would just be a series of clicks ..?! As a realist, I know that I cannot backtrack for the rules of nature are not as such but I can certainly pause  the "NOW" to surmise and comprehend the situation that I have in hand for I'm feeling lost in the translation of understanding the dynamics of life (a journey, I embarked upon couple of years back). The realm of life is such a vast expanse that even the timeline of a lifetime seems hell short of coping up with the pace of time to make sense of the reality of reality. Come what may we can only learn life backwards and live it forwards. There are no rooms for making repetitive mistakes; either learn from the first time you erred o...

Ever felt like a stranger in your own life?

I crossed the great ocean and yet, I halted so close to the shore when I found myself alone stripped off all will n' deplete of any energy to take me to the other side. I am not the only person who has reached such crossroads in life n' found myself at vain. A peek around tells me there are many like me. It is not that one fine day, I had lightening strike me out of the blue that made me realize that I am a stranger in my own life. I have felt so many-a-times n' till date it continues to harrow n' browbeat the winds out of me each time I go through it. It is more like a reality check crisis where I find me questioning myself on: Who am I? What am I doing? How on earth did I land myself here? Where did my life go by? What is the way ahead? Suddenly, my life seems surreal and I find myself as an observer who is observing my own life in reels. Such incidents come and go but they blur me out while they last. It is in such moments that I find it difficult t...
