4. Time & Money.

These are the 2 most vital aspects of life. Besides, they are inversely proportional. I mean, if I spend time you can earn money and if I spend money, I can earn some “quality” time. Once again my favorite statement: “Exceptions are always there” J

Lets focus on the term VITAL. Most of the folks (including me) do run for MONEY (vital #1) almost throughout the life. Whilst running, what they spend is TIME (vital #2). Ultimately, life comes to a period (full-stop). Did I really run for Money throughout? Or Did Money make me run after it?

So, where was LIFE? Just in the running mode?
An irony of the situation is such that I kept on running after one of the most crucial aspect and spend another important aspect in running and was searching for LIFE.

3. Celebrate.

I believe, one can always celebrate the following

Money
Food
Friends
Love
Conversations
Happiness
Thoughts
Feelings
Competition
Arguments (maybe!!)
Quarrels (crazy??)
Grief (huh!!)
Sorrow (weirdo!!)
Life (does it not include all the above??)
Existence (now, what is this?)
Being (does it not sound wacky?)
Add some more points.. (now thats what can be celebrated as well :) )

2. Responsible.

I am sole responsible for everything (literally, everything) that happens in life.

I feel this is what I should believe. I am sure I don’t implement this 100%. This directly means that I don’t believe in this statement. Still, I have an inner feeling that one day I will start believing this and hence, implement it 100%.

Why do I feel that it is worth implementing that I am sole responsible for everything?

I have experienced that me taking responsibility makes me feel more relaxed. Sounds pretty weird, though. The argument is when it’s not my mistake then what is the point in taking the responsibility? In a verbal argument with some one, what will I do if I feel that it’s not my mistake? Probably, I will start blaming him and shall raise my voice. If I carry a diplomatic attitude, then probably, I will softly do the same.

In any case, most of the times, I will end up getting frustrated as things don’t turn up as anticipated.

Solution? Nothing. Just staying sad until the thoughts (related to arguments) stop popping up.

Had it been a case, where I had taken the responsibility. Probably, the other person would have not got too wild. If at all, he would have cooled off in few minutes. Certainly, he would have also faced the similar consequences (with himself) as written above.

What would have happened once he had calmed down? There would have been a discussion working around the solution to the happening. He would probably also realize that there was some responsibility to be taken by him as well (may be just out of his guilt of getting wild or may be in real sense).

If nothing, then too it doesn’t matter as you (anyways) have already taken the responsibility. Thereafter, the choice is yours. :)

1. Countdown.

The countdown has already begun since my birth. It’s the countdown of the number of heartbeats, the number of breaths and the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years I am gonna survive.

If everything is countdown towards death, then what is the point in counting up the following stuff (throughout the life time)?

1. Number of complications. Don’t they increase as I grow up?
2. Number of enemies. I guess they do increase as well. “Enemy” sounds very rude, but those who interfere in my life, they are equivalent to enemies. Aren’t they?
3. Numbers appearing in our bank account. Now, I don’t mean that I should go down to zero and start increasing the numbers on negative side.

I would appreciate if you can add up some more points and increase the number of counts :)
