There comes a time in your life, when you need to sit back, reevaluate where you had started for, where you are headed for; what you had intended to do and what you are doing. Life has a way of carrying one along, on its ebb and flow, making you a more or less a spectator on the sidelines of what should have been your show.

Instead of it being your life, it has become so much more..  a complex algorithm - situations compounded and often beyond your control..... you are part of so many lives, touched by so many others, who participate in the 'give & take', which is often more of take and less of give.

Your life suddenly is not just yours, it has become a chore, with getting up at the buzz of the alarm by the bedside to the mundane occurrences throughout the day to the wrapping up of the day.In the daily grind you did not realise as to when did you allow yourself to become a mere puppet of the daily grind.


The time to reevaluate gives you the leisure to see what went wrong where and how, it is an opportunity which is given rarely and should be exploited to the max. Use it wisely to sieve the husk from the wheat, bad from the good, merited from unmerited burdens; sit and cry for what you have lost - what could have been yours, but never will be, cry you heart out and then get up - dust yourself and move on.

Don't let the time be the one ruling your life, take control of your desires, aspirations. These are what define who you are and what you will be. Often in our lives we let the circumstances decide and define us.

Every day when you get up make it worth your while, do something at least once in a day which makes sense only to you, which is something you cherish, something which brings a smile to your face.
