So no one told that life was gonna be this way ( clap clap clap ) !!!

Sabitha,
I agree with you on your views 100%
I wanted to become a doctor when I was school kid (I think the patients were lucky, is it not :biglaugh)
After college years, call came me to become a kindergarten teacher from my old school, but I refused...(the reason..I don't remember now):bonk

Very well said.

True, absolutely true.
I just selected these quotes, which caught my attention among others, which are equally :thumbsup.
I thought you are going to write about your trip to Kenya, after looking at the title :biggrin2:
As always superb post.

Dear Sabita,

Wonderful post.Yes, what we dream about as kids, being pilots and engineers for boys, being airhostess and actresses for girls, but we forgoet them and life takes a different turn.

And good that u are enjoying where u are now and what u are, instead of what u could have become.Crossroads come fro many.

do u know Azimji Premji, was studying in Stanford, when his fatehr died, and he had to come down to take care of the business.they were small timers, and today he is one of the richest man in the world.He too must have dreamt of something, but that is how life is really at times.

I guess everything happens for the best.God gives us what we deserve, not necessarily what we desire.what say ?

Regards

My dearest Sabi,
very well written something that i learnt from you or rather we share it is that what you thought you expressed it like a lot of things we talked about on your last day in here you were actually talking what was in my mind and i could not express myself but you spoke word to wordwhat was in my mind we were thinking the same things, what you have written "WHAT IF" is the same thing i used to think and the below i have been through it and can write a book about it and today i feel you have spoken what is in my heart

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL INDEED it upto us on how we make the choices and we haveto live by it we cannot blame anyone but ourselves for the choices we have made. We tend to hold on to the past and not come out of it, some do coe out of it after a period of time.We as individuals have a lot of egos and sometimes we do not want to say SORRY AND CALL IT TRUCE we want to hold on and in this process we suffer. Life is not complicated we make it complicated.

LOVE is a beautiful thing, love everyone unconditionally and do not have expectations, by doing this life will become simple and easy to live.
FAITH everyone has faith in something and sometimes the people we love most betray our trust we loe trust in everything, but hang on there have faith in yourself and believe in yourself, stay positive and everything around us will be positive.
LIFE as i said before life is beautiful,no matter what the situation is always be calm and make the best out the worst situation.
Let go of the past do not hold on to it, move to the future, today is your present live it to the fullest.

You experienced your 6 days with my family and myself you know how we live life and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for the talk we had on your last day and also for writting this post.

sending you lots of love, hugs and kisses
love
alpa:cheers

 

Dear Sabhi,
What a fabulous post !!! ( Shows your losing of teensjust kidding!)
You have shown all different views and dealt with it in a beautiful manner with your mastery over language.
The joy and art of having less while enjoying more of life depend on so many factors.When we open up physical space in our environment, a tremendous feeling of peace can dwell within us. This is the principle behind Japanese style homes. Beauty in small spaces is the appreciation of minimalism, where less truly is more. We need to understand that space is to be enjoyed, not filled.Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world. By cleaning out and simplifying our outer space, our inner space will open up like a flower.Appreciation is the seed for abundance; abundance of the mind and the soul. It’s pretty amazing how little we actually need. When we clear our homes and our lives down to the essentials, we are able to better enjoy that which we do have. Nothing external to us can give us permanent and true happiness. We actually have all we need to be truly happy within us.
The art of having less but enjoying our lives more, involves a few simple changes in perspective. First, we must understand where our true values lie and focus on them. Then, we must take time to enjoy the simple things, and slow down and see what’s right in front of us.
If you want to have more enjoyment in your life, enjoy what you have. It is said that in order to live the life you love, you have to love the life you have. We don’t have to seek beyond ourselves in order to find happiness. No one person has everything they want; but we all have some things worth enjoying. So focus on those things and enjoy them!
BTW, I want to become a business tycoon and fly over all the countries , so many assistants to take my orders !!! But now I am going all around the world virtually ,through IL. I am happy !! What do you say Sabhi ? Sorry for the long one.
with love

My dear sabitha,
Such an interesting article.I just loved reading it .You write so well.


I have mellowed , morphed into someone who sees each fleeting second with awe

So long as we have this ability to feel awe at every small thing that happen before us ,we also retain our youthful spirit and are filled the joy of living

In Sabitha I can see a vivacious,bubbly cheerful person capable of shooing away the blues in others.

May God bless you with sunshine days always.
love

Love,
