Birthday Musings....:)

Another page has turned. And another chapter waits to begin...

It has been a fantastic run until now. And as i move ahead, i hope the good gets better and the not-so-good moves out!

And what better way to ring in my New Year, than to introspect on my life's lessons, as i know them as of now.

So, the following is what i know. And it is a pleasure to share it with you all.

1. Life is a gift. Enjoy it!

2. Read as many varieties of books as you can. It saves the mind from turning dormant.

3. Pray. Deeply. It has enormous power.

4. Wear your heart on your sleeve. No one can hurt it except you.

5. Throw pettiness out. And slam the door on it.

6. Chocolate can clear the mind enough to hunt for the right solutions.

7. Stick to the right people. Influence is a potent force.

8. Love people for what they are, rather than your idea of what they should be.

9. Save well. A crisis doesn't ask permission before coming.

10. Spend well too. Misers don't make millionaires.

11. Use humour to amuse. Not abuse.

12. Life isin't only about entertainment. Achievements need effort, concentration and sometimes, compromises.

13. Nothing hurts more than fear. It makes the worse happen.

14. Nothing heals better than an honest conversation.

15. Take calculated risks. Don't try and bungee jump, if you can't handle a giant wheel ride.

16. Music is food for the soul. Feed it regularly and feed it well.

17. Scratch your surface and unleash your creativity. Everyone is a design of the great Creation.

18. Make birthdays as grand as you possibly can. For yourself and for others.

19.Spend a lot of time around small children. They are proof that we were meant to be innocent.

20. Don't chase attention. Let it follow you.

21. Faith is a personal matter. Respect another's, even if you don't agree with it.

22. Your family can be your friends as much as your friends can be your family.

23. Feeding others can satisfy hunger far better than any  gourmet meal.

24. Age is just a number. Period.

25. Appreciate. As much as you can. But only as much as is necessary.

26. Apologise. As early as you can. But only as much as is necessary.

27. Turn to Spirituality and grow within it.

28. Call for a Guru. It keeps the difference between following a guiding light and stumbling in the darkness.

29. Gratitude is a protective shield. Always carry it along.

Life is a party. And i intend to live it up by the minute!

But the madness needs a method and so a big thank you to everyone who has helped me realise these pearls of wisdom.

Today was the best it could be. As for the rest, a modest, 'Whatever will be, will be...'!!!
