Thoughts let loose.....

Soothing music plays in my head phones.....its about an hour to dawn. I am at another threshold in my life.....

People,places,events,grad school,wedlock......every term....every exam....every deadline....every day,every love,every cheer,every tear,every feat,every defeat....every challenge.Life definitely comes in chapters. So new....so beautiful, so enigmatic....so annoying. I wish I could hold on to it like the morning dew in the sockets of my palms...

Am caught between ideas, ideologies,present,past and future.....sometimes it gets very tiring. Dreams run beneath my eyes close en open, and every other second reality bites in....its not so simple.

Living is a search till you find yourself, you find happiness. Where does happiness lie then? In the means or the end?

The happiness is in your thoughts, how u look at a glass (as half empty or half full). As the saying goes --

"Nothing positive comes by thinking negative, and nothing negative comes by thinking positive".

Cheers,

happens all the time when u intensely pursue something for a long time....ur mind may need a break, so peace out!!

i think happiness would lie in seeing the pattern reveal itself ..showing you the bigger picture .. and then u see the correctness of all your actions, feats, defeats, challenges, rights and wrongs..
and thats when you compare them to a single thread that by itself does not make sense but as a part of a fabric..reveals a design.. so keep the bigger picture in mind

when life is a day at the beach
watching waves rise and fall
waiting for the perfect one
To surf, to rise, to stand tall

Reading the ocean page by page
if come not the wave so desired
Not today, tomorrow then
I watch, wait and relax

Child Woman said...

@msp

I must say that was a WOW!

Prashanth(MSP) said...

@Vidyaangi: Thanks. :)

So now where do you think happiness lies?

Surfing or relaxing? If the choice is to be happy, then does it matter?

Child Woman said...

@msp...

happiness lies within!

a lot of us seem to be asking the same question... and i think a lot of times when we let our thoughts get bogged down by what we call 'convention', 'demands', 'work', 'limitations', we loose touch with happiness.

as far as i can understand, it lies in the means and not the ends. like someone said, joy is journey, and not the destination.

Your life is possibly someone else's dream biting reality. And recently, you have already met the person who is living your dream. So that's two dreams in one real life lady. Enjoy it when you are awake!
