Love Your Loved Ones Now !!!!!

Before writing on this, I would like to thank my very special friend living in some other part of the world from whom I draw the latent inspiration to write this.Thank you "Flower". (As the name means).

The line above on the first read may look trivial and banal.However,I would wish we ponder on this for a few seconds freeing our mind from other stuff.
We get so boggled up and embroiled in our daily lives that we miss even small but important moments with our near and dear ones.In the run of setting targets and striving to achieve them,we forget even displaying our affection towards the most important people in our lives.We do this all our lives only to repent when we lose them and that is when the cover of false world disappears from our eyes and we face reality.At that point in time,we realise what we missed and the moments which we could have cherished but couldn't do so due to our other so called "commitments".The illusion that life is all pervading and lasting is shackled and then only thing we can do is only repent and long for the people we have lost.
This reality touched the grounds of my conscious when I was talking to this very special friend of mine and I thought this very important message needs to be understood and propagated.Let us show our love for our loved ones Now.Let us do what makes them happy Now rather than crying over spilt milk.Let us show our affection towards them Now.Let us make them feel special to us Now.Even a gesture of a hug or a peck on the cheek is sufficient to make them feel special sometimes.But show that.
Let us do things Now so that we dont say "I could have", "Had I", "I should Have" when our loved ones continue their journey to a different world.
This life is ephemeral.Time is limited.Show your love now.Show your care now.Love your Loved Ones Now............

--- Positive Frustration ---

Flumoxed!Confused!Well, yes those words are paradoxical in nature.One would think,"How can frustration be ever positive?"
Lets dig deeper into the meaning of those words.Let me start with an example.One of my friends the other day I met told me that he was highly frustrated with the mundane job that he was doing.As such, I was sympathetic with him which is pretty natural.On the contrary, he smiled.I was puzzled by his satirical smile.On asking him for his unexpected smile,he told me,"It makes me more stronger".Again confused,I asked him,"And how is that?".He replied back again with an explanatory smile saying that it is this Frustration that makes him strive for the world, he envisions and makes him stronger to pursue his dreams and desire.He further added,"Each Day, as it passes instills in me an attraction for what I love doing and what I aspire to do.One Day, this frustration will grow to an extent which will make me chase my dreams and quit what am doing."After hearing him,I too gave a supportive smile.I was really amazed at his Positive attitude and way of taking things in life.I dont know how much successful, he will be in his endeavours and I pray for his success but one thing for sure he has taught me -"Positive Frustration".Dislike for a certain thing, makes us so very strong that we trod the Untrodden, the path less trodden.The Path of Chasing Your Dreams.Its our perspective of taking things and decorating them.Its we,who can take positive out of them or keep cursing things doing nothing.It is we who can Make or Break our life because of several situations in life.

Life treats us with several challenges at different phases in life.But it is we who can take up the challenge in a positive manner and make the most out of it. Make the best of any adverse situation.If we are able to do so , then can we call ourselves living LIFE.Giving into circumstances and taking irresponsible steps, is no solution to any problem.Ostrich's Algorithm doesnt work.The only answer to it is facing the Problem with our Head held high.Thats what differentiates us from the Ordinary.I thank my friend for his Pearls of Wisdom and wish him all the Success.
