Stay

I’ve always been a closet control freak. Closet, because I’ve only recently realized that this need to control has cost me, my peace of mind, in the past. But lately, I’ve adopted this more relaxed attitude to life. It was always about getting a degree or two, and then a job. But I’ve realised that I would put this unnecessary pressure on myself to have everything sorted – always. And sometimes, this is just not possible. No matter how hard you plan and prep; sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you’re left completely distraught. So, what happens then? Doesn’t it always work out in the end? So it’s okay to put your feet up for a while, take that well deserved break, and go with the flow. Don’t be afraid of new beginnings. The tide will always take you to the places you were meant to see and to the people that were meant to stay.

    Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it? I do not believe it can be done.

    Everything under heaven is a sacred vessel and cannot be controlled. Trying to control leads to ruin. Trying to grasp, we lose.

    Allow your life to unfold naturally. Know that it too is a vessel of perfection. Just as you breathe in and breathe out, there is a time for being ahead and a time for being behind; a time for being in motion and a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous and a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe and a time for being in danger.

    To the sage all of life is a movement toward perfection, so what need has he for the excessive, the extravagant, or the extreme? – Lao Tzu

    Every human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities.
    we are all mere particles in the cosmos drifting towards something. Alone at first and then collectively. But the particles that meant to stay will always find a way no matter how much we brush them aside. It’s contrary to Aesop’s fable. No matter how hard the wind blew the Traveller clutched his blanket harder. It was a crisp sunshine that made him let go of it. Some particles never let go.

      What is meant to stay will stay, what’s meant to stray will stray… Acknowledge that, most people and things, stay long enough to teach us what we were meant to learn.
