Life is all about pedaling!

There are days when you feel like writing, and I believe you should just write on those days. You never know when suddenly you’ve no life left to write. Yeah, my pessimism is scary at times. But am I pessimistic, or realistic? But the fact is you got to move on. I read somewhere life is like riding a bicycle, you have to keep pedaling or you fall down. But the fact in life is that you don’t have the option of not pedaling, you’ve to keep pedaling. Will falling down solve your problems? Oh! Yeah you’re down and out, and have no energy to pedal… fine, you fall down.. but you’ve to get up buddy…for you won’t be able to lie down their forever… while you’re lying down there, a moving vehicle will run over you, then you’ll be taken to the hospital by some well meaning passerby… temporarily, you’re happy… someone is taking care of you, ensuring you have the capacity to fight life… but you forgot he has to pedal his own bicycle…he will leave you soon…and then you’ve to face it again….you got to have the energy to pedal, pedal till there is no more road to pedal! Funny! Now when you’ve no option but pedal, why don’t you pedal well? Why don’t you take up that job and earn that extra money to get yourself a better bicycle, one of those fancy ones which has gears? That should make pedaling easy. And now that you’ve a fancy bicycle, why don’t you run a race? Since all that you got to do in life is pedal, might as well pedal well, and have fun pedaling, pedal like no one pedaled before, pedal with all your energy.

Wow! What an analogy! I know Red River you’re reading this! Tell you what – I’ve millions of thoughts like this which somersault in my cranium. At such moments I feel why didn’t have “superwoman” skills and punch my keyboard to freeze my thoughts at the speed of light before they are lost. They might not do anyone good other than me. But they do me good!

Why didn’t I meet you earlier in life Red River? Everything has a cause in life. I’m one of those believers in a supernatural power having a hand in all that’s falling into place..all parts of a great play written me. No – I don’t call him God… there is something… some big idea…some big conspiracy that we are all a part of.

I read a few days ago in the book of Rhonda Bryne about the “law of attraction”. You get what you think. Quite unlike the other law in physics which states opposites attract. In life, like attracts like. You get what you think, what you want. The more passion you put in what you think, the sooner it realizes. Now the word of caution is the human brain can only process the thought and not the “negations”; which would mean when you keep saying, “I don’t want to be late, I don’t want to be late”, the human mind processes “late,late and more late”, and tunes your system to react in a way which eventually makes you late. On the other hand if you think , “I will be fearless”, the mind processes “fearless, fearless and more fearless”, and tunes your system in a way that it ultimately becomes fearless. And you might have observed that we are very energetic when we tell yourself what we don’t want. And that explains why you keep receiving what we don’t want in life! The more energy you put into your thought, the mnore is your body tuned to get it!

Moral of the story – remove the “negations” from your grammar. Sow only the positive words. I will win. I will figure it out. I will have a wonderful life. I will win the race. I will pedal well!

Voila! You figured it out!

All that I wish for...

I pray to the one who gave me life that I respect the people who gave me life – may I always respect what they gave me, and do justice to the act of giving me what they gave me. That’s my wish. May I always be able to protect my little sis, and to all these people may I give only reasons to be happy. May I always work hard – to the best of my ability. May I always stay focused.

May I also never forget that I was born to make a difference – to find homes for the homeless animals, to give the unfortunate the courage to dream.

May I always remember the purpose of my life, and not waste away. May I be a life well lived.

Nothing else matters.

- Amen
