We only live once,
This life is all that we have got,
We thrive on memories,
Good, bad and strong,
We dream of a future,
Rosy, bright and then get forlorn.
Resting on laurels,
Regretting our follies,
Anger, resentment and remorse,
Leads us to a world of hopelessness,
Where dooms day looms large,
We look for a grey sky with black rain,
And a dismal landscape with despair in our minds.
Every moment that is gone is gone forever,
Catch the moment, turn it around,
Get the most of precious time.
Spin yourself around like a dervish or a top and look at life with new eyes,
There is a silver lining behind that grey cloud,
Catch it, let it light your path,
What has gone will never come back,
Youth, glory, beauty, time,
They go away, fade away and become footsteps on the sands of time.
Make new memories of loving and giving,
Trusting and receiving,
Of bright and beautiful,
Abundance and freedom,
Forgiving the follies and foibles,
Choosing to rejoice,
Making your own destiny with your own mind.
Catch this moment, live it, love it, cherish it,
Life is simple, just accept it,
It is acceptance not expectation,
It is all about loving and not leaving,
It is all about you, and all that is yours,
Chisel your bright smile,
Carve your new self,
Crown yourself,
Choose yourself,
Remember.... YOU alone are phenomenal.

Prem Varma, “I went through it and for a change comment too. I just wanted to say they are beautiful lines. And very positive too. But I think my techno disadvantage prevented me from putting it up.”
Neena, “I too have gone through it. It is really beautiful thoughts, penned even more beautifully. That is in reality the essence of life.
Like Prem I too was unable to leave my comments on the blog site, once earlier, due to technical problems, after which I never attempted to do so. Then I had spent a lot of time trying and retrying without any success.
Dipali Mandal, " Exactly.What a philosophy.Yes a must read for everyone.God bless."
Chaitali Nagpal Hireker, Experience speaks...to us younger gens
Time is so quick I see that with the kids growing up so quickly.
Life is simple...we need to live it...but do we jut accept it as it is? Or we accept that we mustn’t have expectations.
Sometimes you may need to leave because remaining in the same place may not be the best way to be kind to yourself. Good piece to start introspecting 👍💖👍
Varsha Uke Nagpal, " Chaitali Nagpal Hireker, Life is simple but we do not need to accept it "as it is". That would be fatalistic. The approach to life has to be changed and moulded to what "we" want out of life. Leaving a situation of life or a place is not always the best solution. One has to change the way one looks at a problem/situation and turn it around to suit us, because often one has to work within constraints and given circumstances. Let me also add here that I also think that one must not become a sacrificial goat and stay put in a circumstance which makes one unhappy inspite of trying. That is wrong...as I do say that we are the creators of our own destiny."
Ranjana Bharij, " Very beautifully expressed thoughts Varsha. Words flow so naturally from your mind converting deep philosophy into easily comprehensible ideas".
Rakesh Govil, " Deep and profound thoughts very well expressed. Time to enjoy and live in the present !"
