Towards 30

May 31 2010

I noticed that a few close friends that I have at this point of my life now will be entering 30s this year.   For the past 4 weeks, my conversations with them have evolved around life after 30s.  Now that they have a steady career, steady streams of in-come, some are deciding on their next dream family, some brand new car, few thinking of investing into businesses.

I will be turning 30 in a few weeks and have another 10 years before the big 40.  I have been asking myself what do I want to have achieved by 40.  What do I want to have accumulated to prepare for my life  journey into years of 40s.  The list is getting longer.  Here’s few that I want so far..

Driving my dream car(Ambassador)…
Be d’ Man of  Business (only few will know what is this)
Have my own Digital Condo set up by 33 with the latest wireless and home IP gadgets.
Sufficient cash to start up a new business in Pollachi or my google valet franchise (by than it might be something else).
Cover AUSTRALIA or US or CUBA or SINGAPORE (all countries) by 40s.
I have no idea how I am going to achieve all these including my dream car… .  As for now, I think I need more money.  The question is how do I make more risk-free money other than my business & investment now? I have no idea..

I will just continue to persue my number 1 dream for now and start working on the rest once it is stabalized. Pray fully too it will fullfill all the rest of my dreams in my life.

Life

May  31 2010

Life often evolves in a very mysterious way, bringing along unanticipated experiences and therefore lessons. The outcome of our life is resulted from how we respond to these experiences. If we received it with open arms, learn to adapt and evolve with it… we progress, we grow. On the other hand, one who resent it, rejects it… regress into anger, bitterness & and eventually… depression.

The fundamental difference is ’CHOICE’… how we choose to respond when life experiences come knocking on our door.

The second fundamental is… to love, respect and be patient with one another despite the choices they made. We can still do that though we might disagree with his/her choice.

What’s freedom… actually?

May 30 2010

When we were kids…Being waken from our sleep, Dragged to school through the years. Life seems like a bottomless peak…We can’t wait for freedom after graduations. When we started work, As bills and debts mountains. We can’t wait to get married… with someone to share our burdens yet after D’day… we lost ourselves trying to be good spouse, in-laws, and  parents..

Life is trapped once again and we lost completely, our freedom.When they are all gone… the young and old
The mountains of debts and bills and parenting guilt.Life finally found its freedom…Only to face with our body saying… it’s about time to draw down the curtains…

So… what’s freedom… actually?.

Toyz II

May 29 2010

How often when we were caught in a rush-hour traffic, we noticed that we were SOV like others in a 5-passengers vehicles?  (SOV=single-occupant vehicle).  It would be really beautiful if every drivers uses this cute single-passenger-vehicles instead for ‘around the town’ trips. 
Lithium battery powered, no more heartache when the fuel price when up!  A cute toyz to have at Rs 1391700 INR each.

Letting go...

May 28 2010

The hardest thing in life, is choosing to let go of something beatiful, and dearly loved..

Lost

May 27 2010

Facebook, AIM, Photobucket, LinkedIn, Xing, NetLog, Twitter, FriendFeed, Rediff, Google, Hotmail, Podcast, flickr, Blog, WordPress, YouTube, RSS, Digg, Delicious… with hundreds of feeds, thousands of applications… new games, movies, music, messages and news streaming into our life by the second.  We are living in a very exciting age with so many choices and so much we can do vie the world of net…
… Sometimes we do not realized how lost we are.

I Miss You...

 May 26 2010

It was almost perfect in every little way…
The gentle touch, the quiet whisper and the assuring voice.
It brings cheer into my life, yet tears through many nights.
I knew it all along, it is not mine to own.
Thus this chapter is written… the final finale…

If you are reading this, take time to reflect where you are now in your life.  How happy are you now with what you have achieved so far from the scales of 1 – 5 in the are of your family life, social, health (physical, mental, emotional), financial, career, spiritual, compared to where you want to be.

What’s stoping you from achieving your desires.   Take time to go through the above list again and identify the top 5 reasons that stop you from achieving your goals.
Meanwhile, just as Success does not define who we are, our Failure does not define us too.

I don't feel like....

May 24 2010

I don’t feel like going out tonight.
I don’t feel like walking through the cold and mist in the dark.  
I don’t feel like having the wind hit me in the face making my eyes water.  
I don’t feel like being an acrobat placing my feet in just the right spots so I don’t fall.  
I don’t feel like being out twice as long because it takes that much longer to walk anywhere. 

I have to go to my work tonight; the one I signed up for just to socialize.  That’s it; my only motive.  I really get nothing out of it, well, other than meeting a few people.

How do these types of people get a free pass?

May 23 2010

I lay on the icy cold tiles in my room for 2 hours last night crying, just wanting to die. It’s all my broken links.  I’m made up of them.  No one listens to me and I feel like I have no sense of control in my life. What I asked for seemed so simple and I gave clear directions and yet they do what they want instead of what I asked.  I was given a lot of crap that I would have been humiliated to present to anyone.  I never get away with anything like that and it just makes me wonder why I’m held to a higher standard than the rest.  How do these types of people get a free pass?

While on the floor I decided I’m not going back to Pollachi.  It is really dragging me down and I don’t need any reminders of how weak some of my relationships are.  I would have thought twice about taking this steps again if I had known it was going to focus on my weakest skills and my weakest relationships I had.  This isn't the time.  I don’t need to focus on my weaknesses I need to focus on my strengths.  I need to protect myself.  I’m hanging on by a thread.

Casual

May 22 2010

Ignore problems until the very last minute, build up the pressure. I respect looking for something by expecting; simply staring. Heaven forbid I could put work before pleasure. And I do, take pleasure in working more than worrying – My destructive piece of mind struggles otherwise as my lazy side concedes – I believe, everything could be perfect in the end. And constant happiness is possible.

No-one Knows

May 21 2010

How can one describe a feeling so numb?
Of the highest highs and deepest disguise-
I was going to live my life, I swear…

And it won’t be the distance that does it
Nor the constant pushing away
Rather never knowing
Of leaving bed, moods and heads
To sway; to stay, today?

Journey in silence

May 17 2010

This week I have been driving to and from work in silence. A bit of a struggle for me as my mind tends to wander in all sorts of directions if I’m not distracting myself with music or tv or any loud sound to quiet my mind. I’ve found that this mini mental break has actually been really good for me. Not only has it been a nice break for my normally out of control mind, it has given me an opportunity for insight.

This morning on my way into work I was thinking about how my mind works. It is a perfectionist’s mind. It expects daily miracles. There is nothing wrong with setting high goals but in recovery it is important to be realistic. My mind says “do something the correct way once and you will be healed”, the problem with thinking this way is that when I do something the correct way and I still have anxiety, my anxiety gets worse, I beat myself up for not being “better”.

Dreamz!

May 16 2010

I am a dreamer… at least in my sleep.  I dream very frequently as often as every night since very much younger.  Sometimes I love it, especially when I have sufficient sleep and woke up with a smile on my face.  Some times I hate it… especially when I was chasing something or be chased, teeth falling out, falling, fights between love ones, arriving late to some important functions.


Sometimes dreams can be very helpful… a solutions to an issue which I have been working on.  Sometimes it is a warning… like ‘drive carefully!’.  Sometimes it’s a mystery… Sometimes it’s boringly black and white, and sometimes I can remember the colour, the touch, the smells, and the feelings… especially when it is a beautiful dream.

As I aged teen, I began to enjoy dreams more… especially dreams that repeats my Anipra and my daily errants in life.  Whenever I am stressed, my dreams evolve around the situations that I was stressed about…. to the point I have to ask myself , ‘…did I actually made that promise, call that decision, met the person or did that happened in my dream?’…  Whenever that happened, I woke up feeling like I have not slept!.

Tonight, I yearn for dreamless night to have a complete rest after few days of eventful dreams!

Eternal Sunshine

May 12 2010

I continue to feel better mentally. It has to be attributed to the Oleanz that was newly prescribed. I have always had a low-level depression biting my head even on "good days", but I don't even have that now. Not only that, I am actually sleeping well with no assistance from Ativan. I am getting tired around 10:00pm, go to sleep, sleep through the night and wake up at a good time. It is amazing to me that this is occurring when remembering how not long ago I would go night after night with no sleep.

Could all of this be the Oleanz? Does it really give "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"? (love that movie, by the way)

May 6 2010

I think that sometimes, people don't die from suicide or from accidents or illnesses.

I think that sometimes, people die because they simply lose their will to continue with life.

Once the will to keep fighting is gone, something changes in their hearts.

With no will to keep going, you simply don't.

Ineffective Daily Affirmations

May 4 2010

Feeling blue or insecure? Losing sight of what’s important? Still searching for the real “you”? In this self-help age of soul-searching, daily affirmations have been known to do the trick.
But you probably shouldn’t try these …
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else’s fault.
I no longer need to punish, deceive or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to be employed.
In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.
Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others.
My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment.
I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more.
I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self- righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain.
When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying.
All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid and disgusting parts.
I am at one with my duality.
Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears.
I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws.
Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than “I told you so.”
I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step — blaming my parents.
I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.

Found Note...

May 2 2010

I have been so busy lately. I know I have a lot to catch up on, reading and writing, but will be busy the next few days. Sorry. I owe Pooja a reply on her disclosure post and I read a very interesting post by Sruthi  that I want to comment on. But I was going through some things in my storage area and came across this note … I wanted to share it:

On This Day:

Mend a quarrel

Search for a forgotten friend

Dismiss a suspicion, replace it with trust.

Write a letter to someone who misses you

Encourage a youth who has lost faith

Keep a promise

Forget an old grudge

Examine your demands on others and vow to reduce them.

Fight for a principle

Express your gratitude

Overcome an old fear

Take two minutes to appreciate the beauty of nature

Downloaded krithi & kavin Photos

Tell someone you love him/her

Tell them again

and again

and again.

99% vs. 100% honesty

May 1 2010

Two days ago, I stopped telling little stupid lies. Since then, my life has improved by a ridiculous amount.

There is a big difference between 99% and 100%. 100% committed is far more powerful than 99% committed. 100% confident is far more useful than 99% confident. And 100% honest is far more empowering than 99% honest.

99% honest is pretty good, it’s true. The 1% of my dishonesty was mostly either “fudging by rounding” or “little white lies”.  Here are some examples.

Mom: “Did you see that actor sivakumar's speech in vijay tv ?”

Me: “Yeah, it was really nice!”

My thoughts: “Huh, why did I say that? I didn’t see it at all.”

Dad: “Are you okay with this plan?”

Me: “Yeah.”

My thoughts: “I’m mostly okay with this plan, and that’s close enough that I don’t feel like making a big deal out of it.”
