A Glimpse

Learn from the past, live in the present and dream for the future. I have heard so many punchlines I never know which one fits where. "If it is meant to happen, it will happen" - but what if you take control and make things happen for yourself? Ofcourse, people could still say you were meant to be that way and do those things you did. 'Everything happens for a reason' - in that case believe in the reason and make it your aim. I am not an atheist, I believe in the Almighty. But I do not think he pre-writes a fixed story for each one of us. I think our life story keeps changing, depending on our past deeds and the one factor we don't have control over - luck. You have to observe the changes in the lines of your palm to believe this.

Sometimes, this luck can give you a glimpse of the life you always wished for but never thought you would have. Everything feels surreal and amazing at that moment. And you wish that moment would never end. And if it does have to end, let it come again and again in your life, maybe even get better. What is the best approach then, let life take its course or make an effort to chase this happiness? More often than not, it is a special person who is the cause of such memorable moments. Everyone is greedy and everyone is selfish in one way or the other. Yet in a feeling of gratefulness, you want this special person to be happy, and would love a chance to be their cause of happiness for as long as possible.

There is nothing in the world not fraught with risks; and so are relationships between people. And so when you make a commitment, you take a risk. Relationships and people succeed and fail, but failure of a concept should never warrant its exclusion from you life. You learn, and take risks again coz you believe your risk would one day earn you rewards that would be worth all the failures. A line in a movie I heard said: It happens in a blink of a moment. One moment you're having dinner with them and the next moment you're thinking how you ever lived without them. So if you have had this moment, make it count..Be selfish and greedy..and try to make this happiness a part of your life forever. Make the glimpse a permanent reality.
