The Next Thirty Days...Day 9 (Remember)



Remember
Remember what?
Whatever you would like too
....
What happened?
Thinking about what to remember
Funny
Why, what's funny?
For you are the one who always to start with "Remember...."
Yes, I do remember that...
So why are you thinking....Just remember whatever you would like too....or whatever you can, don't have to think too much about it
You mean I can think about my first word?
Yes
Or my first step
Yes
Or first day of school
Hmmm
Or my first love
vow...
Or the first time I met my wife
good....
I think ...I jumped too many
Meaning..
I jumped from my first love to my wife...I missed a lot many in between
Like
The first lecture we bunked
Ha...we had almost entered the class and turned back...for movie....God that was some fun
And the first time we flunked....
Ooops.....yeah it was much easier than we had thought....right?
Right..
And it then equally tough getting back on track....
Hmm...yes...forget that what else
What else....let me think
Why do you need to think.....
For they are far too many things to remember...
That's true...even I am finding it difficult
Some bitter...
Some sweet...
Some eventful...
And some really dull...
Some funny..
And some really very emotional ...
Like...becoming a father...
Or utter those magical words...mom...dad
Seeing your little kid take the baby steps...
Then suddenly realizing ....that now they are very much on their own
And you are in the twilight of life....
Having all the time in the world to remember everything...everything
Not knowing what to remember
Yes....but then there are a few who made such difference to my life through the warmth and care that remembering them comes just like the way I breath
I know...we remember them from bottom of our....the depth even the seas can't fathom
Maybe tomorrow....someone will remember us too just the way we remember them
But today it's our time..time to remember and cherish all that we have and all that we do not...
Yes....it's never too late to realize that not everything you want in life is worth remembering..but what you have is much more worth remembering....
REMEMBER
REMEMBER

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

Day 23 - A Bucket List Is Not A Wait List

Many people craft a bucket list full of dreams, places to visit, skills to learn, and experiences to savor. Yet, more often than not, they tuck it away like an old book, waiting for the mythical “right time.” But why wait a lifetime to live the life you dream of? The truth is, a bucket list should not be a wait list—it is an invitation to embrace life's opportunities, big and small, starting now. The longer we wait to check items off our list, the more distant those aspirations become, morphing into fantasies rather than goals. Life is too short and too precious to wait indefinitely for the "perfect moment." So, how can we turn that list of dreams into reality? Here are some reflections on why now is the time to act, and some ways to start ticking off those bucket list items without delay. Start Small but Start Now The first misconception is that fulfilling a bucket list requires monumental leaps or huge financial investments. While some aspirations may indeed...

Gone Too Soon

Gone too soon is a bitter truth that hits hard when you have fond memories of the person to look back and smile upon.  However inevitable it may be, death is something we are least prepared for. Rarely do we acknowledge death and prepare for it. It is far easier to know we are going to die one day. We all know it. We are destined to die the moment we are conceived.  But it is one thing to know and totally another to realize and accept we are going to die. How many of us live as if we are going to die today. Will we be really at peace preparing for death? Why is it that we wait for someone to tell us we don't have much time to start valuing time?  We always hear someone or other say, “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” Most times we have a hearty laugh about it but ignore what it tells us. How many times do we ask ourselves if today is going to be the last day of our life, what is that we would do?  Steve Jobs in his ...
