Moving on & Letting go

Life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows.

Everyone in their lives have good experiences and bad experiences. The good experiences make life worth living and the bad experiences make you value the good experiences.

Whenever we have good experiences in life, we feel happy and blessed. But when we have to go through bad experiences we feel let down, blame our luck. But why can't we realize this that bad things happen; we meet the wrong people, we go through bad experiences but we can use these experiences as stepping stones to a greater success.

Agreed, forgiving and forgetting isn't easy and moving on is really difficult. But forgiving someone clears your mind, saves you from all the negativity that otherwise can consume you. Forgiving and forgetting the people who have wronged you, helps you in maintaining a calmer state of mind. Revenge in our hearts is like a poison. It can take you over. Before you know it, turns us into something ugly, its the worst part of being human. You don't want to do something for a short term high and then repent and feel embarrassed about it for the rest of your life. Forgetting isn't easy but forgiving is better.

One can choose to dwell in the bad experiences, sit in perpetual sadness, or can choose to learn from his mistakes and can correct his mistakes.

I believe every thing that happens in our life is for a reason. We may meet the wrong people, but these people make us realize the things that we don't want or who we never want to become. Failures help in building your character, it wakes you up like the Phoenix so that you can rise from the ashes and shine. Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, try and think what you can do next. Take each failure as a lesson and spend your energies moving forward. A life spent without making any mistakes isn't worthwhile.

I'd like to quote Dave Pelzer here-

"To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on."

And this is life- always changing

Times change, things change, people change.

We go along with our life, carry on with everything that is going on around us, carry on with our work but some times some things make us stop and ponder upon many things.

What was taken for granted earlier isn't there anymore. You have to adapt to it and change yourself too.

My brother got married and moved to a new house. His wife is now a great part of our lives. Sometimes I even joke with my mother that my sister-in-law is being treated more like a daughter and pampered more than even I have been. Its been almost 3 years now since he got married and moved on with his life. I always enjoy and look forward to the weekends we spend together. We all sit and can talk and laugh for hours and it makes me realize that more the people in your life, more is the joy in your life.

Academically speaking, I have finally completed my graduation in B.E. Mechanical with a First class. The only sad part that would haunt me is I missed a Distinction with 9 marks. But I take it as lesson for life- a little more effort and I can achieve more.

Now, am trying to be a great Technical writer and be successful in my field of work. Putting in hard work is a must.
The technical writing field excites me because it gives a chance to learn new applications, new tools, new domains, understand all the aspects before putting everything into words.So all in all, exciting times ahead! :-)

Changing times indeed!
