Something About Anything

Today morning a phone call left me feeling bitter and hurt. I immediately went to my source of comfort, my best friend and my husband, Sanket, who also happens to be a Life Coach . And I told him what had happened and what I was feeling. To which he just smiled and said, ‘You felt all that because you had expectations. Leave all your expectations and you will always be happy.’ It was right, I called the person with certain expectations and they were not met. And so I felt hurt. But then as always I had more questions and doubts. For me to be happy, I would stop expecting from people. But what about the expectations others have from me? To which he asked me to apply my own principle - Don't do anything because you HAVE to. Do it only when you WANT to.

I came across this nice poem and thought this would be a good start to the amazing week ahead for all of us!! Smile Smiling is infectious You catch it like the flu When someone smiled at me today I started smiling too I walked around the corner And someone saw me grin When he smiled I realised I had passed it on to him I thought about the smile And then realised its worth A single smile like mine Could travel round the earth So if you feel a smile begin Don't leave it undetected Start an epidemic And get the world infected.

What exactly is the right time to do something? We keep telling ourselves ‘I will work on an idea when the right time comes’ or ‘I will buy this particular thing which I need when the time is right’ or ‘I will pursue my hobby when the time is right’... So what exactly is this right time? Should we really wait for the right time to do the right thing or do the right thing and make that particular time right? I have been intending to start writing for a long time but kept pushing the idea further stating that the time is not right. But this morning, I asked myself what would make a particular day or hour or minute right… and I had no answer. So I was basically waiting for something I was not sure what it looks like or feels like. So I just opened my laptop and started writing. I don't know what I am going to write next but I knew I wanted to make a start and make this day the right day. How many of you have been waiting for the right time? Believe me… right time is now...
