Art of letting go things
Letting few things and people go from my life has been one of the toughest challenges ever. In fact, dealing with people has always been a bigger challenge and also the most interesting task. It is challenging because these are the same people who have been close to me in the past and fill in some good memories. Every heart craves for friendship, bond, love & emotional attachments. Human desires are never ending. These are the same desires that drive a person in achieving great success. In the absence of reality check, desiring to a certain extent may go out of control. Intelligence lies in realizing that relationships change as situations change with time and quickly adapt for the better.
A coin has 2 faces and so is ways of life. If sadness cannot last too long, so is happiness. There is a cure to everything. My experience is that if nothing else works out, time is the best healer. There are tricks to fool our hearts and minds. Rest assured is taken care by the nature.
I believe in helping friends if I know that I can be of some help to them. I feel the need to help others as a matter of gratitude towards people who have made a difference in my life. One of my old friends has been cribbing about the same things in his life for the last 5 years. Out of courtesy, I have been genuinely helping him with his issues. I have reached a place where I realize that he is a typical breed who doesn’t want to change and face his demons. His comfort lies in getting into the same issues, going through same negative emotions, cribbing to death and boring people with his tell-tale misadventures. It’s high time I stop sympathizing and empathizing with his sad stories and let him get along with his life the way he wants. I mentally get drained injecting positive energy to a hopeless person. It’s tiresome when I know that everything I did was a sheer waste! I wish he is hit with a powerful lightening and the moron gets replaced with a sensible brain.
There are some who show you the world through their pleasing words. We take pleasure in making few promises in a lighter vein. Beware, as those are not meant to be put in actions. The art lies in having no expectations from others. When you know that a friend weighs your worth of long time friendship with only a hundred bucks in the label of ‘tell me whatever u want –gift’ while happily plans for his most expensive trip on the other side. Why say ‘I want to buy u the best gift’ when your intention is to spend only a hundred. For a second, I had become the kid who eyed on a favourite pair of ear rings which is lil more than a hundred rupee.
The ways & styles of healing make the most interesting part of inspirational stories. A thorn can be removed from another thorn. A single drop of amrit (drink of the gods) could make a man immortal and the same drink in excess can be poisonous. Anything that works out just fine!
Some appear whenever they have some work. This is fine if it facilitates two- way round.
Successful people often face difficulty in letting go people who mattered once upon a time. They find it challenging to sustain & nurture the strained relationships. It gives immense pleasure to bring those people back in life. There would be a point where mind becomes hyper, thinking about ways to get them back…
Sometime back, due to various reasons few of my close friends parted ways. I was successful in getting them back and that brought me unbounded joy. Problem starts when our equation is not the same anymore. I strongly felt that I don’t need them if the rapport is’ not beautiful as it was earlier. I liked the time spent together in the past and cherish memories. Truth is if something belonged to us, it will definitely come back to us on its own. The art lies in identifying which one not to keep and to move on in life without regrets and not miss the moments that cannot be recreated. That definitely brings more happiness and peace to my heart.
