To health and happiness

Our purpose of life is to appreciate and cherish the life we've been given, and by appreciating I most definitely do not mean the incessant late night partying.

Happiness comes in different forms for different people.. It can be work, family, friends, doing some greater good for humanity or anything one strikes a chord with.

Every now and then I keep asking myself whether striking a balance between all the aspects is a prerequisite to eternal happiness. As part of my trifling conclusion, our Gods (some of them) left the worldly boundaries like family and took upon the entire mankind as their own, with no discriminations based on cast, creed or colour. If that may be the case, does the quintessential balance that we talk about really exist in reality or is it just a one of our creations to justify the norms of society that we life in?

Being in that state of happiness and contentment is an experience compared to none and very few would have found the key. The idea is to cherish what you have and throw the unnecessary baggage that weighs you down. As pointers:
*
Cherishing what you have should not be misconstrued as an escape routine to not set goals. One should always keep setting goals for themselves, both short and long term!
*The
Baggage that I talk about is a part of everyone's life: a bad relationship, an unsuccessful career move, a tyrant boss. The key is to let go of the unnecessary and move towards the greater good that you need to achieve.

I try to implement the same in my life and look for inspiration in and around.

As a conclusion, hang onto the good habits/people/activities and let go of the negativities that bring you down coz they really aren't worth wasting the precious limited time you got..

Make a difference in the life's of people around you and see the happiness and joy it brings to you!

Boney ME?!!

Now this has got to be most useless revelation.. Why did Boney M name themselves Boney M??

Let me start by saying that this blog is not at all researched and I mean no disrespect to the band. But you've got to give it to them... I mean, I distinctly remember the lead singer and all the backup singers being immensely skinny.... Hence BONEY M(e)???? I got it right didn't I?

With 95 fm playing in the back and the artist singing, I'm just here for the music, the line just suits me perfectly!!

Why do we even care if the person standing next to us is skinny or fat.. Is it our subconscious trying to justify our own self image?

Then again, I'm just here for the music (literally and metaphorically speaking now!!!)

As my subconscious takes over without the aid of any external medication, er.. I mean before my mind goes adrift I'd like to say only one thing. LOVE THYSELF: Skinny, fat, tall or short, watever you may be!

Love yourself, Pamper yourself, coz no one will cherish you more than you do... it's all about being you 'coz tomorrow you'll be long gone!!!!
