The Painful Love..

Love hurt when you said go..

Love hurt when you didn’t know..

Love hurt when you were far..

Love hurt at every odd hour..

Love hurt when i remembered “goodbye”

Love hurt and I couldn’t even cry..

Love hurt more than I could bear..

Love hurt till i gave up right here!

Prioritizing Kills Life?

Well the title asks a grave question.. Do you prioritize in your life? If yes what usually gets the top slot in your things to do? Is it work or is it play or is it family?

Well depending on the kind of person you are it would depend on what’s important to you.. But consider this.. Does prioritizing for work mean family is less important? Does that mean you take your family for granted?

Well tough one aint it?

The answer lies in the art of balancing things.. There are four aspects to anyone’s life social, career, health and spiritual.. One needs to work on these four simultaneously improving each aspect.. Think of them as the four tyres of a car which need to move/progress together..

What happens usually in life is we need to choose one over the other due to lack of time or because we expect a lot from one aspect and have a very high level of enough.. Which sidelines the other aspects in our lives.. Does that make for a happy life? Not really one always regrets not doing things than doing them..

On the whole the art of balancing calls for patience and a kind of dicsipline which is tough to sustain on a daily basis and continue it over long periods with setbacks, accidents and ofcourse habits that we have formed over the years forcing us to go back to our old ways.

What’s Your Level Of Enough?

Well the post title is one which is borrowed from this book I read not so long ago.. It was “Hungry Spirit” By charles handy..

The book had a concept of “level of enough” in which the writer stated that one persons level of enough defines his or her state of happiness and contentment with life..

As they say expectation leads to disappointment and thats what screws the life out of your life. I have felt many times that my level of enough is actually not present as I reach a goal i look for a higher one and same goes for my personal relationhips where my expectations keep increasing.

This book advocates lowering our level of enough.. I.e. how much money is enough? how much food? how much partying?

This book advocates lowering your level of enough for each aspect in your life.. It means wanting less..

People could disagree saying that this limits how we want to scale and grow in life.. Though a great point its also important to ponder on the fact that do we have a level of enough?? Can we be happy with less??
