Leave your best as your legacy

What are you going to leave behind you??

It has been a while since I have blogged. Yeah, you can say that I haven't been motivated to write or didn't get time out of my busy schedule and blah blah blah...but I will just skip the excuses and move forward. Actually I have been thinking about alot of things lately...like life, relationships and things like that....about which I never thought with this intensity earlier.

And one topic which has attracted all my attention and soul is “What shall I do to make people remember me after my death?” Might be like me, everybody else thinks of the same at some point of their life. Isn't it??

Anyone who knows me knows that I am blessed with a gift of speaking....when I start who knows when I'll stop....I think most of the time I talk sense. But what shall I say that people will remember for a long time???? I have been blessed with few more small-big talents....but what it is which can make my name stay forever in people's mind???

As I reflect on the things I have been blessed to do , I truly feel thankful. I am thankful for the victories and failures, for the time alone and time amidst of great caring, affectionate people, for good health and a good soul. I am encouraged by those who move to do great things with nothing but thought.

Recently, I read an unfinished story ,in a piece of paper in which my vada pav was wrapped, of an innocent women who was forced to spend 18 years of her life in prison for no fault of her. Her dreams were shattered and left with nothing in her life.

I have no idea what this woman was confined for, but I know that the gift that God gave her was confined to prison walls for all those dark years. But then I realized that so many people who are free, confine their dreams without the boundaries of a prison. At what point do you begin to fully live the life that you were placed here on Earth to live? When do you stop making excuses for living beneath your dreams? When do find the courage to move from ordinary to extraordinary? 

Well, I am not really sure if there is a defined time to get answers for all these questions, but there is a quote that I try to focus on every chance I get, “When faced in the right direction continue to walk.” Many people have no direction, specially the youth.

Today, is the best day to change the things you don’t like and start living the best life you have ever though of and you could ever live. For this you you don’t have to have a magic wand or a big master plan or something.......all you need is to know is that you no longer want to live like the way you are currently living. All it takes is one step in the right direction and you are well on your way because remember - "That once faced in the right direction all you have to do is continue to walk."

So, I have decided that from today I won't make another excuse about why I can’t do something I like or why I have not finished something I wanted to. Am not gonna allow myself to get in my own way. I believe everything is provided to you by the universe...you just need to act on your thoughts. I know that the words are much easier than the action, but if it were easy then no one would have an excuse in the first place. Isn't it? Somebody said when you really want something with all your heart and soul, the whole universe together makes effort to give it to you.

I encourage you not to take your best with you, but rather to leave your best here as your legacy. I am leaving behind my thoughts..........
