A message with a meaning

One of my friend sent me a message the other day. It said,

"In life, only 3 things matter the most...
How fully you lived,
How deeply you loved, and
How well you learnt to let go of things not meant for you".

Very true indeed!! How long you lived is not what matters. How well you lived is what matters. The world should remember you for what you were, even after you're gone.

'Love', that's one thing I always and always believed in. It is the most beautiful thing that can happen to anybody. Be it between anybody and any relationship; when Love intervenes, the relationship would turn worthwhile. And Love, has to be given it's respect. No playing around. When you love, you 'ought' to do it with all your heart. No short cuts and adjustments there.

The last line out there, that's my fav. When something doesn't belong to you,... Well, practically speaking, that would be a fact that would be hard to digest. Especially if you're an Aries (coz I am) or a stubborn person, who just can't let go and just can't stop trying; well, you're having a bad time then!! There is nothing wrong in trying to keep it. But when it's not working, then best (not even better)is to let it go. Because when things are destined to end, if you let it go, it will atleast end on a good note. But in case you try holding on to it, things will turn ugly, and at the end, you are the one whose gonna get hurt. They would be no hope also left. And how much ever you try to correct it, it's not gonna make any difference. Nobody would look at your intentions. They would just look at your ways. So, any day, it's better to gracefully let things go. I agree that it's easier said than done. But , no other option right? In case you are still stubborn, all you can do to keep peace with your mind, is, to pray and hope. You never know, it might come back to you someday if it was really meant to be..And when you get something when you least expect it, well, what more ? :) And by the way, 'Hope' has always been the light of life right? :)

This message helped me a little bit when I was low for something. Putting it up here, hoping it would help somebody someday a wee bit atleast :)

P.S. - I tried editing the template of my blog, and now the layout is messed up. For those who wanna comment on this blog, the link is right next to the title of the post ( instead of being at the bottom), and is called 'had reaction'. Sorry for the inconvenience.Not able to figure out how to set it right :(

Cheers,

rajiv said...

heeey...
imagine u r holdin on to a very cute little bird in ur palms, which u never wanna lose.. n wen u feel u r losin ur hold on d bird u try to hold it tighter, but u end up killin it in d process..
well, life's quite similar to this.. so u gotta kno wen to loosen ur hold on d bird, lest u kill is..

wat say?

Dr. Chandana Shekar said...

totally agree.. when u hold sand in ur hand, the more u try to grasp it, the more it falls off ur hand. got that from 'dil chahta hai' ;).

my question is, why cant the bird shut up and stay in the hand? it came there coz it liked it rite? now why does it wanna go? all that u try to hold it tight, is coz u don wanna let it go from u. but all that matters is that ur tryin to hold it. not ur intention... anyways, at the end, better let it go :)

Ann said...

Yeah. I agree with all three. And the most important thing is third one. Let thing go if they are not meant to be.

Don'tr cling on people and things.

Well written Chandana.
