Dear Friend,
It has been a great pleasure to have you in my life. Thank
you. The past year has been part of the grand adventure of life - exploring,
finding meaningful connections and evolving. I made a promise to myself some
time ago to not take things too seriously and let life unfold unfettered. Have
I honoured it? Well ….
There has been many a time when the business of life seemed
overwhelming. Yet in part due to that earlier resolution, I have allowed events
to unfold without too much resistance. This decision helped tremendously to
stay grounded. As years roll on, I have become better at it. Now the thought of
opposing the current of life seems so counterintuitive. The river of life flows
beautifully with pristine precision and I am no longer a tiny speck of rock
relentlessly trying to curb its momentum. I am swimming with the tide, cheering
her on.
I do not remember when I made this cognitive switch but boy
am I glad I did! I want to clear some myths that the idea of surrendering to
life invokes in most people. I have not given up on making plans, being
responsible, standing up for my rights, having fun or working hard to achieve
goals. Being OK with life is just to stop wasting my energy trying to block
something that has already happened. This leaves that energy open for effective
problem-solving and so much more. This means that if something I don’t like
happens, I don’t ruin precious moments of my life ruing over the injustice of
it. I acknowledge the event and my feelings over it. Then I take creative
action. A part of this journey has been the lesson of forgiveness.
Have I perfected this? Of course not. But I forget less now
by God’s grace. So what now? Who knows? It’s a great mystery and I am all set
to go. All I know is that I am in perfect hands. Ever grateful to the One who
never lets go. And thank you so much for being part of this grand journey. Wishing
you a wonderful year ahead full of love, joy, prosperity, peace and good
health…
