Are You Better than Yesterday?

"It is necessary to surpass oneself always; this occupation ought to last as long as life." - Christina

At the most unexpected time, I discovered life in another perspective.


I was living it freely and spontaneously but never had I pondered on it deeply - like I do now. Life was just passing by like a big screenplay in front of me. And I'm it's biggest fan - an audience waiting for every scene to occur and hoping that the director of this play thought over the plot carefully so that I get my money and time's worth of watching.
It was all passive and somewhat submissive. 


When I came face to face with this new perspective, I realized that I have a role to play.  I can criticize. I can react. I can question. It's actually not rocket-science but the mere awareness of this power unraveled the better me.


It's never too late to assess where you are right now.  I got another chance.
Looking back, I figured I survived the many challenges thrown unto me. I successfully solved certain issues in my life with grace and gusto.  The only difference now, is that I actually appreciate it more, because when it happens again, I know better what to do. 


Perhaps the trick is to see life in a macro and micro point of view as and when necessary. You then focus on whatever it is you're trying to improve. It's like leaving a mark; leaving a legacy - that at one point in time, you tried to make better today than yesterday.  Because after all, we do not live for ourselves only.

This is the new me writing.


This is an overflow of inspiration.


A wake-up call to make things better.
