Are we caught up in TIME now to do many things. Gone are those days when there used to be small talks with friends, lovely fights with siblings and so on right. There were times that we take things for granted. Imagine how things were when you were young, those days of playing on the streets, in the park and so on. With friends it was more fun and today it is becoming a big thing to call them and talk to them. You were enjoying those nice ice creams when you plunged into one cup of ice cream and dint bother about hygiene and shared the spoon with your friend.

Those long conversations on the phone made you wonder, why can’t this clock stop ticking and why the hell does it move so fast. Popcorns, long walks (I used to do this a lot in my university days and until recently), various discussions on who is the best cricketer and why Politics is so bad and on and on. Those midnight wishes.

Life has become so very different today right. We never step out to see what is real and what is not. And we feel that life is meaningless. Even today we don’t find time and curse and clock for moving fast and blame the time for not doing many things. Not even a call to a friend.

We did not realize how much love and care we were given by our parents and today many are busy showing the same to children yet not sure what they one is doing.

Life is the same, we are just different. We need to gain back the same joy and fun in our life. We need to detach ourselves from many a things and while still not forgetting our responsibilities. Not that responsibilities weren’t there before. When you were studying probably your highest responsibility was that to score well, to get a good job and so on. Those days these were big responsibilities for us. Today as I was travelling to work from home in Dubai, I was really wondering are these materialistic things giving any please and keep up with the fast paced world.

We just make world the way we want to. Please the very idea of this post is for people to stop giving those excuses, I don’t have time, I cannot do it and so. Please henceforth say “I don’t want to do it”. This would mean a lot. Things change yes, but what happens because of this change, oneself. We change and say the environment and situation force us to change. I don’t want to believe in that because the only person who can and who must control your life has to be you. Do you want someone else to control your life?

Priorities of life change and hence we accept the change and these so called priorities become the No. 1 excuse. Human kind is really capable of giving up and letting lots of excuses come in way. If you can stop this then your life will be better. Because when you say “I don’t have time”, “I cannot do it”, it means your pulling yourself down. You must respect your capabilities and henceforth when you say this please say “I don’t want to do this”. This at least will not pull you down and you still act with confidence. Excuses make you a victim and sometimes also makes you carry a guilt. When you I don’t want to, you act so much of conviction that it gives you courage and confidence that you are making the best choice!

Do your best to also enjoy those small things of life. Remember friends, call them wish them. I did a small piece of it today. Mailed some good old friends and asked them how they were. Remembered what people at home like, so that I can probably buy some of those for them. Makes me feel good for the moment atleast before I get into work.
