Subtle Remembrance

There could be times in our lives when situations overwhelm us. We could wake up in the morning heavy-hearted for no reasons. We could grow cynical of everyone and everything. There could be times when we lose touch with our purpose, when we forget why we're here. There could be times when our minds are inundated with intrusive thoughts. We might hit rock-bottom. There could be times when we might not be able to connect to anyone. There could be times when we're lost, confused or agitated. There could be times when our minds are constantly navigating the past and the future. There  could be times when we are filled with guilt, remorse, rage and fear and the pain seems insurmountable.

At those times, especially and more importantly at those times, it's necessary to remember the peace and positivity we exuded as children. It's important to remember the mindset and heartset we had when we felt loved and appreciated. It's important to remember hope in the eyes of our loved ones. It's important to remember our joyous faces reflected in the mirror while we were posing our new clothes in festivals. It's important to remember the hope we had in life when we chose our career path. It's important to remember the love that our parents have for us. It's important to remember that we are capable of forgiving everyone including ourselves. It's important to remember that we are worthy of love and that we owe it to ourselves to never fail on self-love. It's important to remember our dreams, our aspirations. It's important to remember the tiny moments of laughter. It's important to remember the flashes of eternity when we were awed by nature, by the beauty beyond comprehension. It's important to remember that the universe is large and that we are little beings full of life and hope. It's important to remember that we are extensions of love and that love is our religion, faith and duty. More importantly, it's important to remember death and that it's in due for each one of us and so grudges, vanity or any '-isms' don't matter. It's important to remember that everything is impermanent. It's important to remember that though only a zillionth fraction of this magnanimity, we still breathe and live. It's important to remember that with faith, love and courage, we will find our light at the end of the tunnel. Life is not a fairy-tale, yet for the sake of living, it's important to believe that we will find our way back- HOME.

Today, I encourage everyone to remember your worth, to forgive, to let go, to drink from the pool of life, to breathe deeply and smile. I plead everyone, today, please live a little more!!
