Z for Zipping (It)!!

After a month full of anticipation and wait and expectation, finally the challenge draws towards the end, with today being the last day.

Being a first timer in this challenge, I did not have a preplanned list of topics written and pre-scheduled. So waking up every morning and brain storming for a topic was pretty crazy. The innumerous edits and scrapping of the whole material now seems fruitful. Now when I look back at those 25 days, I really feel proud of myself  for having kept my promises, for  having lived up to my commitments (drawing a string of thought from my last day’s post).

This challenge was a fun experiment in itself and it is truly surreal to know that there are so many people who read my blog post. It allowed me to connect with other bloggers, with whom I would have otherwise never connected. I must also mention that this challenge helped me in getting a flow in my writing. Previously I would feel lazy and post something rarely. But this challenge got me into writing daily, thereby making it almost a habit to post something or the other everyday. And must I mention, I did miss not posting on Sundays.

So, summing up these fun filled 26 days , I would now like to zip up the challenge and hope to hear from you guys.

Y for Year!!

Mornings change into night, days change into week, weeks change into month and months change into a year. Time passes by and as we welcome a new year, we learn from our mistakes from previous year and try to make better decisions and choices.

Year after year we make promises to ourselves to do something or the other, we accomplish some while we fail to keep up with the rest. We, then make resolutions for the year ahead, and attempt at completing them. This is the process we carry on every year.

But somehow during the year, so many events take place that we often lose focus on what we planned on achieving. We forget our primary goal, we deviate from our track and end up doing something completely out of the “to-do” list. Well sometimes that might be a good thing, however most of the times this deviation from the main course of action does more harm than good. 

By the time the year ends and we look at what we have accomplished, just when we are excited to tick off the things from the “to-do” list, we end up ticking only a few. The disorganization in our heads, the lack of focus in one particular thing, the scarce faith within ourselves to be able to achieve what we have aimed for, leads to this incomplete list.

Thus the most important thing to do (can say this from my own experience) is to strongly stick with what you have decided. You should always say this to yourself – “Come what may, I will not let my 100% focus reduce, not even to 95%.” Having to keep up with the same enthusiasm till the end of the year, as you had at the beginning of the year is very difficult. However if you can keep it ,not only will you be able to tick of all the “to-do” items, but will be immensely satisfied to have kept your own promises, that for one full year you have stayed loyal to your commitments, that you have given priority to your promises than getting lured by choices which were good enough to distract you from your ultimate purpose.

This is my goal for the year and would love to know from you all how you feel about each passing year.

X for Xmas!!

With really few words to choose from, I decided to write about Christmas or Xmas in short. 

Neither am I a Christian nor do I live in a country where it is celebrated as much, yet I have found memories of this day. 

These memories are a result of my education in a christian school. Every year there would be a concert, a drama would be staged based on the story of Jesus Christ's birth. There would be songs sung to welcome the holidays, someone would get dressed as Santa and go around distributing candies and everyone would greet each other 'Merry Christmas' and Happy Holidays.

When I was a kid, Christmas eves went by decorating the Christmas tree and hanging up a sock with a letter to Santa inside it. The day of Christmas was even more exciting with presents from my mother and then a full day of watching television. Being from a christian school, I would offer my pray to Christ-My Lord and sing hymns and thank him for all that He has blessed me with.

Now when I watch movies and shows, which portray this day as a huge holiday, I wish I could experience it once and feel the excitement with everyone else who are pumped up about the day.

W for Worth!!

Worth is such an important term in everyone's life. To value people as per their worth is really essential.
There are various ways in which people often feel neglected or worthless. This is the core problem which needs to be solved.

When two people are in a relationship, there are times when they forget to acknowledge the worth of the other person. Though this might not seem like much of a problem but repeated act of negligence might ruin the relationship. There is no specific way in which a person can feel worthless, but take this as an example-
    The girl messages the guy and waits for his reply, while she is on a tour in a different country. She sees the 'last seen' time and it shows a time that is after the message sent time. This might not seem like a big deal for the guy, but the girl sure feels neglected.

Another example of failure to show worth is this-
  A working lady comes home after a very stressful day in office and has to cook dinner for the family. The food doesn't taste as good and her family members instead of asking her about her day in office and diverting the attention from the food, criticize her and make her feel guilty about the food cooked.

These are examples to illustrate the fact that it is of utmost importance to make a person feel worthy. Life is filled with so much stress and complication, work and peer pressure, among all this the only thing that a person wishes for is to be loved by their dear ones and be felt worthy enough.

This was something that I feel needs attention. Do let me know what are your views in this regard.

V for Variety!!

Variety! This is something that I seem to have mastered in my life! No kidding, my life is filled with an awful number of things that appeal to me.

Dance ranks the highest among the things that add variety to my life. I am a dance lover, a dance freak. Having been trained for over 10 years, this only seems too obvious. Dance makes me happy, it creates a special bubble of happiness that can be experienced wile training. All the hours of dancing, all the hours of hard work, they all seem nothing but sheer enjoyment to me. Never had I felt that I am tired of dancing, or felt that when would this training session end, that would almost be blasphemy! Rambling about Dance is quite my favorite topic, so I would now get on with the next variety in my life.

Books!! Though this has been a new found addiction, it seems to be overpowering my life more than I had imagined or anticipated. I am going through a strange phase , where I am feeling empty if I am not reading a book.

Next up is writing. Though I am not a decent writer as of now. But things are looking quite high on anticipation. Writing hasn’t been the most “wanted” thing in my list of things to do, but I have always had the wish to write.

Ok the next thing might sound absurd but I will mention it anyway! Talking!! O my God! The amount I speak isn’t even funny. My mother gets so irritated at times with my constant chattering, that she literally has to ask me to stop!

So, these are the few of my varieties in life. Everyone  has variety in life, and I would love to know from you guys what are your varieties!

U for Urge!!

The basic meaning of urge is to induce, to persuade! To have the urge to do something is essential in everyone’s life!

Like some of my previous posts on A for Accomplishment and T for Try, this post also follows the same line of thoughts. What I am trying to say is, to accomplish anything we must have the urge in the first place. It isn’t something that anyone can instill within us but for us to find it in ourselves.

To achieve greater things, we must find out why we want to achieve them, we must figure out what makes it so special that we want to have it for ourselves. Because if we find that out, we will then gather the Urge to move ahead in this path, will find the urge to eliminate any obstacles and emerge as a success.

When someone says-‘I am going to start a business!’ He is essentially saying it out of the urge to work for something of his own.  When your boss gives you orders, don’t take it as another work load, but think of it as an opportunity to show your capabilities. This is the urge that is being talked about.

Dig deep inside yourself and find out that urge in everything that you do in your life. For, doing something that you don’t care about is equal to wasting your valuable time.

T for Try!!

Have you ever faced a situation where you tell yourself- 'No, I can't do this' or 'This is beyond my capabilities.' ? These are the traps in life which if you view in  a negative prospect, can bring you down or if you look at it with a positive eye, will bring out your true potential!

The situations that you face are indeed difficult and daring, but to overcome these, you don't require rocket science! All you need is to Try! The willingness to try and move forward, the power within to go ahead and face the fear, the force inside you that says - 'Yes, can have it in you to do it!' , is there in you, all you need to do is wake them up. You have to listen to the sound of the 'Brave You' speaking. The voice might not be dominant at first, and that is exactly what you are required to do. You are required to give the faint sound within you, a greater power to capture your mind, to envelope your thoughts with the assurance that you can overcome the obstacle.

Though these are easier said than done, if it is implemented, it will do you more good than bad. The idea is to Try and push yourself, to bring yourself to the edge and to abandon all the fears. Once you are able to do this, there will be nothing that can scare you, that can shake your belief in yourself.
And thus the most important thing to do is to try and believe in yourself, rather than listening to others who wish to bring you down, who stand as a barrier between you and your success.

Life Will Always Try To Make Things Difficult For You 

But Every Time You Overcome Difficulties You Come Out Stronger.

Hope you guys liked this thought, for it is crucial to let go of your fears and try to overcome the obstacles.
