A few years back, I was lucky enough to come in close acquaintance with a highly dynamic teacher who used to teach me and many others the techniques of fundamental and analytic mathematics. He was a man who perennially displayed energy, vigour and optimism. His aura embraced all of us effortlessly like sunlight washing over nature at the break of dawn. He said to me something that I still hold on to close to my mind and heart and whenever am in the worst of moods and nothing seems right I remember his golden words. He said, "IT'S NEVER TOO LATE AND IT'S NEVER TOO HOPELESS''.
So when everything seems to be running out of my hands and making a fresh beginning comes across as a totally absurd thought, I think about what he said to me. Somehow it immediately peps me up and I feel infused with hope full of faith.
It's a Sunday today, a day to relax and rejuvenate oneself but I wonder does someone really need a whole day to rejuvenate or just a moment of true reflection? The concept of relativity of time is indeed very intriguing for it can make years pass away in a flash of a second and sometimes just a single second stretches to infinity.
Being a human being comes with its fair share of highs and lows. We can't expect from ourselves to be reflections of pure perfection because that would be too unrealistic even for our imagination. And moreover perfection is highly relative, depends upon perceptions. What might be perfect to me, might not be to you. In any case chasing perfection with persistence, sincerity and excitement can bring us pretty close to our interpretation of perfection.
These are the few quotes that might be a just few words long but carry infinite depth in terms of meaning and yet can be accepted and applied rather simply by our souls.

So why not dream a new dream, make a new beginning, chase our goals like never before and let the magic unfurl!!!!

DeleteSavvy, this was amazingly beautiful! I took to heart every word you said.. and I hope I always remember that one thought, "It's never too late and it's never too hopeless. Thank you for visiting my blog!!!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much Crystal!!! Your post was amazing. Staying humble is one of the most important qualities a person should possess.
DeleteSavvy! You're so sweet for the mention in this post.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest with you. Although I haven't disclosed much in my blog, I have been slightly stressed out with my new job and tend to set unrealistic goals for myself. Therefore, I've been too hard on myself!
However, after reading this post - - you've helped me to understand that we need to take it easy. Life is too short to strive for perfection - we need to live, love, enjoy it - - and not freak out so much!!!
Thank you!!!
Thankyou so much for such nice words Cathy!!! And trust me it's the same with all of us. We expect so much from ourselves. But never mind, just keep yourself happy n do the rest of the work sincerely. Everything eventually falls into place.
DeleteThe John Burrough quote is great; I completely agree with those sentiments. There really aren't enough hours in the day!
