Uncertainity...

If we could only learn to live with a little uncertainity and stopped fretting over what's going to happen next, we could make our present so much better.

We miss out on so many things today because we are waiting for a better tomorrow, when we have more time, more money and a better opportunity. But how many of us actually have better tomorrows? And what today's do have to compare them wih? There is never that "right time" that we wait for.

I myself have waited to do so many things when the time is right. Be it small things like waiting to watch a movie after the exams (which remains unseen) or waiting to buy new furniture till you move in a better place; the wait never ends. We keep on postponing things, and ultimately they lose their charm or we are too old to enjoy them. But we still don't learn.

I have forgotten how to just go with the flow of things... to just do something because you want to do it... to not think of pros and cons. It might be better this way because it makes my life less risky, but then it might all end tomorrow and i'll never get to do the things i wanted most.

I have spent the past 25 years of my life in the pursuit of a career and social standing, and in the end what does it give me? A 14 hour job and dissatisfaction over what i could've been? i waited for the time when i will get a job and i can finally do things my way... but well i'm still not able to do it...

i wish i wouldn't fret over tomorrow so much...

Its living your life today which will make ur tommorow beautiful.Isnt it illogical to run after something shrouded in uncertainty that to live the moment,live the dream?Its the uncertainty and the fact of doing something not based on constant evaluation,worrying about consequences,opinions that makes ur today intresting and the future worth looking forward too
