Stop to smell the roses...

Life is an excellent teacher, it has its unique way of presenting
problems and so compelling us to find ways to solve it too.
From our time of birth, till we say "audios" to life on this
earth, every individual is striving to do something, to
accomplish it in sometime, travel to somewhere, or struggle
to be someone. There are hurdles and obstacles to overcome
and there are helping hands and opportunities to be thankful
to. Including all these, is what most of the living being
journey through the passage of life.

In all this running, we often do forget to 'stop and smell the roses'.
One friend of mine once said, she is scared to smell the roses, as
she might find a bug in it. A "bug" is nothing but just an excuse,
not to slow down a little. We human beings, at least most of us,
have forgotten the pleasure of small things. The mad race has
made us automated, and robotic. Feeling and emotions are rare
commodities in today's date, they seem a bit old fashion too. I
guess I am not one of those, and so that is the reason, am most
of the time dubbed as "an emotional female", so be it, I just love
to keep my feelings alive.

I Love to feel joy, sadness, passion, tenderness, peace, fear,
compassion and over all, the various ranges of emotions
involved in between. May be, I am a people person, that
makes me enjoy all these feeling, even though they cost my
time a lot. In my opinion, we get to live once; at least thats
what I know; so to make the most of it, I need to be able to
enjoy all its varieties, in all its flavors.

My friends and family hold a very special place in my heart.
They are a bunch of people, just like a flower bouquet, with
varied temperament and absolutely different way of thinking.
I am a link between them all. as if I orbit around all these
people, adapting and absorbing their faiths and believes,
and then transforming them into something of my own, with
my patterns and designs to it. The feelings and emotions I
share with them gives me a new facet in the gem of my life.
Every tender feelings I get to share, makes my gem glitter
and shine. Every bit of hurt and sorrow I bear gives a new
hue to my gem of life, making it unique in every way.

For all those people running in the rat race, so as to say,
please take out 5 mins of your day to look around and smile
at the beauty of things there. Please, feel what others feel,
give it a tiny bit of thought, it will not cost you much of your
time and work. Once a week call up a person who you
haven't for some time, and you may make that person's day.
Smile and feel it radiate into the atmosphere around you.

Life will never slow down, this is for sure, but we do need
some commas in it. Where and when we place them, that is
our decision to make, make it wisely. So yes, absolutely,
there is always time to stop and smell the roses. and if there
is a bug, just blow it off, and then go ahead and take a whiff.
Feel every emotions and live life to the fullest.....nothing will
stop you but you yourself from doing so.
