How can some moments make
you feel ‘alive’, when you are already living a journey all through your
lifetime?
How is it possible to
label only few moments as ‘alive’?
If some moments seem ‘alive’, don’t we live our life along
every breath of the journey?
Before these questions pull you into a philosophical
course, let me take you through some interesting pieces of my imagination. A recent
experience of long drive over a scenic road gave birth to this title. Though we
live our journey as a tale with unique plots and set of interesting characters,
there is more to life than just a routine story with a start and an end.
Several moments enter into our lives with their beautiful feel that take us
closer to the joy of living. Moments marked by love, enjoyment, feelings,
adventures, happiness and surprises, such experiences add some distinct flavor
to our recipes.
One cannot explain these moments in words, but
they do represent something different. Routine course of journey takes us through
several ups and downs. Though these happenings influence our lives in one way
or the other, they cannot impart joy in any way. It is during some interesting moments,
when life seems colorful and joyous. Be it social moments where we meet people
or be it quiet moments when we admire the beauty of nature, be it happening
moments with power packed actions or relaxed moments with no agenda, life is
about such colors always. These moments gain entry into our collection of
memories, as we look at them with happiness. Over a period of time, when life
takes us over a nostalgic lane, these memories spell out joy.
Such memorable experiences can measure the
course of our life. Money, assets, fame and fortune cannot evaluate our tale as
these elements come across as temporary factors. As situations and
circumstances govern our life journey, it is important to live it to the
fullest. Moments of love, happiness, joy and peace measure the depth of our
life. They sow enthusiasm in our system, as we hope to embrace the ultimate joy.
Though we all perform our duties, take care of
responsibilities, ascend through every phase and fulfill all essential tasks as
needed, life is more than any of these things. It is more about loving your own
self and experiencing pure joy. It is also about embracing enjoyment that grows
from within. Though we are surrounded by numerous loved ones that add purpose and
joy to our lives, it is essential to look for happiness from deep within. Once we
experience such moments closely, we are able to live to the fullest.
This chain of thoughts prompted me to list
