NEW YEAR YEARNINGS

Y is for yearning

The New Year is approaching fast. We’re readying ourselves to extend it a spirited welcome. We yearn that it be a harbinger of peace, prosperity, wellness, equity, justice and happiness for all citizens of the world. We hope and wish that life, in general, would be better off in the coming year.

On a personal level, I’ve decided to issue an advisory to myself. In fact, it is very significant if I’m to keep my creative pursuits happen on an even keel. It is disturbing for me to realize that somehow I keep breaking my daily writing schedule for one reason or the other. I recognize it very well as it disappoints me afterward. The question arises, why can’t I stick to my daily calendar?

For one it is procrastination. It is like the satanic sweet deception. It is always waiting on the sidelines to weaken our resolves. Secondly, minor health issues crop up unexpectedly throwing life out of gear. Then it takes time to come back on track. Whatever the excuses, quintessentially it is more lassitude than anything else.

Friends I don’t have any bucket list this year. I just yearn to make myself take good care of my health and try to be more self-disciplined to carry on with activities which I love doing. I believe that if one can somehow manage to succeed in fulfilling the above two then all else would follow.

Let’s try to ensure a smooth run of the wheels of everyday life, to enable us to be more productive in achieving our goals.

Let us also promise to ourselves and to others that we endeavor to contribute something for the happiness and wellbeing of others.

Friends I’m curious to know if you also face occasional breaks in your artistic activities and how do you overcome that phase? Pl. do share.

Life is sprinting on the wings of time,

Make haste before the last bell chimes!

Friends welcome here as always!
