It's over four years since I started this blog (and
abandoned it!) In the intervening time, I have, inevitably, matured by just living. I have become wiser and humbled
up too. Not sure which is the cause and which the effect. I have, quite slowly,
realised that I deserve what is mine and at the same time, am responsible to
others to merit this. I have become my mentee and mentor. While I am my own,
arguably, toughest critic, I have also chosen to nurture myself with the care
and compassion that one usually demands from the rest of the world.
For the longest time, I just blurted out my words, without
care or caution, regarding how it would be received, or even the harm I might
be doing to myself. For as long as I recall, I have been more concerned with
style than substance, with form than function, in whatever I ventured. In many
of my past interactions, I just kept speaking, sticking to my point of view, and
not listening to good advice, when I should have.
But now is always a
good time to start learning and keep learning. In the end that’s all that
matters. I have eventually understood the obvious: If I keep training and learning,
physically, emotionally and intellectually - better health, and increased wealth,
well-being and wisdom are inevitable consequences.
My karma will work itself out, and so, I can stop worrying
and just keep caring!
