Contrary to the past years this year I spent 31st December not at a party, but at a friends house with his mother, aunt and uncle and kid cousins…in effect – a party of various ages. We didn’t celebrate the beginning of the new year…but we celebrated life…in honor of a member of the family who passed away in the morning who believed in living.
It’s times like this, spending a quiet night, talking..swapping stories…that puts life into perspective. It put’s into focus what is important and makes you she away all the materialistic blinders that prevents you from looking at life for what it is and making the most of it. Life isn’t only about your job or about money. I’m also toying with the idea that life isn’t about obtaining happiness. Life…is about experiences..its about experiencing everything that life throws at you and living it…feeling every emotion and enjoying every second of it...
I hope this year brings with it lessons in life that help me grow and understand things better…to that end I resolve that this year shall be the year where I sort out my teenage level issues and grow up in to the 25 year old…I have spent quarter of a century fighting life and its lessons…for the next 25 years I will constantly grow, constantly experience life, love more, fight less, laugh more, take responsibility and learn to decipher between right and wrong.
More realistically – I will travel more, allow my self to love unendingly , maintain my relationships with my friends and family who mean something to me.. talk more..listen more..the worth of your life is measured in the quality of the relationships you maintain and not the numbers…if you are surrounded by love and can always love ..it doesn’t matter if u have one person or a 100 people around you…numbers don’t matter…
Its time to stop searching for happiness…and just be happy.
Happy New Year 2012!!
