Life begins here and now... Let's go exploring...!

NO, I don’t care where you come from,
Nor do I care what you do.
What you thought is your prerogative alone
What you did about what you thought, and what you faced due to it, is your cause and effect ping pong game.

Then why am I writing this?
I hope you and I will both find out by the end of this.

The name of this blog was thought out to be Life begins here and now by me and my best friend, the mastermind behind this blog, and the co-author of it.

And at that time all that was running in our minds, was to get started on a blog where we can put our day to day experiences and also the experiences of our past to be brought to the foreground, ‘coz it might just help someone, or if it doesn’t, then just bring a smile to them.

Now this post started with a disclaimer about how you don’t really matter. But it isn’t entirely that.
What it really points towards is your past (Or atleast that is how it is intended to be).

The past is basically the definition of who we are. You ran through 16-20 years of your life studying to be able to stand where you are today, or you are still running that marathon. No one has to really know the ABC song, but learning ABCs are imperative as they help you with your communication. No one today cares how fast you learnt your spellings or how difficult was it. What they do care is how well it has affected you, and how well it reflects in the visage you present today.
Ergo, every aspect of your past, your ABCs, your Numbers, your algebra lessons, your geography lessons, your science experiments, further onto your technical, medical or other commercial courses have all taken place for one reason, to prepare you to stand where you are today.

In the very same way, apart from your academics, you have faced spiritual and emotional downfalls and uplifts, you have seen moments of extreme joy and sadness, you have seen acceptance, you have seen rejection, you have seen hope, you have seen hopelessness, you have seen contentment, you have seen depression, and all these have again taken place for one reason, to prepare you to stand where you are today.

See what I’m getting at??

Essentially speaking, every moment of your past, from the moment you were born, until this moment that you are reading these lines, you have been a work in progress. Your past has been an instrument so that you fully appreciate what is coming ahead. Just like you appreciate the beauty in a tall mountain by recalling the lessons about the geographical phenomenon that took place for it to come about.
You were being prepared…..So that you are ready when Life begins.

And Life begins here….and Now.

See the point? All the events that transpired before this moment have all been to prepare you to face Life which begins right now. This very moment.

But unlike a traditional start-stop rat race (which the popular media has hammered into our minds) Life’s starting points aren’t relegated to being 1 or 2

Life begins anew everytime you learn something new, everytime you experience something different, everytime you see something never seen before and go “WOAHH”

For a student who is in the process of starting his/her graduation, your life begins NOW, for until this moment, all you have been through is to prepare you to begin your graduation.

For a mother with a newborn, your life as a mother begins NOW, until now you were just a woman, now you are a pathway to heaven for the little angel in your arms.

For a random teenager or a youth who is reading this from his/her bedroom or office, your life begins now….your mistakes and your triumphs were nothing but board pins which have charted your lifeline in a multidimensional format so that one fine day when you are lying and waiting for the angel of death, you look back and go, “Awesome”

Or “Damnit” (for the more stupider of the people reading this, who love being a depressed negative witless wonders)

No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, consider life to begin NOW, this very moment. And look at everything that has passed before as a coaching lesson to prepare you for this very moment. This very moment where you will elevate yourself beyond what you ever were.

Some famous old timer once said, “No one can change the past, but anyone can begin today and make a new tomorrow.”

Loads of wisdom in that old dingbat.


SO…. NO, I don’t care where you come from,
Nor do I care what you do.
What you thought is your prerogative alone
What you did about what you thought, and what you faced due to it, is your cause and effect ping pong game.

What I do care, is where you are going from here, What you do from here on, what you think from this moment, and what you face due to it. Because whether you like it or not, I am now a part of your immediate past, a past which has taught you something very small about beginning every moment a new.

Congratulations, Your life just began anew ;-)
