Life's Clarity

You reach a stage in life where every little thing about life gets clear in front of you; where there is no effort from your side to make your life complicated. A phase of life where being focused starts to mean everything; where you know what you want in life and what you do not; where you carry on living life with no huge amount of expectation from people who mean to you.

Life tells you with all its clarity that every experience has made the present journey possible and there is nothing to repent about. It tells you that what you are today is because of the decisions you took in life. What you are today is the result of the way you chose to react in past and there is this whole awareness that how one reaction can change everything around us.

There comes a time in life where your perspectives towards things change. The word humility starts to attack your conscience and you watch out on the way you treat people around you. You wonder if you can make a little difference to someone who is asking for help; if you can give some hope to someone who is losing faith due to prolonging failure.

Your resilience surprises you; your belief in yourself strengthens with every failure and the only remedy you offer to your closed ones in times of turbulence is to keep faith. We start to have faith in ourselves only when we fall in love with ourselves so much that no decision of ours can hurt us, no reaction of ours can affect things around us in a negative manner. You learn to simplify your life against all odds and you know that the only hurdle that can come in your life will not be because of you.

There comes a point where things around us get so complacent that we move on to desire things in life which go beyond relationships and career. You desire to live with nature and explore the wonderful things on planet Earth which went until now unexplored. Suddenly you feel the amount of time wasted on things that deserved little importance but then you decide to not further brood over it because it too deserves a laugh.
