MEET ME AT THE RIVER
“To
succeed in life, you need three things:
a
wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.”
Beautiful
quotes are like effective capsules… Consumed at the right time, they can make
all the difference between success and failure, just as the right capsules do
to make a difference between health and sickness, life and death.
The other day,
someone told me, that she, regularly, reads my blog posts. But, she added, “Many
times, the quotes that you share inspire me to read your posts.”
I smiled and
confessed, “Many times, it’s the quotes that inspire me to write my posts, too.”
Life and living
are, actually, very complex… We cannot encapsulate them in small pills. But,
then, as I said, consumed at the ‘right time’, the little pills and capsules
can make all the difference…
It, also,
indicates, that the way we choose to live our lives makes our lives complex… or
simple.
For example, for a last couple of days, I have been delightfully watching some FB reels by this little angel, by the name Ginalyn Kurylo, and I came across this capsule:
Now, how often I
have come across this quote, and how often I have used it in my posts, too!
But, watching this ‘badi baat’ from ‘chota muh’ (Not to belittle
the little soul) – made me, literally, sit up and take notice… I found telling myself: “Hey, Life’s complex
lessons can be made so simple!”
Meanwhile, my overcritical
mind keep screaming inside, “Dude, the reel life is not the real life… Does this
little girl know what the three ‘bones of success’ - the wishbone, the backbone and the funny bone - are all about?”
I scream back, “She
may not. But, hasn’t she made me sit up and take note of them?”
Yes, at every
step, along our long journey called Life, we have a choice to make it - a
complex one, or a simple one.
