Life - An Experiment!

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better life turns out to be.

---- Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is life? Why are we living it? Is it necessary to live your life on the basis of the goals we have set for ourselves? Or the rules we have made for ourselves? What is the aim behind it all?

These are some of the questions that continue to plague me, more so recently than ever before. Often when I am alone, my mind drifts towards where I have reached in my life vs. where I want to be. This comparison more often than naught leaves me distressed, disturbed and mostly unhappy (not sad but unhappy). Just yesterday I was discussing with a friend of mine (a very good friend indeed) as to 'where I want to be what I want to do'. And as usual by the time the conversation ended I was unhappy with myself.

Life is truly an experiment. We learn about it with each passing day,we learn how to deal with our stress, we learn how to deal with people around us, we learn how to work on new things both in office as well as back home. Last night could have been like any other, but for a change I tried to reason with myself, to try and get a grip of things happening around me. I learnt that the mind is too unstable, too scattered to be able to let it all go.

We struggle throughout our lives cursing the events around us,wondering if any good will ever happen to us, those our the deepest darkest hours we spent. But in contrast to the times when we succeed, show the world what we are capable of lies the flame that ignites passion within us, this feeling of being able to achieve anything and it is during times like these that we really excel and build memories that last with us for a lifetime. Happiness is around us, we just need to take that one step and grab it. It lies just around the corner when you make your friends laugh, parents laugh or for that matter see a baby laughing! It is when you plan something like a trip, when you think of the people you love, when you smell the rains, see a movie, go out to eat with friends, meet up will college friends after ages, chat with someone online, pull each others legs on facebook, play a prank, drive a car, buy someone a present. All these opportunities are within our grasp, we need to grab them. One should never be afraid to reach out to experiment because you never know which one will change your life, brighten your day and make a moment that shall last for a lifetime! :)

The fear of failure should never stop one from experimenting as that would stop life itself.

P.S. -> Life seems to be my favorite topic :)
