Life complications

Is Life as complicated as we make it. Cant it just be simple and straight forward. We love adding different specimens and worrying about what can happen without really enjoying what is happening . Who knows what life has for us , and all we need is belief in ourselves to make it happen. If you have been true to yourself , follow your heart. Life always throws us choices. It is which choices to make that we can be confident about and not scared about.

We all live once and we should just let go,  without thinking and overthinking about what ifs. The society is capable to take care of themselves and so are you. One should only be god fearing , not people fearing. If people have to say something they will, if people have to be jealous they will be, if people have to be insensitive and mean they will , even if you dont feel they should. But it is their insecurities that are talking, that you donot need to cater to.

We always live trying to fulfill everyones expectations but never stop to think what are our own expectations of ourselves and are we fulfilling those. Is image soo important that you forget your happiness.

Peace of mind is most important without which nothing is possible and some decisions you have to leave it on the person to make for themselves.

Confusion

Soo many things to do but so little time to get it done. I always thought at my age and stage i would have achieved soo much more, knew exactly what I wanted out of life and everything would be planned out and I just had to follow a certain path. But life is unexpected and dynamic. The direction you want to move , is affected by a number of different circumstances.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a policewoman, lawyer, a detective and what did I eventually ended up doing is being a boring corporate professional . Is this all I want of life or there is much more. When i thought I had it all figured and ventured into CSR , I only realised that I am a pseudo CSR person- who wants to do community work but only if its restricted to urban organizations- does that really make me an actual CSR person.

After much speculation I realised I could do what i enjoy most- mentoring young people and incorporating CSR in whichever department I am in. People go for years trying to find their passion. I feel my passion will keep changing over time and adapt according to what I want at that time.

Is this confusion only of one me - a woman approaching her 30s or its for all of us youth , who r just impatient with ourselves .

New beginnnings!

Did I really know what was CSR when I saw the posting first on my company Intranet but it seemed to be the new buzz word. This New year I had decided that it was time to take calcuted risks, follow my passion and dreams and live a life that i want to make , rather than what i felt had been designed for me. It was a jump which I had to make , but was it part of who i really was. The question was who was I, what made me happy, what fluctuated my moods, what gave me a high. After thorough introspection - the one thing that came in my mind was my experience at Salaam Baalak and children - i had to find a job that blended my passion for teaching and love for kids - was this what i had been waiting for all my life!

Two months into my new role , I know the answer to some of my questions - CSR is my true calling, its what makes me happy and give me the high i was soo looking for all my adult years. Just being able to give smiles around - makes me soo satisfied and has giving life a new meaning, a new beginning.

My dreams look more real now and I feel more at peace with myself. Is this what they call Content!
