Grow old!

As you grow old, become mature, you try to be fundamental about the philosophy of life... you start to accept how things play out, how reacting or may be not reacting to a certain situation, sometimes, can make you so proud! So as you grow old, this feeling of accomplishment and completeness makes you who you are! And when I say grow old, I don't mean it in time, I mean it in experiences! The greatest leanings come to you when you are out there... in the field !

Ironically, its the very nature of your questioning the understanding of the world that makes you settle down with it, makes you take that extra step, go that extra mile which changes your life! Questions about whats going to come next? what am I going to do? who is going to support me? who am I going to trust/love/hate? what would people think of me? man, why am I so confused?
Trust me these are some of the beautiful questions that you should embrace! In the quest to find certainty in this game of survival called LIFE, you take that big leap which either makes you or breaks you! More often than not the latter !

So you ask, why go for it if there are more chances of it breaking you! Why not just let it come to you. 'IT' being the bundle of experiences. Well, let me tell you my friends, there is only one law that sums up the essence of your life expectancy - 82 years (on an average): and that is:

"experiences don't want you, you need'em"

There will always be someone else concurring the Himalayas, if not you! There will always be someone else to win a Nobel prize, if not you! There will always be someone else who have that billion dollar idea, if not you. There will always be someone else to make the world go crazy about musical tunes, if not you. There will always be someone else who will be there, if not you!

It DOESN'T matter how vulnerable, how confused, how overwhelmed you are! You can always find people who care about you, you can still find peace, you can still find answers to your questions! You always do! The question is not  about 'whether you can?', it is about 'will you?'

...so go for it.. grow old ! And when I say grow old, I don't mean it in time, I mean it in experiences!
