We may choose otherwise but it never stops. Life goes on. To keep
up with the challenges, we need to change as well. Change is a paradox in
itself. Survival needs change, so does living and there is a difference. A
stark difference that most of us assume ourselves to know but don’t live by it.
There are times when our own beliefs haunt us, they ask questions that reveal
our ignorance. One of the finest things once legendary Steve jobs said was
about Connecting the Dots, the real essence of the phrase said that when we are
faced with hardships, our life demands change and we must not fear it. We
should change for the better and for the right things in life. The harder part
is we know nothing of the chances that these changes shall give us a better
life but we have to take the leap of faith and believe that things shall turn
out good. And always know that we can never connect the dots looking forward,
we can only do it looking backwards.
When we imagine ourselves a few years earlier, while being kids,
the things we used to say or do makes us laugh now. And we think, how we have
changed in life and for the better. We know that the present moment shall feel
the same when we think of it years later because we will be changes then and
for the better, of course.
There are a few things that one is proud of himself, few
decisions, few moments, and few actions that we are all proud of ourselves. One
of the thing I am proud of myself is the steps I have taken to be what I am
from what I was. Sure, I am not the richest person in the world neither I have
contributed great things to make the world a better place but what I know is
that I am a better person than I yesterday was. And great things are always
accomplished with small little changes.
I was an emotional dumb, holding on to things that didn’t matter
and stressing over things that didn’t exist in the real world, it all happened
in the mind. I don’t remember the time when I was positive in my thoughts and
was always afraid of petty things. Shy of almost anything that involves people
and as numb as one can be when alone. I don’t had any reasons though, but I
didn’t feel any reason to be happy either.
I had lived 15 years in my life and had changed three homes.
Changing homes doesn’t only means changing the place where you reside, it
changes your values, your emotions, the feelings that you associate your home
with. The memories that you have, the experiences you have lived. The people
you have been with. Changing a home, changes your life.
For me, when we shifted to our new home 4 years back, it was a
shift not of the location where I lived but of the person I was. It changed my
life forever since, because of the little changes that it brought along. The
friends that I had, the environment I lived in and the impact that it had was a
paradigm shift.
As I started with, life goes on. We need to move with it to enjoy
it. To live at the same place will always hold a special importance. But when
we decide to move places, see different things, roam around and discover new
places, in the age of internet, it has become a lot easier now to do so, by
means of Housing. They have chosen the most complex
thing in our life and made it as simple as it can get.
Watch this and you’ll know how.
Because, they want to “Help The World Live Better” and it only
happens with unprecedented dedication.
