Yeah that's right. The power is back and with it all the blinding smiles. Guys put on your sunglasses coz we are smiling and smiling wide.
So it has been a mixed day so far for me. I start the day with uncertainities, then have a good lunch session with a friend, come back and land up in a crisis situation, have a brain picking meeting with boss, and then end the day being philosophical. The thing is a friend of mine is getting married and has started feeling the nervous jitters. Now I might not know a whole lot about marriage. But yes I do know a lot about self doubt.
There have been times in my life where I have worked damn hard for something. But then when I get close to achieving it I very unceremoniously step back. Not because I don't want it anymore. But because I can't believe that I am finally getting it. It just becomes too good to be true. And with it comes the uncertainty of what next. I get scared of the fact that I finally did it. At times I pinch myself to remind me that its finally happening. It's right there in front of me. I just have to take a step ahead and embrace it. But that final step becomes too heavy for me.
My friend today went through the same phase. He can't believe that he is finally getting married to his beloved. He can't believe that their struggle is over and the good days are sneaking up to them. But what I have learned from life is that every time you are afraid to take that final step stop and take a deep breath because you are finally getting what you have always deserved. If it was not meant for you then you would have never reached this far. It's your heart's way of telling you that yes take that final step and claim what's always been yours. So my friend, you know who you are, go ahead she is waiting for you.
