We all miss that CHILD in us, who was carefree, naughty (Masti-Khor) and soc innocent. We never had to hide our emotions, we could easily express our happiness, joy, sorrow, anger, excitement, fear and shame. We never had to pretend and act considering how the other person might feel. We used to balance out everything.. that's the reason we used to sleep peacefully in nights because we used to right off all our worries and dues to start afresh the next morning.
There was one more thing which specifically our childhood has and gradually we forget while growing up. In our childhood both SUCCESS and FAILURE were very short lived but had equal importance and impact. We used to celebrate our success even if it is just about finishing the glass of milk first..with so much enthusiasm and felt so happy.
Similarly, our failures were also taken the way they should be. We used to cry our heart out and then very next instant let it go very easily never really took it our hearts unlike the times now we do, instead we used to brace ourselves for the next challenge and always ready to go for that next round of BOXING, even it was earlier decided to have only 3 rounds...:P
But now as we grew up things too a different turn, SUCCESS is now short lived and we mainly focus on showing it off others and how HAPPY we are with it by throwing a lavish party but at the back of our minds, we keep on thinking about something bigger and do not enjoy the present SUCCESS thoroughly. Its all because of the overtly ambitious....MODERN RACE OF EXCELLENCE !!!
On the other hand our FAILURES, they are much more longer than our SUCCESS. We keep on struggling to come at terms with our failure while pretending to be alright and put up a facade of being MATURE..instead there is no best solution other than crying out aloud to vent out your sorrow and anger...this is the natural mechanism..
we keep on accumulating one failure after the other in the corner of our minds and heart and the one day either it BURSTS OUT or we go deep down in the pit of DEPRESSION..
Nowhere it is written that being a grown up, we need to lose our childhood or lock up that child inside. We can grow up and mature while keeping the child inside us ALIVE and FREE..!!!
Try to enjoy this grown up life in the companionship of the child inside every now and then to live life the way you a s a child would live..
do not lose your CHILDHOOD!!!
