I Accept the change, do You?
We always have fascination towards lot of things but when it comes to passion, we choose something which we can connect to at a deeper level and what gives us adrenaline rush. As a teenager I was fascinated with the military life so much that I couldn’t think of anything else but becoming a proud, discipline and responsible citizen of my country. An army officer. Those were my thoughts when I was growing up in the army premise. I was passionate to learn everything about their lives and live the adventure.
The fancies of our life changes with time and experiences and also the exposure we get plays a very important role I believe. The moment I finished my studies and was entering the new phase of my life, I was exposed to the new possibilities in my life. The fantasies changed and so the passion. My dream now was to become a software professional. I worked hard and made my dream come true. As it is said your deep desires always gets fulfilled but in its own way so it did. I worked with various firms but not exactly the way I wanted to. I accepted what came into my path and enjoyed it. The more I started putting efforts the more I reached closer to my dreams and that made me feel fulfilled. I lived my dreams finally and there I had a sense of satisfaction.
Life and time keep changing as in Yoga we say nothing is permanent. When I finally felt I am stable and things looked great, here comes the moment of change. I got married and it was again an irony, though I did not join forces I got married to a young disciplined officer. I finally got the taste of life I wanted at some time but again in a different way. My deep desire was fulfilled in its own way. It was strange and amazing at the same time. I welcomed the life and embraced every moment of it. Life seemed perfect and the time changed again. We moved to a different place at the transition state of my carrier. I was about to be promoted but I had to leave my job and move to this new place where I had no opportunity to work. I made a choice to embrace the change again and I did not regret it much and as the time passed life started changing for me really fast and to my surprise those changes were always for my good I felt. Though I was not able to work, I used my time productively engaging myself into learning new skills and hobbies. The next move was very quick, before I could feel relax and settled, we were again in the different city. This time rather me looking for a new job, the job found me. I got an opportunity to work with my dream company and I sailed smoothly with this change again. I think the secret was to accept the change and work your way through.
New job, new people, new challenges again. And now I had gotten used to it. We had initial struggles with the whole idea of living apart in the different parts of the city but later we realized it as an opportunity to relive those bachelor times. Changes are good and always gives you an opportunity to grow. I was ready for a my very much expected change in life again. A year of working and I was jobless again. We moved. At the peak of my carrier this time it was hard but I knew I had to accept it so why not accept it with open heart. With every loss there is a chance to gain something new. The void that universe create in our lives is always with the intention to fill it with something better. This has been my belief from all my experiences that I gathered all these years of ups and downs. This change was the most beautiful change in my life. And the reason was letting go and embracing the moment you have in your hand.
My life had got a different meaning now. I was introduced to Yoga, the most precious knowledge of life. I found my new love. And since then, life has taken a new turn for me. Now the path was so clear and straight for me.
It is said and I have too heard that things happen to you at right time. I am glad that right time has arrived and I am more than excited to explore my path. I am a Yoga teacher now and teach Yoga whenever I get the opportunity. It’s a great experience and the real joy is when I am able to deliver to the satisfaction of my students. I like to keep adding value to the lives by going little overboard in my classes after all Yoga is all about becoming whole. I am grateful for all the things happened to me be it good or not so pleasant. They all teach me how to be patient and compassionate. The joy in giving and surrendering to the God’s will. The moment we start holding on, we start missing out on so many moments that we would have been grateful for in later life. Life keeps giving us more then we wish or desire but we keep closing our doors to it due to our ignorance. We have to do just one thing, open our arms and embrace everything. He will not give you handful but you will be submerged in his love.
