A man wants to be a free bird, not bound by the constraints of time, money or geographies but in trying to push one of the constraints he gets more strangled by the others. This forms a sort of an impossible trinity or the unattainable Nirvana that everyone dies reaching. I, however, find myself bounded by concrete walls, confined to a small geography. It's amazing how your world shrinks to a 6 acre plot when you do not have enough time on your hand.
This life has exposed the fragility of my concrete resolutions. It's impossible to do everything in life especially when you have so many passions. It is easier to be a master of one than being the jack of all. Prioritizing is the key but very difficult to achieve. I have not been able to prioritize at all and am always playing catching up. A very popular way to prioritize is in order of the opportunity cost of each alternatives but the practical use of this concept is just as alien to me as the others.
In this mad rush what I have missed the most is the little spells of self-reflection that help in streamlining the life. For the past six months I have not seen my life in perspectives. It's like driving so fast that all that's on your mind is survival. For a man who wishes to be on a cruise soaking in the nature this has been ironical. This is when you realise that maybe you have not been yourself these past few months.
Writing this blog is a way to reclaim my territory beyond these walls but it took me 3 days to finally get this done. Almost everyone knows that their life is not about these four walls or these couple of years yet they are sucked into believing that this is their life and they write success or failure right across it. It's astonishing to see people cry over little failures or small disappointments. I hope I get some perspective back into my life.
