Unfolding your dreams

Life is fluid and unpredictable. Yet we are always setting goals  in personal and professional life. Come to think of it, isn't it foolish and to a certain extent arrogance on our part to plan ahead? The  unfolding events revealing our path slowly as we move ahead in life, makes all the more reason for us to just go with the flow.

We all like to plan and create our own path, it is considered desirable trait to be ambitious and chart your own course.I am all in favour for it, after all even a river follows a course. Yet wisdom dictates that time is ever changing  and to survive and be happy, we need to go with flow. 

What is life in the end, if not a series of experiences, as fleeting as the drops that merge into a flowing stream? In a nutshell life is not our memories, it is not our plans for future, life is now. Every minute, every breath we take is life. I also feel, that living is meaningless  without connecting with other beings. Every touch, every smile, every tear that we share, every heart that we touch, is what reaffirms that we are alive and kicking.
The people we connect with, open our hearts to, and show our vulnerabilities to, are who in the end complete us . They are the dots  we need to connect to reveal the picture of who we are. Life is in the end all about how much we have enjoyed meeting the people, of lending a helping hand and of joys that warm our heart
We will all pass away,but if we have lived our lives being true to ourselves, living in the present and just accepting that this wonderful opportunity to be part of something bigger than we can imagine is a blessing, an opportunity to traverse the flow of life, we would have lived our life successfully.
