Journey so far this year...

Loads of crap happens everyday in our lives - some professional and some of it personal. Life changes, people change and so does relationships. Either the year so far is bad in itself or maybe the bubble of everything superficial that I had been living in, just happened to burst. It has not bothered me so much as to lose my sleep over it. However, like every trouble that passes, I have faced it head on and also learnt my lessons!!

1. Saving is very important, Your financial situation might not always be hunky dory.
2. When in the office, work. Keep your heart, feelings and emotions at home. Office is not a place to make best friends. But its a great place to build contacts and acquaintances. Ofcourse, this depends on the kind of work environment you have or the kind of people you work with. But if you really want to make friends, then choose another department to do so!
3. Some people backstab. Live with it!
4. There will always be people whom you will look at and wonder, "How the eff did they reach where they are?" You might feel they are good for nothing, but the fact is that they are where they are and they must have done "something" right to get there. Go figure out.
5. Relationships do fail. It happens and most times you cannot do anything about it except to let go and move on!
6. No matter how much we try to tailor our lives, biology always wins. They say that human beings are born to get married, set a family, have kids and bring them up. Try going the other way and people will somehow or the other convince you into it!
7. Small amounts of success brings loads of empty ego and false pride. Always have someone at hand who can give you two tight slaps and bring you back where you ought to be.
8. Indulging in something you really love, occasionally, is necessary to keep you sane and normal.
9. People already have too many problems of their own. Do not ever expect anyone to understand yours. If you need help, then ask for it.
10. Everyone has their reasons for everything. You will also have yours one day.
11. Do not wait for happiness to come by. It always arrives when you least expect it to.
