THE GIFT OF RELATIONSHIPS
Fulfil Relationships through your Reflections.
The other day i was travelling, with a few hours left in my journey i thought of looking up at videos my father often shares with me.
I open my mobile and saw — No Network.
I was going through a no network zone.
It was very early in the morning, a very quiet ride, no traffic, no distractions.
With nothing to distract my mind and discard this hiccup, my mind latched onto the present moment and this inability, to experience something that my father shared with me, made me feel his absence, my parents absence, in that moment of my life, bringing back a distant memory.
A very close friend of mine had once asked “Do you realize how much time you have with your parents? How many years do they have left and how many days are you actually going to spend with them?”
One fine morning, you will wake up, happy and cheerful, everything in your day going as you please and you will think to call a loved one and tell them what a great day you are having!………….….and maybe, no, not maybe, definitely! One day, definitely, you will find yourself jolted to the new reality.
The phone may ring and you may smile, waiting for your call to connect. But that day, nobody’s there, nobody on the other end of the line. There is no network.
You cannot see them anymore, you cannot hear them anymore.
Life, has hit you like a ton of bricks.
Be grateful for this gift, to have in life people who love you.
Do not ignore the nature of life, people may leave anytime.
As you move in life, prioritizing work and other things, ask yourself this,
Were you a Son today? Were you a Father? A Sister? A Husband? Wife? Did you go and be what you are to those who love you?
Weave the fabric of your relations & experience fulfillment in your day.
Act Upon These Steps :-
- Connect with Them : Call/Meet with your family everyday.
- Be Magnanimous : In all actions. Imbibe it in your nature.
- Listen to Them : Be a Listener, for elders and little ones alike.
- Encourage Them : At all times, it builds respect and faith.
- Love Them : Unconditionally.
Remember — Everyone is here for a limited time.
Don’t wait for another time. Don’t tell yourself you are busy right now. Don’t keep it for later. Don’t think it is okay and you will explain later.
‘There is no guarantee of the next moment.
Live accordingly. Love accordingly.’
Go Be better Today.
