Life's happy surprises

Can you surprise yourself?

The ability to surprise ones'self is perhaps the most happy feeling. When you see yourself do something which you had not believed possible. It could be as simple as smiling in the morning, when you are clearly not a morning person, allowing yourself to be calm through a crisis, making a decision and sticking through it.

We have to nurture the ability to truly surprise ourselves. Without it we do not have much to live for. A life of monotony is like a scripted television show with cliches and probable plot. There has to be some unnecessary drama which would make us change who we are, or at the very least shake us out of our routine.

My friends have previously complained that my blogs are very obtuse and never really speak what i am trying to say. To them i say, i cannot give away parts of my life which are very personal to me. Parts which are at the very core of me. My hopes, my prayers, my fears and my desires.

Though i feel very much like talking about it, since i cannot control who reads this blog, i cannot have the world read.

My current surprise is that i can clearly say that my recent trip to Goa gave me a perspective, and i really surprised myself. I was a different person or rather i became a different person.

Go out there, surprise yourself let the waves of happiness crash on your shore.
