Today is Election Day. And I have no idea who the candidates are, and who will get my vote, But I will vote all the same.

The importance of being proactive

I went to vote this morning at 720 am.

It’s an activity that takes only 10 mins.

The election commission organizes it all so well, so as to ensure we are able to get on with our lives after doing our civic duty. Its close to home, arranged by building names and its grossly over staffed…to ensure efficiency.

So why do we need a holiday on Election Day?

We don’t.

As the people who are going to go to vote will go to vote irrespective, and those who don’t…well they just won’t.

This brings me to the moot point

Proactive…..

To be able to make it happen

The daily humdrum does go on

But to make it enriching and meaningful for our selves…considering its the only life that we’re going to have……….We have to get out there and JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!

To enable our life to rise above the mundane

To do what WE really want to do

With the risk of sounding preachy, I say:

That’s what is called living

But one of the most important thoughts which I have embraced in the near past is ,that each day comes only once in our life…to be able to maximize it –by living it up…….and to rise above the grind…..its like a machine in which the sound hums in the background but we mistake that for music…..

Music is what we create with our joy, smile and laughter.

Love, faith and happiness.

All simple words-with simple meanings……

For some of us this comes easily but for most of us its a challenge…but it can be an acquired skill given time and effort so that it becomes a part of our life

So people ..as the diwali holidays approach…….we should make an effort to find meaning in our lives…..not anything profound……..but living in the moment and doing what our heart desires.
