Bcoz this is your first life

A popular K-drama with the same title propelled me to really think hard if we need to live out our entire life guided by the pressure to conform to social expectations.

Are we really living our life channeling our desires or being part of race with no seeming end ...!!

Passing exams in flying colors, graduating with a competitive job offer in hand, getting married and then making sure that our kids also join the mad hunt even before they are setting foot in kindergarten............sorry if that sounds like a crib!!!

Yes, that sounds like a crib and not Life, i would say!! 

Experiencing a gamut of emotions at each milestone fueling our sense of achievement to reach its zenith.

Plagued by a bounty of questions with no answers in sight.... I found myself doing a lot of soul searching. 

Why do i feel jaded due to the monochromatic daily routine, if I am on the right path?

Why am i looking always to out-do myself to achieve the sense of gratification.?

Why do i need constant validation of my actions for actionable assurance from near & dear ones?

Don't do anything just for the sake of doing it....bcoz this is your first life !!

Seize every moment and turn it into a memorabilia.

Find your thoughts which channel your core wishes, deep desires, heart beliefs.

Learn to love & respect yourself first bcoz this is your first life :-)
