Birthdays are overrated!
The only thing that comes to my mind when people remind me that my birthday is around the corner. But, thanks to my dear friend Jigal who made it a point that I make a big deal out of it.. so, here I am writing a blog-post to myself about things I have realized from life and people as I celebrate my silver jubilee..
1. Stop being there for friends/people who expect you to be around forever and not move an inch when you are in trouble.
2. Stop settling for friends/ people who make you feel different from yourself. Trust me they are not your friends.
3. Stop doing things you don’t like. Don’t force yourself.
4. Don’t work for other people’s dream.
5. Stop taking your work as a 9 to 5 thing. Be passionate about it. If you can’t find satisfaction in your current job, find a new one.
6. Talk when you are sad. Get things out of your system. Remember, nothing is important than your mental health. If anything is affecting you, it will affect your work.
7. Walk more. Observe things. Smile at strangers.
8. Indulge in healthy discussions. You will come up with points you never thought of.
9. Be a good listener. The world needs more of that.
10. Have patience. Good things take time.
11. Nobody can teach you anything. You pick your own lessons, you decide your philosophy.
12. Always be honest when people ask for your opinion. They will feel bad initially but that's okay.
13. Enjoy your own company.
14. Learn to save money.
15. When nothing goes right, ask for a hug.
16. Help people without any reason.
17. Take care of at least one kid's education and watch them doing well in life.
18. Family comes first.. friends come and go.. relationships go for a toss but family remains the same.
19. Fall in love truly, madly, deeply. Do not cheat.
20. Be someone's 3am friend.
21. Its okay to sleep for 12 hours once in a while.
22. Travel. :P
23. Laugh at yourself.
24. Don't take people for granted.
Zindagi Gulzar hai. Cheers!
