Don’t you feel happy to return to your ship?

Life is all about everyday new challenges, struggles, explorations, discoveries, voyages etc. We all keep sprinting across the throngs of people, in search of our identity or in pursue of our dreams. In today’s ambitious world, people often feel they are self sufficient & quite capable of managing themselves. To be candid we all are quite capable of taking care of ourselves in one or the other manner. But, don’t you feel when the sun sets & when the day’s journey is over for you, you should return to your ship? Don’t you feel when the day is over & you go to bed, you need to share about the new experiences of the day? Aaaaah....!! Caught you!! Everybody feels the same!! This brief post of mine is all about acknowledging & valuing the importance of those ships of our lives.

We all have a set of dreams, ambitions, targets & passion in our lives. Every day when we get up in the morning, we think it’s another opportunity to drive closer to where we want to be!! People start energetically their journey for the day, either alone or with some of their companions. The whole day they toil hard oblivious of the fact if it’s taking toll on their mind or body. While travelling back to their respective dwelling places in the evening, it just feels exactly like returning to your ship after the day’s hardships. When I am talking about “the ship,” I am not talking about the concrete build four walled house, where you are returning to. I am talking about someone waiting for you or you waiting to see someone eagerly. Strange!! You would say what has it got to do with my day’s hardships?

You might become the most famous person of this world. You might achieve all your ambitions which you always craved for. You might also become what you dreamt to be. But then, would you really be happy at the end of any day, while you sleep? I am sure the bells in your head would have already started ringing. Yeah, I am talking about when you, at the end of the day, sit back & relax yourselves or rejuvenate yourselves for another journey, the next day; don’t you feel the importance of being on your ship? But, do you acknowledge the importance of that person who makes you feel that your day is complete now?

“The Ship,” that I am referring to is none other than whom you would love to return to at the end of a tiring day. Someone special, whom you would like to hug & say, “Now, I feel rejuvenated again. I am no longer tired now.” Don't you feel like talking to someone (may be even over phone) or just to think about someone who can make you smile after a long tiring day? It can be your mother, your father, your brother, your sister, your special someone (partner / best half) or simply a friend. Life is like a race & if you won’t run fast you would lose –heard it somewhere? Yeah, the famous dialogue of character of Mr. Viru Sehastra Budhhi from the movie 3 idiots. But, always remember that often in our quest to chase our dreams, ambitions or passion, we forget to acknowledge the fact that our loved ones are also running with us, till the time we fall & they bend forward to pick us up!! Please avoid such situations.

By today’s post, I would like to make everybody a little wary about their chase. We all love to fall back on someone at the end of a tiring day. We all love to share our dreams & the success when we reach at the zenith of our dreams. We all would love to rest on the shoulders of someone whom we love, when we are down, to make ourselves rejuvenated once again. We all want to return to our “respective ships” after the long & hard voyage. So, let’s acknowledge the importance of them from today onwards. Let’s value the existence of them in our lives. Not everybody is as lucky as we are to have a ship which is waiting for us with both arms widely opened to receive us, at the end of a hard day.

Let’s call them today & tell them how much we love them. I salute to all those ships!! Just one word of affection, love & acknowledgement would make them happy. So, please value them in your lives just as you value your dreams & passion. Cheers!!
