A
tall handsome man, not dark, but just fair enough for his masculine features to
be evident, chiseled jaw, and deep brown eyes, dark hair and broad forehead,
and smelling of musk and wood in winter evening, on his knee, with a smile on
his lips and ring held between his fingers, looking admiringly at you and you
can feel in fast breath and his pounding heart wishing you to be his forever.
And in your heart of heart you always knew this dream of yours would come true.
All you wanna do now is say ‘Yes’ and live that bliss forever with that special
someone.
Or
you are that one guy who has been searching for that soul mate ever since you
knew what love could mean, and you finally think you found it in your best
friend? She’s been with you since as long as you remember, and she’s that
perfect girl who can be your passionate partner, your adorable buddy and your
wife all at once. She’s your strength and weakness, but you still can’t seem to
realize how did that feeling of friendship changed to love! But one thing you
know for sure is that you want her to be yours forever, and what’s making you
smile now is that same feeling you can sense in the way she looks at you!
Finding
a long lost love, getting married to the one you always saw in your dreams,
hearing I love you from that one single most special person in your life,
getting surprised when you least expected. What are these? Or think, hearing
back from that company you’ve been sending your resumes to for last 4 yrs,
getting a promotion just when you were planning to make a big investment,
getting posted in your dream location, or knowing that you’re gonna have a baby
just when you thought life had slowed down.
These
are all the perfect moments we can ever imagine. Love, career, family, money.
Most of our dreams revolve around these. And we call it perfect when
any of those come true. As long as this is what it means, it’s all good, but
what not is, when we start expecting our life to be perfect. The truth is, it
cannot be. Because its life, it’s not a collection of dreams.
If
all of what we want comes true, what fun would it be to dream anymore? To try
anymore? To wait for a surprise? to wait or that special weekend? To plan those
trips? The real fun is in the chase, and we all know it! That courtship period
is a million times sweeter than that final day when you exchange the rings!
Why? Because nothing can be compared to that anticipation, that heart which
seems to be pounding inside your chest, those eyes which keep sending prayers
heavenwards every second moment, and finally that joy when it all comes true.
But even when it doesn’t, don’t keep regret, cos you did all that you could to
make your dream come to life. That’s what life is about – to die without
regrets.
Even
when nothing is perfect, you can try making it. And good thing is, perfect
keeps moving its flag post! So it can actually get better every time. Have a
bad relationship? So what if its not the perfect thing to have. No one wants a
messed up relationship. Try putting in more efforts, try looking at that side
of his/her which was never shared till now. It’s a simple fact – when you want
things to get better, stop doing what’s not working.
God
is just playing chess with us. His move is not a challenge, it’s an
opportunity, and our move is Life. Dreams come true, when he just places his
pawn at the exact square when we wanted him to! But even when he doesn’t, big deal!
Game’s not over just there anyways, right? One good thing again, God never
checkmates us, till we finally give up.
Dream
big, Try harder,
Love
more, forgive easily and
Smile
like it all is just the way you wanted.
'Cos
another good thing about perfect is –
It
never is….
