Ten point SOMETHING. .

1. I am not perfect and I will not try to be.

The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things DONE. (Perfect time, perfect circumstance is a myth) And the only way to get things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time. I will try to get things DONE and leave it for the Greater Force to make them fall into place. If they don’t, the “Rise” after the Fall.

2. I cannot, and will not try, to please everyone.
No matter what I do or how I do it, there will always be people that disagree with what I am doing. I will simply and only do what I know is right.

It doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it, it matters how many people do.

3. I will take part in something I believe in.
This could be ANYTHING.
If it connects to me on a spiritual, moral or a psychological ground, I am in!

4. I will prioritize my obligations and do important things first.

It’s the only way to turn a dream into a reality. No exceptions!

5. I will choose my friends wisely.
My friends are the “Family” I can choose. Why goof it up?!

6. I will help others when I am able to.
1. The more I help others, the more they will want to help me. (I am not a Saint!)
2. No fake promises. Hence the “when I am able to”

7. I will focus on the positive.
Or at least try to.

8. I can only be me.
Judy Garland once said, “Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else.” I live by this statement.

9. I will be here now.
Life is happening right now. Instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, I want to practice being and living in the present moment.

Right now is the only moment guaranteed to Me. Right now is life.
I won’t miss it.

10. Life never gets any better, only my perception of it does.
The world around Me changes when I change.

If I awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in my life today, and I pay close attention, I will often find that I am right. THE OPPOSITE IS ALSO TRUE. The choice is mine to make.

Roles

Woke up in the morning. Got a hot cup of coffee from his inamorata. “Good morning, dear” A perfect 'Hubby' rose within him. Came down-stairs. Picked up newspaper and ran through headlines. Came his grandfather. The 'Grandson' in him passed those front pages to him with reverence.


After finishing his reading, in fact skimming, he got ready to jog. Before he got out, his jog-company came. “Good morning, bro” Started jogging with him, now being a good 'Brother'. Half- a- hour. Panting came both back home. He had a hot bath in a quick and went to the kid’s room. Pulling those blankets, he woke up those kids. “Get up and get fresh sweeties” A loving 'Father' he became.


Switching to BBC’s, CNN’s and NDTV’s he started his breakfast. He loves his mom’s hot ghee dosa’s. “Ma, one more roasted”, he said. An affectionate 'Son' he was then. His uncle joined him on table. “What’s hot today?” uncle enquired. “Dosa’s and few political imbroglio’s”. The 'Nephew' in him tried to sound funny.



“Where are my socks?” lamented an annoyed 'Husband'. Finding it himself he passed a flying kiss to his wife who came running. Came to the porch. “Sunil, get the car” a serious, yet a casual 'Boss'. Reached the office in fifteen minutes. Some wished their boss and many others greeted their 'Colleague'. In his cabin; went through all appointments. After an hour, attended a meeting with some business executives who had a visit over there. Few hours of talks, and then concluding them with some deals like a clear-cut 'Professional'.



Work hours ended. Got back home and got fresh. Kids are back from school and had done with home works. An outing with family to attend his best friend’s marriage anniversary. Gifted a tight hug and wished him a long married and happy life. Had a long talk with his dude friend with a sip of booze. Went through all those sunny college days. A 'Friend' in him was awake. Flashing through those good old days, both were enjoying a lot.


Reached back home before midnight. Just before entering gate, saw his neighbor and their family returning from somewhere. The polite 'Neighbor' in him waved his hands towards them. As soon as they entered, they realized the phone ringing. He went and picked up the call. It was from America. His brother and his family. His nephews were happy to talk with their 'Uncle' though they talk almost alternate days. Their mom also had talks with this adorable 'Brother-in-law'. After all chats he went for a chilled shower and then to sleep. He was tired at the end.


What all roles one has to play in our daily life….
Its very true somebody had said, “Life is a drama and we the actors. .”
