Watching life unfold

Today, i just want to write about life unfold...it has been a year since i got married and all i can say is, i cannot believe it is already a year!!! Last one year is probably the time where i have seen things unfold and on my part, i adopted a quite sedate approach towards life...moderation, probably has been exercised more than what i ever exercised in my life until now, and that i believe is the road for my salvation...not doing anything out of the blue, not being dramatic, but being normal and to say, being quite ordinary...Budhha after 12 years of rigorous penance realized that his salvation (and human salvation) lied in moderation...hence, the whole buddhist idea of moderation...Same goes for me as well, i guess..Not to get to attached to any idea, including the idea of non-attachment. The way, i have read about things, have seen them in the society, i always believed that there should be some grand moment, that brings a life changing moment, but in reality, atleast from my experience, GREATNESS doesn't need a grand entry...why am i talking about all of these? Probably to dispel my own notions of how things ought to occur..Anyways, as i started believing that my salvation lies in moderation, i need to dig that area a little more...the first and foremost obstacle is: our own SUCCESS...it is easy to talk about work-life balance and restraint when we are not doing well, but how can you profess the same qualities when we are doing good? How do we dispel our own greed or yearning for instant success? i think, remembering GOD as well as realizing the fragileness of life...this doesn;t mean that we should start thinking of death and other morbid things whenever our boss smiles at us or when we get a raise, but may be, have a reminder that just life offers us candy, there will be times when it will offer us stones and we should retain our composure in both...Another thing that we need to have is be aware that we are different than others and everyone has to carry on with his own journey, in other words, no peer pressure..sometimes, we feel happy when we see cross by folks, but we shouldnt focus on just crossing people...define, your own journey and stand for it...

As i have promised moderation, i should probably end the blog soon and let my ideas sink in for a while, before writing another one...Until then, adios...
