Angles fly because they take themselves lightly

Let’s talk about the well-known – five principle. This is not our regular – 5 questions to analyze the root cause. This is a different question 5 principle. Whenever you face a difficult problem, the tough times are making it harder, you are in emotional conundrum, ask the famous 5 question – Does this matter in 5 years? Simple, that would resolve your issue to a certain extent.

We are overburdened with emotional stress. Everyone goes through that phase. When you are living with people or living away from people, emotions tend to burst out, there would be emotional overload. We don’t have to figure out everything in life. At times, it’s ok to take a step back or go away.

Most of the times, our problems can be attributed to our imagination of those problems. Overthinking makes it stressful and painful. The real problem in front of us may be really being that severe. However, due to overthinking about the same, may cause more pain. Problems are often faced by humans. But, we need to question ourselves, ‘if we are going to make that as a hindrance’ to take a step forward.

Life is not perfect. However, none of us are getting out of it alive too. So, let’s not be so hard and harsh on our own selves. That’s why we have to take ourselves lightly to move further and forward in life. If it doesn’t matter it in five years, don’t waste your precious time on budging on the same issue. Rather invest in your time in what you can change from what you cannot move.

Things change, people change, and time too changes. Whenever you are amidst difficulty, just quote that famous Shakespearean line- ‘this too shall pass’! Well, I often remind myself of this line, whenever I have to tread through traffic. 5 minutes, 5 hours or 5 years, it too shall pass. We say time heals. Time won’t heal in itself. It’s your memories that would heal. Replace bad memories with good ones. Negatives to positives. Make changes in your own self. That would change.

If you keep on dwelling the same problem or instance, incident, you may miss the present. So, live in present with the learning of the past making your time for the future. We should stop taking everything so seriously. Make time to laugh every once in a while, enjoy life and not worry all the time. Avoid worries that would weigh you down unnecessarily. Once we tend to be this way we may tread a path that’s beyond our expectations. If we act as if the entire world problem is burdened upon us, we may not have the time to appreciate life’s beauty, good things, and love around us.

If it doesn’t matter in the long run, then better not waste your time on the same. We should often make time to stand and stare while busy being the spectators of an ongoing life. Memories fade, things pass by, and circumstances disappear. It’s just the happiness that you have enjoyed and experienced, that’s the only things that are going to stay with you. Take yourself lightly and fly high in the sky!
