All of us dream of fabulous futures,where things will be a lot better than today,happiness,fame,money, gorgeous spouse,well heeled kids...all the usual trappings that we call a regular life.Pray do tell me ...how many of us spare even a single moment to the thot that in our future we wud no longer be youth ful,our energy at a steady ebb?
    we will let our desires & ambitions continue to dominate us.
   We need to  start preparing ourselves mentally to learn to let go.Be careful what we wish for & whom we curse today  '  coz 
    by now we are quite aware ,
    life is not 'bout what we want,
    or 'bout whom we care ,
    it's full of opposites ,
   & hard to understand paradoxes!
 
  What we crib about today,
  might become tomorrow's way,
   
   How many times have we promised ourselves that When I am a parent -" I'll never be strict like my mom/dad?,will not become a control freak like so n so? will not ever manipulate & dominate like someone else we know?
When I'm old im gonna be graceful & dignified about it  no clinginess, gonna let go  & many other such promises to self .

But the truth is -We will become a sum total of all our experiences,people we come across in our life.
 As our soul would have been nourished by happiness & love ,
also by unhappiness,envy,hate, jealousy etc...

So perhaps a smoother way wud be to STOP thinking of ourselves ,our energy,youth & continous stream of desires as Duracell batteries that go on n on n on.
