Most of us are so occupied in our life that sometimes we forget to take a minute to breathe. Being one of the brightest students in my school when I was growing up, I was so busy that I didn’t really get to ‘live’ my years in college and job, except a few years in school maybe. It suddenly dawned on me that this is not the life I wanted. This is not the life I dreamed of. I don’t just want to go to work and comeback. It has become a mundane routine that in some ways has ruined my life.
But yesterday was not the same. I got done with work earlier than usual. Riding my bike on my way back home — with music playing in my earphones — a thought came to mind: Is this the way I want to live my life every day?
I stopped my bike, and pondered over the necessities, the plans I make and their execution. I realised that all these years, I had trapped myself in so many areas and in so many ways, without once thinking about myself — what would happen if I studied something else? Would I have been in a different profession altogether? At the end of the day, for most people, nothing goes as per plan, but do we even search for our pause button within to set things right? I have pressed mine, and I’m now figuring out what will help me to press pause and play in my life as I’d like it to be. It is my pause button for my life after all.
