Here is to you!

Photo of Satish and me clicked by my son on a day that I achieved something that meant the world to me.

Whatever brought you to where you are today did not come about by chance. You rose because of the decisions you made. You might have made a few choices which seemed absurdly silly and foolish  in retrospect. There might have been things that went out of your control no matter how much you tried to make it go the way you wanted it to.

You might have spent sleepless nights over the outcome, crying (maybe internally), asking questions, wondering, suffering, wishing to be somewhere else but where you are.

But each one of those times, when your prayers were not answered, when your hopes were dashed, when people you depended on left you stranded, when you were suffering , you without your knowledge were growing in character, in mental strength and fortitude. You were learning life's lessons, as hard as it might have seemed at that time.

The older I get, the more convinced I am about it.We make mistakes.We're here to learn.

Forgive those who caused you hurt. It might be hard. But that by itself is one of life's greatest lessons if you think about it.

Smile a lot.
Be kind.
Appreciate.

But most of all never ever stop chasing your dreams.
You have just once life.
LIVE it!

Here is to You! *clink*
(and yes, all your dreams WILL come true. Don't ever give up)

Cheers
Preeti
