Soliloquy

The incident had happened a few weeks back. I had felt slighted by someone. The annoyance that surfaced had led me to even wonder if I am petty to have felt that way.

Here is an excerpt fromThe Quiet Room - A Journey out of the Torment of Madness

[I am part of a lost generation, and I refuse to believe that, I can change the world, I realize this may be a shock but, “Happiness comes from within” is a lie, and “Money will make me happy.”]

 Came across this poem by John Reed sometime back when I reflected over the achievements and burning problems faced by our generation. What made this an interesting poem is that when read backwards it bears a different meaning - a sense of hope - that we can and have a say on how we want our future to be. Perhaps, like many things in our lives, we should learn to see things from a different vantage point and be innovative and daring enough to take the plunge to be different. Only with change would we be able to learn new insights about ourselves and our lives.  

 I, for one, have gained a little insight into myself through the video clip and hope that it may have a positive influence on you. Your thoughts?

Something to inspire and tickle your day

A topic that seems to have popped up a lot recently among my young patients have been –“So I’m getting better and want to go back to my previous lifestyle and hang out with old friends again. How do I explain my absence? In the first place, should I explain my absence?”

I am currently reading “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. I have to admit that it is not the usual type of book that I read (I always thought that self-help books are boring and that the authors were just trying to squeeze money from us with their mumbo-jumbo), but I found myself unable to put down the book after reading a paragraph off the 1^st chapter.

I was feeling a little blue yesterday. Things not working out well at various fronts, too many commitments and too little time etc. etc. And then I looked out and saw the most amazing sunset. And , NO I did not travel to an exotic destination to see it. Saw it from my window.
