Wisdom In Paradox

By Aaditya Menon

Time is a paradox - choices today, result in outcomes which in turn become choices for another time.

At the threshold of a new beginning, praying for the wisdom to focus on a magical seven for our prime.

Hope - Nurture it, strengthen it, feed on it and let it be the reason to forge ahead despite the challenges.

Inspiration - Find someone to be yours, allow yourself to be someone's, and ensure it all balances.

Respect - Be humble and generous with it, bias and judgement have no place to determine one's worth.

Faith - In the ones you see, the ones you believe, let it be pristine, pure and unadulterated, never in mirth.

Forgiveness - Let bygones be bygone, hold not to toxicity; Give a chance just as you would be given one at redemption.

Gratitude - Too much is never enough. Take nothing for granted. Look for a blessing in every conception.

Love - Give your all, desiring only to see their happiness, knowing fully well, it may not be requited, now.

Life is an exciting journey, exploring new facets, wondrous and daunting yet so fulfilling, bells-whistles in tow.

A toast, then, to a period of prosperity, abundance, happiness and togetherness - May you shine in the time ahead!
