‘My life needs editing’

I read this yesterday and it resonated with me. Don’t we all need editing in our lives? We all wish to cut some chapters or at least amend them, cut a few incidents, copy some memorable moments and paste them anywhere, anytime we feel like. Isn’t it?

I wish there was an editor who could rewind my life and pull some events out and fill them instead with some nice ones. For instance when I bunked class or went to a movie with my friends instead of studying. But hold on, wasn’t that a part of my growing up? Don’t I look back at that memory with nostalgia? Or when I first went on a date with my crush? Doesn’t that bring a smile on my face even now?

They say life is a story with many twists and turns. But tell me don’t we all love a story, which has twists? Don’t we all enjoy a thriller now and then? Honestly, we would be bored if life ran smooth all the time that is ‘edited’. We want excitement, adventure and the feeling of hanging by our teeth. That my dear friends brings with it events and feelings that may be scary or at least, bitter.

Stability is good but what is stability when you cannot compare it to a chequered life that may not have been smooth but has helped you grow as a person. Our adversities teach us more than our success. Unless we grow, we become not just stagnant but regressing.

I have had my fair share of ups and downs in my life but I would not exchange it for another. They have helped me in asking my self who I am and have propelled me into discovering more about myself than all the ‘gurus’ could do.

Yes, I my life needs editing but editing those traits, which hinder my growth, inhibit my potential and stop me from realizing my dreams. Anything else? None what ever.

What do you want edited? Your unhappy phases or your character traits, which, will make you a better person? Give a thought and start editing.

So be it!!!
