As I Sit by the Window..

As I sit by the window, I realised that my life moves on, just like the clock that ticks and the clouds that flow by. I realised that sometimes, I am the change I am looking for and that change is sometimes internal. It is something I have to make happen, as that change cannot otherwise, occur.

As I sit by the window, I realised, there are more things in life to worry about, more than the petty issues that do seem the world at the moment. I realised that I need to think big, and dream big, because nothing can stop that. I also realised, that whilst dreaming, I have to enjoy the present. Because, the present it is a lovely gift, wrapped in a not-so-good-looking wrapping paper at times that I just have to deal with.

As I sit by the window, I realised, that the days will change and the moments too, just like the sun that passes behind a fluffy cloud, or the rain clouds that comes in. I realised that whether my days be rainy or sunny, I have to walk on, as life is not going to sit around waiting for me, but I have to keep abreast of life. I and only I have the power to control my life.

As I sit by the window, I realised that I can fly, just like the birds outside, as I am not shackled in my imagination and thoughts. Even though I may be restricted in some ways, I realised that I have the power to overcome those obstacles and give myself wings to fly. I realised, it only takes a moment to see this.

As I sit by the window, I realised I am my greatest friend, and that I need to help myself grow from strength to strength, because if I do not help myself, no one will be able to do so. I realised I am my greatest source of happiness, as others will walk in and out of this home called life, but I will always remain with me.
