Take life as it comes..

This is exactly what my friend( chose not to mention his name ) told when I asked him to go propose his love.. What he meant was, he wasn't going to take an initiative and he would let things happen.. I felt that he was waiting for something to happen from her side..

I strictly oppose this attitude of his.. "Taking life as it comes" is a great attitude to have.. But, has it said that you shouldn't go for something you like but instead just wait for that something you like to come to you all by itself.. I guess my friend has not understood this statement completely..

Here is my brief explanation of what that saying actually means-

"Taking life as it comes" means that you should'nt be worried when something goes awry.. You have to take that positively and move on.. It just means to be more accepting of the reality that comes our way.. It doesn't mean that we don't panic, show apprehension or turmoil, it just asks us to be perhaps more tolerant and compromising..

"Taking life as it comes" doesn't mean you take it gracefully all the time.. It just means you do not stress big time over things, you do not plan too far ahead you take things as they come, you deal with problems as they appear and do not worry about future problems until you get to that crossroad..

People forget to do certain things in life when it has to be done.. I am not talking about wasting time when you have to study for an exam. I am thinking of - The Dad who forgets to spend time with his kids, the Mom who does'nt understand her kids, the boy who fails to propose his love, the girl who keeps waiting for the boy to propose, the friend who does'nt stand up for their pal, the husband who does'nt care, the wife who nags her husband, people who keep analysing whether or not to commit, the son or daughter who insult their parents, college days spent in sincerely attending classes.... the list is endless right??

Are you thinking how these instances are related to the topic??

Well, we only get a single chance to do certain things in our lives - To love, to bring up a kid, to romance around, to take care, to express our feelings and lot of other things like that...

So, if you miss that chance/moment- Its gone!! How much ever u lament on that lost moment, it will never ever come back.. Never..

I hope that I have made my friend realise this fact and I also hope that I have convinced him to go ahead and propose his love.. Hope he gets what he wants.. Wishing him luck..
Signing off..
