Eyes wide open

Hello Readers

 I hope you all are doing well.

 My soul is not asleep, it is awake, wide awake. It neither sleeps nor dreams, but watches, its eyes wide-open far-off things, and listens at shores of the great silence. 

 -Trou Aikman

This piece was lying in my drafts for almost a year now though I would finally write about it today.

It is one of the simplest things to understand, and it is very accurate and happens in our lives often.

From the time you jump out of your bed, many personal and public incidents happen in a day in your life.

 Some may be your routine, and many more pleasant and some unpleasant ones.

Of late, I am not labeling incidents as good, bad, and ugly; what I feel is the truth, and we must learn to face it.

Conversations are an essential part of our day. We reach one step closer to our goals.

Each successful conversation is a good thing; it opens new opportunities, learns new things, or even builds new relationships.

Sometimes, we fail to see the larger picture of a conversation and jump to conclusions, and eventually end up in fights and arguments that can be avoided.

Even you can win the toughest of conversations with people. You forgo your ego and biases in exchange be open-minded; half of your issues are resolved.

I see many tussles go on due to miscommunication picking wrong lines in a conversation, and sometimes pushing the pencil on others because it was a bad day.

We need to keep our eyes wide open all the time and smile; please realize we have one life, let us make most of it and do some good to this world and pass it on to the next generation.

Think macro, leave the micro dejections, frowns, and disappointments.

Connect with your friends, have a great time, make your life simple and a happy one!

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!
