Au Revoir, 2021! Welcome 2022!!
Au Revoir, 2021! Welcome 2022!!
An Ode to a year that passed…..
"The Universe beholds each time a heavenly soul descends on earth. Each come with a message for humanity to be Kind, Compassionate, Honest, Righteous, Respectful, Empathetic, and Conscientious. Humanity & Mankind today needs to restart itself to leave a better world for tomorrow. As we start a New Year, a new chapter it's time to deep dive into our souls to Refresh, Rejuvenate, Rethink, & Restart for a better tomorrow." - Kay S
As
we wrap up another year, let’s reflect upon what we HAVE rather than the
HAVE-NOTs. Yes!!!! This has been a very
difficult year for all of us across the world, but I believe we are richer by
experience and tougher in mental strength.
Let us be grateful to be alive and strive to be a better version of
ourselves in the coming year. Let us
start the year with positive vibes and thoughts that will reflect upon us and
the world around us.
The
year has left many thoughts for me to reflect upon and I look back at them in
the most surreal manner as I draw the curtains to a tumultuous year personally
too. To say that this has probably been
one of the most difficult years for those of us who have not experienced any
other pandemic would be an understatement.
Many of us lost our jobs, near and dear ones, health, peace of mind, and
most importantly our freedom to move around like free birds. As I rewind back
and reminisce about the 364 days that have passed, which were almost like the
year before or worse due to the havoc created by the pandemic and the aftermath
of the same, I have this extreme feeling of gratitude. Yes, gratitude firstly
for the mere fact that I am very much alive after fighting one of the dangerous
bouts of Covid-19 and having a near-death experience, but more-so for all the
blessings and prayers I received from friends, some of my family, and near and
dear ones.
Before
I move on, with utmost priority I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude
to the Supreme power of the Universe for giving me another chance to make a
positive impact and leave an impression on this Earth. My Spiritual Master
& Guide, Baba Jaan; the keeper of my soul, Khan Saab; my Soulmate, Tahseen;
my Shehzada, Bilaal; my Godfather, Dutt Saab; last but not the least, my
lifesaver, Dr. Jawali deserve a very special mention because I believe I walk
this Earth again today alive and well because of these special blessed souls
who kept praying and encouraging me to fight each and every single day during
Covid. Very importantly, this is the time, I must thank the two lovely angels I
have given birth to, Sheetal and Shreyas for being the wind beneath my wings
throughout my tough times always. A special heartfelt gratitude to my son,
Shreyas who was my meticulous caretaker who cooked, cared, and nursed me back
to health with his timely supply of juices, fruits, medicines, water, food and
everything I needed. It’s an utter moment of satisfaction as a mother when your
children stand by you like pillars when you need them the most and I would not
be wrong when I say I am indeed the proudest and luckiest mother in the world
for I have that strength from both my kids and I am thankful the Universe chose
them to be my children and me as their mother.
They say that it is during your worst times that you recognize who your
well-wishers are and I believe that really came true for me. I am grateful to
the Universe for bringing my lovely extended family, my aunt, and my cousins
back into my life after 20 long years of my life. Those lovely calls from them
to make sure I am okay during my tough times and encouraging me to hang in
there, be it from Mumbai or Germany was a God-sent message from the Universe
for me to strive to hang in there. Most importantly I cannot but be thankful
enough for my numerous friends across India, Pakistan, Australia, and US who
prayed for my life and well-being constantly for a whole month have been no
less than my life-saving angels from God himself. If I missed any of you who were there for me, kindly know that all of you matter to me and this does not mean I have discounted any of your wishes for me. Thank you.
This
year is already gone and we have a New Year, a new dawn, a new beginning in the
next few hours. As I always mention to
my mentees and friends, Yesterday is History and has passed; today is the now,
the present, an undeniable fact; tomorrow is the future, which although is only
an opinion. Hence, it’s all the more important to learn from our mistakes and
not dwell on them but to move on; concentrate on the present to make the right
choices to define our lives for a better tomorrow. While we are planning and
hoping for a glorious tomorrow, it is important and imperative to remain a
responsible human being but practicing some very important virtues such as
mindfulness, honesty, sincerity, compassion, empathy, kindness, and humility. It is also most important to have utmost
gratitude for everything good and bad that happens with us, for each and every
occurrence is for our better good that the Universe has conspired to put us
through for us to be a better version of ourselves. While we make our life’s choices,
one must be very careful to ensure they are based on how they would want to
live rather than what others would want or would approve of because doing that
would be a beginning of an end or just another catastrophe. Expecting a
certificate of approval from everyone is nearly impossible as people are
different based on their experiences, upbringing, or beliefs; hence, the best
possible way is to agree to disagree and move on as you have come into this
world with your script and you have the right to rewrite, refresh, or
reconfigure it to suit and define you. More often than not, we will face
dilemmas or be at crossroads and it would be refreshing to put the refresh
button and reach out to the Universe which will always guide you either through
a soul or through omens. The fear of the Unknown and our perceptions stops from
achieving or enjoying what we have making us lose our today for an unknown
tomorrow. Time always slips through sands through the hour glass leaving you to
deal or grapple with memories, pleasant and unpleasant alike. Let’s be
conscientious enough to build pleasant memories by fearing fear itself as it
limits us in a world of unlimited opportunities. Let’s aspire to be an Unfinished version of
ourselves to keep upgrading on our version of ourselves.
Before
I say adieu to all of you for this year, I would like to bring your attention
to the most important virtue apart from humility that I believe one should
possess mindfulness. Let us develop the
ability to empty your cuppa called the brain each day to be able to absorb the
lessons of the Universe each day for a full cup overflows and an empty cup
shall absorb. Words are verbal expressions that have temperature and actions
are non-verbal expressions of the mind; both have the capacity to impress,
elate, hurt, scar, or destroy a human being.
Words uttered aloud are akin to fired bullets that can never be
withdrawn. We can never be aware of
anyone’s battles or journey of life if we have not walked in their shoes;
hence, let’s be mindful enough to measure our words before firing them as we
generally tend to hurt people we care about the most. A smile always begets a
smile and defuses tension. Let us all
endeavor to practice mindfulness, positivity, and humility as virtues for
life. I endeavor to pass on the messages
the Universe passes on to me as I everything I write is with the almighty as
the ink and me being his pen. I hope you
shall benefit from this miniscule service of mine to enrich your souls at least
a wee bit.
As
a parting thought, I wish you all a brilliant and Happy New Year 2022 filled
with pleasant surprises, happiness, health, prosperity and success in
everything that you wish you do and achieve in your lives. May the Universe assist to fulfill all your
wishes, big and small! Stay blessed and Godspeed all!
"The Universe registers, records, & responds to all our thoughts and affirmations in multiples without differentiation of positive or negative. The more positive your affirmations, more conducive will be the responses. Hence, think positive & believe in the power of the Universe to conspire and fulfill your wishes!"
