Dear Darling Friends,

Paragraph One
I walk down the street.
There is an open sink hole I didn’t notice.
I fall in.
I am hurt. I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault. I cry and complain.
It takes a life time to come out.

Paragraph Two

I walk down the street.
There is an open sink hole I didn’t notice.
I pretend it does not exist.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe my bad luck.
But, it isn’t my fault. It’s all destiny.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Paragraph Three

I walk down the same street.
There is an open sink hole.
I see it is there.
I still fall in … it’s a habit.
It is my fault. I accept responsibility.
I grimace and get out immediately.

Paragraph Four

I walk down the same street.
I can see the open sink hole I knew was there.
I am alert. 
I walk around it.

Paragraph Five

I walk down another street.

I was living paragraphs 1,2,3 for a long time. Life had no progress. Happiness was rare. Today, paragraphs 4 and 5 dominate my life. Hence, if you ask me, “Naren, how are you? My reply would be, “I am on Top of the World.” Progress and happiness are my constant companions.

Which paragraph dominates your life, my dear friend?

With love, prayers and exceptional wishes,

naren
