GO FLY!!

Want to have your feet on the ground? Go Fly. Life is pulling you down? Go fly!

"Are you out of your mind?" You have all the liberty to ask. Please give me a chance to explain my point of view. "Point of view " is what it is all about.

Well, if you feel the need of having your feet firmly on ground, means you have arrived in life. You must have achieved your dreams and then you start feeling as if you are suddenly floating in the air. Understanding fully well, how fleeting and transitory things are, you tell yourself," I can't let success go to my head, I have to have my feet firmly on ground."

Let us imagine another scenario. Life has been tough and you feel nothing is going right for you. You have issues with friends, family, your bosses and in general with life. The chip on your shoulders is getting heavier by the day

My solution for both the cases-Go fly!!

"Fly? Huh? Certainly one can't grow wings overnight. And what's so special about flying on an airplane, anyway? We have been doing that since ages. So what will I achieve by flying?."

You will, you will. You need to fly with open eyes and an open mind, and ask for a window seat, please.

As the plane takes off, look at the city beneath. The tall skyscrapers gradually starts shrinking and they start looking like your Child’s toy. Very soon, they are just tiny dots in the entire canvas. The same way, all your troubles will become insignificant, once you just change your horizon. You just need to Look down on your problems from above. Just ask yourself, will I remember this fight with my wife, the next month? Will my child's marks matter the next year? Will this increment make such a difference to me five years hence.? When you change the horizon of time, they will cease to be as scary and stressful.Just look down from above. There goes your problems and worries.

As your plane cruises along the amongst the clouds, you are technically not on the earth. But even in your absence, heavens have not fallen. Even in your absence, the earth will take 24 hrs for a rotation and the sun will always rise from the east. If you had any feeling of being Atlas and that the Earth rested on your shoulders, you can safely let it go. See, you are flying in the air but the dooms day has not arrived. So let go of all the self importance you always carried as an extra baggage. Life would become so much easier.

Take another look. The city which is actually a giant looks like a dwarf. Millions of tiny dots, those dots are building, every building has many flats, every flats have on an average 3 to 4 people. You can't even see them even if they stood on the rooftops. How insignificant people are!!! They are mere specks , tiny, insignificant little specks in the whole universe .And what big egos these specks carry!!

There you are, I am sure your feet will be firmly on the ground, once you understand how insignificant you are in the vast canvas called universe.

So next time, you are feeling low, or you need to be brought down to earth. Just Fly. No, you need not buy that expensive ticket , you need not board that plane at all. Now you know the trick. Just let your mind do that flying. There is no limit to where you can go. Soar high, fly ,but keep your eyes on the ground. When you come back, I promise you , you will have the perfect balance, your feet on the ground and your spirits soaring high.
