7AM lessons in life from Dad.

My dad told me that he valued life for every moment it gave him, every lesson it taught him and for every hardship that he survived.
We all complain about life and its hardships and our strange little encounters with this misunderstood entity, fate. We all complain that God (or the substituting supernatural force that governs us) is being unfair by making us trudge through hardships. But no one looks back and is grateful for having survived every hardship. No one thanks that external governing force for giving us the power to endure and brave these hardships.
I'm not an exception to this. Not even today. But my dad is. And I want to be. Because hardships give you the strength to fight back adversity and recognise the value of our fortunes.

Let It Be

Preconceived notions can be the death of something beautiful. The human nature makes having these notions inevitable but at the end of the day it's up to us as to whether we should let these notions get in the way of our external behaviour and relationships. And it is entirely our decision as to whether we should allow these notions to be moulded by unbiased experiences.
Based on recently attained experiences, I am actually glad that though I entered a situation with strongly held, negative preconceived notions, I allowed my notions to be moulded by exposure to the person in question and this helped send our relationship on a whole new tangent.
It's not a frequent occurrence to have such opportunities to have behaviour moulding occur in one's life. Every time you get an opportunity and you exercise this, it may not be successful. But the few times that it is successful, you'll find it completely worth it to have let elements from the outside influence your attitudes.
