Exploring thin lines

I have been listening to this song by Coldplay and one of the lines that stuck in my head

'I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do!'

Somehow these words manifest thoughts of those unseen yet existing lines. The drawing and crossing of which changes your reality completely!  Sometimes crossing these lines is a huge mistake and sometimes it’s a brilliant breakthrough.

 

So we had a small discussion over this topic and thought of different contexts in which we use this term thin lines separating one thing from another. Here’s the fun list that we have come up with.

These lines are invisible but they sure do exist!

• ·      Love and hate
• ·      Arrogance and confidence
• ·      Bravery and stupidity
• ·      Worthless and priceless
• ·      Hunger and greed
• ·      Brilliance and insanity
• ·      Respect and fear
• ·      Crazy and genius
• ·      Right and wrong
• ·      Determination and desperation
• ·      Yes and no
• ·      Dreams and reality
• ·      Superstition and belief
• ·      Wisdom and foolishness
• ·      Ego and self respect
• ·      Heaven and here
• ·      Words and wounds
• ·      Confidence and Over-confidence
• ·      Madness and eccentricity
• ·      Obsession and love
• ·      Pleasure and pain (;))
• ·      Success and failure

YOU!

Starting from scratch..its difficult!

To let go off all that you built over the years and see it crumble to pieces. The dust almost makes you cry but the tears aren't there yet. Because what you are feeling, can be only felt not explained. Nobody would know the exact feeling you have, when all that you worked towards, comes falling down like a house of cards. You dont understand where to start, what to do, how to overcome this feeling you have and let go and start building again. Your hands tremble at the idea of starting again. You worry, what if you fail and what to do next and what if you keep on failing how do  get past this and start afresh 'let it be' as they say are the words of wisdom, now are they ?

You doubt. Doubt is the one only theme for the series going inside of your head. You have your  head full of thoughts. . oh so heavy thoughts: weigh more than you. Its too much burden and too much patience...the head seems like a closet overflowing with clothes of thoughts and endless thoughts. You wonder when would this stop! You think you could start then but it just goes on and on..
Oh starting from scratch is such a mess..all these expectations people have from you are at once useless because you are becoming something you weren't and these expectations are from the old you, one that crumbled to pieces.. or atleast a part of you.

You see how futile these things are. All the values: the basic ones, on which you based your decisions,seem to be nothing but a lie or something like that! You no more know which way to go seems like you are lost in a place you have never been before.

But look at everything closely. What’s common in that? It’s all that YOU FEEL. Its all the game of mind.
And YOU are the only player inside. Hence nobody but you, and only you can make your way through to the place where you want to be..only you!

Its your life. You can be all you want to be. You can fail and start again.  If Trouble shows up, you have to face it upright because its your life.
You have to make your roots strong and cling to the soil even if winds and rains try to destroy you.

Its about you, how you deal with the goods and bads that come your way. Its all about you how you greet people

who meet you in the journey. You have to stand on your ground, change a little with time and still be the same.

You have the magic in you! Yes you.
Trust me,
Its just about YOU!
