A couple of months ago in Vegas we saw a blue man group show. Not one of those highly recommended things to do, but we still went because we could not get cirque du soleil tickets. The show was ok, but there was a part of the act that was so profound that it has been etched in my mind forever.
Here it goes:-
The three main guys of the blue man group were standing on the stage with a set of huge placards each. The first placard for each man said "choose your placard right now- 1,2 or 3 and do not look at the other two cards after that. Continue to read just what is written on your chosen card."
So I chose number 2 and the man began revealing the whole set. He dropped the first card and there was some hello message on the card behind it. He dropped it again and the new one said "are you wondering what is on the other two cards?" The next one said"are you happy with your choice?" And again "are you wondering what would have happened, had chosen some other card?" and so on... What was on the rest of the pack is not important. It was just some joke, which I do not remember anymore.
But the first few ones did the trick for me. Isn't that how life is? You are faced with so many choices at each step. You consciously decide to pick a road for yourself. And then you always wonder..."what if?" rather than live your own life happily?
I can't say it for you guys but I often get such thoughts. I do know the first rule for a happy life...to never compare yourself with other people, but I just can't stop doing it. Especially these days I'm always thinking what if I had done something else instead? Would I have had all that I have now and a little more? Perfect recipe for disaster inne?
I know what the right thing for me to do is now. I know all the gyan on earth about happy living. I just wanted to open my heart out, write this here and be done with it. Yes I am guilty of having such useless thoughts and creating all the stress that comes with it. Period.

Aah, if thats useless...then so am i coz i get such thoughts in my mind every so often! I think its human nature to think like that. I wonder if there is anyone who has never had that thought that 'What if...'
All of us do get thoughts like this..at some time or the other...
May be, we should just continue on the road which we have chosen for us with conviction...(unless we think, we made a wrong choice and there is still time to go back) :P
We, anyway, can't change..which can not be changed..
:D
Now, that you are done with it..by writing it down..I wish you good luck.. :D
@Ria, I wish i was the one! :)
@Kunal, true that!
