“Milind Sir, I’ve been feeling so blissful and happy for the last 2 hours.”, she said.
“I want this feeling to last forever. Is there a way?”
“NO”, I replied.

You see happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin. One can’t exist without the other.
Like on Monday afternoon I met my friends after almost 4 months and I was so happy. I laughed and laughed throughout the afternoon. The happiness spilt over to yesterday also.

And today it is my weekly off and I began my day crying. I was feeling sad. We all have things to feel sad about. And crying is just a way to let out those emotions.
Over the years, one of the biggest things I learnt from my wife is that it is OK to cry. In the initial years of our marriage I used to be very upset when she cried.
Now I don’t resist her crying. And whenever I feel like crying, I cry too. Not just in front of her, but in front of others too. It’s another one of Nature’s calls after all!

When I coach people, so often they cry on the phone. And they feel better after they’ve done that.
You see it’s OK to cry.
But it’s not OK to stay in that state forever.
Just the way it’s nice to be happy.
But it’ll be weird if you were in a happy state forever. (Such people are usually sent to a mental asylum.)

Life is like a sine wave.
More like an Electrocardiogram.
There will be swings.
Ups and Downs all the time.
And neither the highs nor the lows will last forever.
They’re not supposed to.

Success and Failure will come in cycles.
So will Satisfaction and Disappointment.
And Opportunity and Difficulty.
Sometimes there will be Lack.
And sometimes.. Abundance.

Sometimes you will be showered with Love.
And at times Life will give you a tight slap!
That’s how it’s supposed to be.
And THAT, my dearest darling friends, is called Life.
Everything else is called Death…
.. which.. by the way.. is the only thing that will LAST FOREVER!
