Horse & Donkey - 1 (GameOn@Work)

Horse: You know why I am a HORSE?
Donkey: How can I know? I am a DoNKEY..!!
Horse: Yaaa.. that's true. You are a Donkey. But, do you know why you are a DoNKEY?
Donkey ( after hard thinking ): Yes, because you are a HORSE..!!

Horse & Donkey - 2 (Farewells@Work)

Horse: Hey Donkey.. Where are you going?
Donkey: To the new pastures.
Horse: What's wrong with the grass out here?
Donkey (scratching his head): Don't know. It's my gut feeling that it turns horses to donkeys.
Horse: How does it matters to you. You are already a Donkey.
Donkey: Yeah.. I LOVE myself. So, why take risk??
Horse: Look at me. I am eating this grass for years. I am still a Horse.
Donkey (with a long teethed grin): REALLY..???

Horse & Donkey - 3 (Dreamers@Work)

Horse: Hey.. I am going to join the Gym. I need to be stronger.
Donkey: But why do you need to be stronger when you THINK everyone is a donkey out here?
A Pause.
Horse: (THINKing) Yeah.. You are correct. I am already great with what I have.(Feeling triumphed)
Another Pause.
Horse: Still, I want to join the Gym. It's my dream to have those six packs, the herculean cuts and that Rambo like posture.
Donkey: I am surprised to know that you even DREAM. I have always seen you just taking long naps.
Horse: (Blushing..) Ohhh.. Please..!! You know.. A dream is an animal's biggest treasure. We should dream big (he meant - dream longggg).
Dreams are your destiny. Dreams are your fate. Dreams make you. Dreams.. Blah.. Blah.. Blah..

Donkey: (took a round of grass around him, and started chewing it)
Horse: Blah.. Blah.. Blah.. So, I mean that Dreams are like your biggest treasure. And I am on to hunt it now.
Donkey: (gobbling the grass bowl) Wow.. So, now you are going to be a great hunter. DO you know Shooting?
Horse: (a bit confused) No. I think I should join the shooting class. I need to be a sharp shooter.
Donkey: But why do you need to be a sharp shooter when you THINK everyone is a donkey around you? Moreover, you are a vegetarian.
A Pause.
Horse: (THINKing) Yeah.. You are correct. I am already good with what I know.(Feeling less triumphed)
Another Pause.
Horse: Still, I want to learn shooting. It's my dream to hit down those...Blah.. Blah.. Blah..
Donkey: (clearing off another round of grass)

Being Positive

It's another new year. Yet again, it has started with some new hopes, new dreams & as usual some new resolutions. It all sounds like a rhetorical statement which normally gets framed in mind at the onset of almost every new year. So, what's new this time?
Nothing.
It is all the same - the hope, the dream, the desire, the energy. The only change is that they all are POSITIVE. And, why isn't it new?
Once upon a time, not quite long back, they all were positive.

A week full of doing NOTHING has left me with some deep introspection, answered all of my underlying questions and sorted out some hidden inhibitions. Although, it hasn't filled my half empty glass, rather it has helped me see through the half filled part. Sometimes, the contentment within the walls provide a more solid insight, than falling off the brim and getting wiped off.

There has been so much seen, said and read about Life that, for me, all the philosophies, rationale and experience merge into just one pure thought - Life is in Life.. If you are living it, it's worth it..!!
That's what being  positive is all about. It add more Life to your every breath, every move, every act and every thought. Things which are complete, makes you feel happy. Things which are incomplete, finds their best possible path to attainment. Things which can never be completed, either find a contentment (with no remorse or resentment) or with more positive thoughts gets added to the second list. That's the beauty of being positive.

The theory of 'Rich gets Richer & Poor gets Poorer' completely aligns with optimism and pessimism. The moment you get positive, you attract multiples of it and on the other hand, just one negative thought and your will power is reduced to pieces.

Right now, I can see my glass filling drop by drop and I am enjoying every bit of it. As rightly said, the fun is in the chase, and that's what drives you to dream, toil, achieve and then again dream bigger.
Being positive is an attitude which you wear on waking up and keep it on even in the deepest of your dreams..!!
