Thought Of The Day - New Spark or Fan the Flames

Thought Of The Day - New Spark or Fan the Flames

In front of you, a small fire is starting to take light. Nearby, you can see a set of bellows. You are sorely tempted to fan those flames. But is this wise? It may be easier to intensify an existing blaze, but wouldn't it be more rewarding to gather fresh fuel and strike up a new spark? Be careful what (and who) you now bless with your encouragement, for you may long have to live with the consequences. Neither do whatever is the most convenient, nor feel that you are obliged to stick with what is most difficult. Just choose well.

Happy Valentine's Day

To my wife:

When others thought it was good to abandon me and jumped at the first chance for easy, comfortable and greener pastures.

Back then, at best, I was just a meat bag with a name.

You Zeeba, with full knowledge, accepted me, bit the bullet, rolled up your sleeves and trousers, and jumped head first  into the mess that was my life. And been helping me clean it up one day at a time.

It's not been easy for you. Discovering and cleaning deep, dark negativity. But nonetheless you have kept pushing forward.

Yesterday is over but tomorrow is unwritten and an unchartered territory. But am not afraid of tomorrow as I know that you have my back.

Happy Valentine's Day and 16 years of togetherness.
