There are not many moments when my eyes are wet. This post is inspired by a 3 minute short film "Wake Up!" made by Kostas Karydas. There is a subtle message in it that everyone should understand and feel. In fact I think there are a couple of messages in that and everyone would probably draw a different and a personal message out of it. That's the beauty of this short film. Before any delay watch the short film "Wake Up!" below, don't just watch it, stop what you are doing, maximize your screen and feel it !!
Understanding and living life when you're still young is so important. Most of the times, life isn't about what we are worried about or our future goals. Life is about what is happening to you right now, what all happened to you since today morning? We get entangled in our future goals that we forget to enjoy the fresh fruit that the nature has placed right in front of us right now. There are so many great men who have time and again told us that happiness lies along the way and not at the end of the road. It's the journey that gives us happiness more than the end - of course you would be happy at the end if you have achieved what you wanted, but was the journey cherishing? You may achieve what you want when you're say 50 or 60 years old but if you haven't enjoyed chasing that goal, if you haven't laughed, loved, cheered, pursued your passions, loved, made great friends or haven't lived your life in the pursuit of that goal, then should you really be happy? I don't know. Would I be? No. Journey is where you spend your most time in, make it beautiful. Chase your goals, but don't forget to do all the things that the old man felt he will do when he's 30 again - laugh, play, love, dance & let me add my own personal favourites - read & travel more!
Another silent message I could draw from the above film is "You're always young!" If you can laugh, play a little, express love and care then are you really old? May be you won't be able to dance because of your weak bones, but if can do rest of the things, then aren't you equally young? Answer this - what makes you young? :) You are young. I remember my dad saying on his 60th birthday - I'm now 60 years young!
Youth lives inside you. Awaken it.
Wake up!
