Interesting Observations

blogging, social media and self-improvement!

If you were to describe yourself in few words,

How would you do that?

Okay, here’s the constraint, try to describe yourself in just 2 or 3 words. Don’t think about your whole life because that gets confusing. Just concentrate on your state of mind at this very moment, NOW, and see what you come up with.

And of course let us know in the comments what you thought of, or else we’ll never know :-)

Above is a picture of Michael’s daughter from Flickr. I do not know Michael but when I came across this picture on Flickr while browsing, I instantly added him as a ‘contact’. Michael’s entire collection is great and there are tons of inspirational shots in his sets but this one touched me the most because of his explanation below this picture. It took me back to my childhood.

And I instantly felt sad, happy and calm at the same time.

I was sad because every time I think of my dad, I yearn to see him, talk to him and sometimes I listen to his messages on my cell phone voice mail.

I felt happy that he gave me a very enriched childhood, loved us all very dearly and supported us in everything we ever wanted to do.

I felt calm knowing that my mom is doing better. I was talking to a friend the other day who works in a public utilities company. She gets to hear from a lot of the clients on a daily basis about their problems. It was sad to know that so many of the older folk ( the ones in their late 70s or early 80s even) suffer because their water and/or electricity was shut off because they hadn’t been able to pay their bills. It’s really sad but that gave me a weird sense of calmness about my mother ‘coz things could have been much worse than they really are.

I felt Blessed, Stress and Challenged.

Blessed, because things seems to be moving into the direction of my goals smoothly. Though there’s some obstacle, I can felt the power of Buddha blesses all over my thoughts and feeling. So, difficulties looks so easy right now. :)

I’m stress, yep, strange but true. I’m feeling stress although I’m, at the same time feeling blessed. Stress over the pile of works because it has reach the end of month. Well, finance work really a lot for my small company. :)

Lastly, I’m challenged because my new blog is getting lot of competitor’s attacks for the last couple of weeks. I’m going to call a revenge so it’s kinda challenging. ;)

Without a doubt, one of the best photographs one can ever see…although, what I’m feeling right now is not based on this photograph….I’m just going to write what I’m feeling right now .

I feel Happy, Determined & pampered…

I feel happy because i’ve once again found my friend back..not completely though..but still!

I feel determined because I want to achieve my aim and I will achieve that for sure.

I feel pampered because now I know that I’ve a friend who will give me a good advice and is much mature than I am. :)

but I know @Mayank you are also dead against these memes :) I still remember your comment “Oh Please Please stop doing these memes” LOL glad you have great friends ;) You know sincere friends can make life so much easier – Oh I have to tell you some good stories some day

@Ken: hope you feel less stressed and more blessed soon ;) but don’t take on revenge, that’ll only result in more stress LOL

I felt Happy, Alive and Reflected.

Happy because life is such a great thing when my vacation now starts.

Alive because I love to be close to nature and far away from the urban life.

Reflected because this was a great reminder of how good life is after all.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend dear blog friend :-)

I see myself now as Blessed and Underachieved.

Blessed because I have my family around me, sharing my life, my love, joy and sorrows.

Underachieved because I expected so much of myself in life but have so far under-delivered. Age is catching up and youth is slowly deserting me.

@RennyBA: those are the feelings Im striving for :) we do need to stop and take time to reassess our lives every so often.. great weekend to you too Renny… tc

@betshopboy: I feel underachieved often too but I’m trying to learn to give myself a break and not try to be everything to everyone and be good at just about everything – oh that was a great post idea LOL

don’t worry about age, we are all on the same path and not knowing how long we will live, I’m changing my attitude now… my aim is to not think about past or future and just live in the moment…

Happy, content, balanced – but don’t ask my wife what three words she would use to describe me. Ha.
You can still talk to your Dad – he’ll hear you.
Glad your Mom’s doing well.
Peace.

LOL – yeah, I know what you mean, but some memes are fun. I didn’t want to stop all of them, just nonsense memes like fave my site and I’ll fave yours – you know, the fave trains that were so popular once. I like blog carnivals (memes in disguise) and fun memes, but certainly not “five songs you like” type of memes. Gosh, there are hundreds of songs I like, each for its special moment. I wouldn’t be so unfair as to mention only five. :P

Grace

That is a great shot! (Go Michael!) I can’t read her expression. :P
I would describe myself as sarcastic, happy, and burning. I’ve always been sarcastic; it’s a reflex. I’m happy I have so many friends on the net and around me, it’s just great. I seem to always have a burning desire in me to go forward and move up. :)
