Wishes......
Everybody wants something. Everybody wishes for certain things to happen in their lives. Some such wishes are just passing thoughts. Some are things that we really want. Some turn into obsessions. Some of these things that we want are totally under our control. We can take steps to achieve them. Some are totally out of our circle of influence.
When it comes to matters of the heart, sometimes the things we want fall into a category where we want to very badly influence the results but more often find that we are helpless. And to complicate matters a part of us never agrees with our heart's wishes. After all this part of us feels that the heart is incapable of taking logical decisions.
Then again, the heart is known to wish for things that we never understand. These wishes make us feel so good that at times its actually intoxicating. The happiness that we get by just thinking about them is a very beautiful thing to experience. Never try to contain the feelings of the heart as they are a source of bliss. But life is quite predictable in such situations. These wishes never come true.
There are some wishes that the heart and mind never agree upon. These are the ones that we very badly want to be fulfilled. But yet again if they are not then we try to find reasons to prove to ourselves why this could have never worked out. Cos the mind immediately takes over to strengthen the fact that it was never a logical wish anyway. The heart just endures the wound, buries the wish and continues beating.
Many aspects of life are outside our control. Its a challenge to identify the circle of influence. The rest is attributed to destiny. Many people argue that destiny is something we shape. But thats only a way to reassure ourselves that we need to take all the steps to achieve our wishes. But then a wish is very different from a goal. In matters of the heart its usually a wish.
I have noticed that I have had very new experiences in life in the recent past. I have learnt that not all things can be logically explained. After all I agree to Jeffery Archer when he says "Few things are entirely black or while, but more often different shades of grey".
The grey ones keep us guessing, the wishes of the heart keep us going, they add a certain spark to the mundane lives that we otherwise lead.

i just happen on your blog. What u say is very close to my heart. I know how it hurts to have your heart and mind go in different direction and your wishies not fulfilled.
Anyway, wish you best of luck and your wishes fulfilled.

Well, I have never known you to be so wistful. In this post you remind me someone I've known in the past that I really really don't want to turn into.
