Quite a few years back I was introduced to the concept of looking at the bigger picture, developing a broader perspective, looking beyond the short term gains..you get the drift. I don't remember how and when, but since then I have tried to incorporate that in every aspect of my life.
And most of the times I have failed miserably.
Everytime I am faced with a situation, be it an unfulfilled commitment, or my 14 year old brother or unnecessary politics at work or my mothers nonstop monologue or several other aspects of my life which drive me insane, I tend to forget all my good intentions and behave in a manner which makes me want to disown myself later.
I am trying to write this blog now to remind myself of all the better and bigger things in life. I don't know if I'll continue writing but I will definitely try.
"the whole enchilada!".
I have been obsessed with this expression for a little over 2 years now. I remember when I came across it, I was writing a business plan for my masters degree. The expression so beautifully captured everything which I ever wanted myself to be (you know! - a bigger(not literally) better person) that I modified everything I had written so far just to incorporate this phrase. And it went beautifully.
A year and a half has passed since I wrote that business plan and I didn't think of "the whole enchilada!" again until yesterday. It took me 3 months to finish the dissertation and when I look back now it was the one of the best periods of my life. I was atleast 10% of what I wanted to be.
To new beginnings!
