Circles of Life

Life seems to be going in circles all the while. Just like the science classes we had as students. "Looks to be the same", is the thought which always crossed our minds. But, when we listen carefully, there's always something new in every class. Maybe that's what stretching our limits looks like. In a subtle way, we get used to what we always felt was right. And then, grow from there to new realities and knowledge. Not that this is the only way to go about, but the way most of us choose to. Or rather programmed to choose. Nevertheless, it's cool this way too.

The way we look at something moving in a spiralled coil. Look from the top, and it's always like moving in the same circle. And that's how we see life as, most of the time. We keep encountering the same situations, same people, same outcomes time and again in our life. But when we change our perspective, and look at the coil from the side, it's all clear that we're all moving in a new direction every moment. Maybe, that's what having a broader mind is all about. And that's the dictomy and beauty of the life too. As both the perspectives are true, and both are real. It's the perspective we choose that matters. And it need not be a constant either. As both are equally important in their own ways. Like it's said, "A leader should have both the birds-eye-view, and at the same time be able to "look into the details" of things. It's a balance of both the things which makes it wonderful.

Well, there's a third way, which we do naturally. After you reach a certain point, uncoil the path, and you find a straight line, showing the distance you travelled, and all the experiences in it. Maybe, this is what introspection is all about. We look at where we've reached, and realize that it's all so perfectly designed. Every experience we've had, is the only way it could have happened. And that gives a new perspective to the journey ahead.

Nothing is more, or less important. Having all the ways, makes the process complete and wonderful.
