Life is short

This is my first blog.
The first question that generally comes to our mind when we think to start blogging is "What should I write about?". Same was the case for me. I was thinking of cultivating this habit of blogging from past few months but then just kept on giving excuses to myself for not writing a blog. And these excuses are nothing but fears and the biggest amongst them is the fear of people. Various questions keep coming to our mind even before we start writing or for that matter before doing anything which is out of our comfort zone.

  • What will people think about me?
  • My english is not that great. Will people judge me on that?
  • What will happen if a particular person comes across my blog?
  • Will they make fun of me?

We keep thinking on behalf of people. But then I came across the this image.

So here I'm writing my first blog :D :D

I started my guitar classes recently. It was my 3rd class when Luke(my Sir) gave me a digital Metronome while I was practicing something on the guitar. I saw this instrument for the first time in my life. It looks like this:
BTW that's my Swiss watch besides the metronome ;) :P

The function of this instrument is that it helps you in tuning the guitar and it also helps you play the guitar at a desired speed. What it does is it makes a sound of regular ticks which we hear and then that sound must be synchronized with our frequency of striking the chords and this is how we can control our speed of playing. The frequency of the device was set at 60 ticks per minute

As soon as I put on those headphones and started hearing those ticks the first thought that came to my mind was that our Life is so short. I was able to hear the sound of each second pass.

Initially, I was scared a bit thinking about the time that I waste daily in sleeping unnecessarily, doing stuff which is not so important, etc, etc. but then I thought that if I am aware of this fact it can help me utilize my time in a better way and I can do more of productive work in less time. This fact can actually help me utilize my time properly and in a more productive way. 

It is because of this fact that I have started doing things which I was not so comfortable doing before. The fact that life is not as big as we think it is pushes me each day to do stuff which I have been avoiding to do for the past many months.
There are many things which we feel like doing but we avoid them because we are scared of what other people will think about us if we do those things.
Most of the people live their lives only for a social acceptance though they dream to be socially exceptional. We can only be an exception when we succeed in something and that is only possible when we do something which is different and is new for the society and as we know the initial part of the change is always difficult and that is when most people give up.

We never know when will be our last day. So it's better to have a list of dreams with all the dreams ticked (ofcourse by working hard for them and doing something which we are not so comfortable doing) rather than wasting our time and then regretting about it later.

Life will not postpone our death so it's better that we do not postpone our lives.
