BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT YOUNG "TWICE".......

 You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt,

As young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear,

As young as your hope, as old as your despair.

                                                            Douglas MacArthur

Young!!!! Different people have different perception. A teenager would say i am young enough to go for a date, a man would say i am young as long as my wife is young, a wife would say i am always young and bubbly, a senior citizen would say those days are over. What would you say?????? For me Young is being young at heart and there is no age for this. In this scenario, an 80 year old is also young as compared to a two year old.

Life has become a rat race and so materialistic where people tend to forget their anniversaries for earning luxuries. Blame it on stress/workload and easily patch up with the simple word “SORRY”. They do not realise that, they have missed a beautiful moment of togetherness which once swept away all their worries. It is difficult for many of us to recall when was the last time we enjoyed a cup of coffee with our loved one.

Sacrificing today for tomorrow’s happiness has become a trend nowadays. There are tons of emotions, sentiments, surprises, togetherness which every heart craves for. Securing for future is advisable but definitely not at the cost of ‘youth’. Flip some pages of your life, i bet everybody wants to freeze their teenage life and never want to come again. Ever questioned why? It is because that phase was full of life, heart was young, blood was crude, positive vibe in the nerve, every moment was relish-able, and attitude was immense. But, for survival, none was spared and started to move ahead leaving behind our young heart to look in to the eyes of tomorrow.

Have you ever said no to your boss’ file just for the reason to take your family for a movie night? Ever consoled your loved one that you will be there on time for their birthday? Ever spent an evening with your kid on a football match or helping out to solve his maths problems? Ever mind to take an off to go for a long drive on a rainy morning? Ever just wanted to tuck inside the blanket for the whole day doing nothing? Ever noticed that you are growing old at heart and still there is time to turn young?  If ‘YES’, then it is perfect time to refresh yourself and try your heart at being young, because it is always never late to do what you want in life.

Want to dive into the Mediterranean Sea, slap your husband for once, kiss your wife for no reason, hug your first crush, pull your boss’ tie, say thank you to your thankless job- then Just Do It, because you have only one life to live and you are not young twice.
