About Holding Back...


Sip, instead of gulp…
Browsing, instead of reading…
Just a glance, and not looking intently…
Just touching the water, and not plunging…
Humming, instead of singing…
Cheese, instead of double cheese...
Fingertips, and not the entire hand…
Clear, instead of colored polish…
Drizzle, instead of rain…
Thin crust, instead of thick...
Cologne, instead of perfume…
Asking for the price, but not buying…
Mild, instead of strong…
Matte, instead of glossy…
Silver, instead of gold…
Seldom, not always…
Plain salted, not spicy…
Diet, instead of regular…
Clear, and not tinted…
Unscented, instead of scented
Offline, instead of online…
Brown, instead of blonde…
A pint, in place of a gallon…
A sedan, in place of an SUV…
Cornetto, instead of Magnum…
Keds, instead of Louboutin….
Fries, and not wedges
Taped, and not live…
Bridesmaid, never the bride…
Goodbye, instead of hello...
                       

        So what is holding you back? Time and again, we are reminded by folks that life is too short, and that each one of us is given only one life to cherish. Our fears and doubts must not dissuade us from doing things that will make us happy, and should not cast shadows on our lives. Otherwise, a vault of regrets might float up in our lives later on.  A word of caution though: if things did not make the grade, then we must learn to be accepting of things. Life, after all, isn’t always a bed of roses. If things did not turn out the way you envisioned them in your dreams, then remind yourself that there are things that are simply not meant to be.

So go on with life...
Do what makes you happy...
Do not hold back this time...
