Change in perspective

One has to lead by example - if someone leaves you or your life, better to look into oneself to find the contributors. Some recent take-aways (some recent enforcing lessons) : (1) Always remind oneself - one could potentially play out a situation in a worser light than it really is. (2) Life is actually very forgiving - there are enough situations to redeem one's mistakes, just try to minimize those. (3) Never take anyone/anything for granted - there is no such thing, it just fizzes out the quality. (4) Keep doing the basics consistently and correctly irrespective of what happens. (5) Never worry - if something has to happen, it will happen otherwise it will not happen. Again, dont try to control life outcomes, just enjoy the ride.
