Cosmic Connections!


        On the 4th of July, I completed three years of married life. So much has happened in these three years that it seems I have time travelled to 10 years forward. I was reading an article today on Cosmic Connections and it made so much sense looking back at my past. For your reference here's the link ~

         Flashback fours years ago, it was the year 2013. One of my worst years and life had fallen into rock bottom. Someone once told me, when you hit the bottom, there's no other way but to come up. Almost close to being bankrupt,  jobless, failed investments and attempts to get back to earning a living again and to top it all, dealing with my father's failing health and fighting a legal case as old as 35 years for him. All at one time , it seemed like a living hell at that point in time with no hope of light at the end of the tunnel. It was during this phase, that I learnt to be the strongest, courageous and most importantly, to never give up on Hope! Dwayne Johnson once said, "If you are going through tough times, keep going. Be unstoppable." So I kept going, challenging myself as much as I could have. Sure enough the path became clearer, the solutions came pouring in and I met the right people at the right time. By the beginning of 2014 the storms subsided, life was calm and started getting smoother.

         I met my husband during this toughest phase of my life. Till date I do not know why he decided to marry me. I was at my lowest low and would barely dress up or put on make up. At times my days would be so hectic running around to fix things that I would meet him for a date in the evening, totally disheveled. He still found beauty in me. It was not  difficult for me to decide to marry him. We find people sharing your life in good times but ones who stand by you during the bad times are the people worth sharing your life with. We eventually got married in July 2014 and blessed with the most beautiful boy in Nov 2015.

           Every single meeting or encounter can serve a greater purpose in life. During our life's journey we shall be faced with the following five types of Cosmic connections.

1.Those meant to awaken us.
2.Those who remind us
3.Those help us to grow
4.Those who hold space for us
5.Those who stay

The events and the chanced upon meetings with people from various walks of life during my crisis helped immensely to overcome the challenges. Some awakened me, some were reminders of worthy lessons, long forgotten, some helped me grow and discover my own potential and some who shall stay forever, like my husband! So do not get disillusioned when you are faced with betrayal, breach of trust at any level, being taken for granted, because these people in your life will help you eventually win a greater battle. They help prepare you for the unseen. Though the resultant maybe inconspicuous. But sooner or later you will discover the hidden benefits.
