Broadly defining life!

So, today is when i wanted to sit and think peacefully what is it that i like doing in life and would continue to do.. There are just so many things which i did not choose, but happened to be circumstantial and given that more often than not i take life as it comes, i have been fine and i always think when people cant think for themselves, God does.. :)

But somethings which i really think i would like to keep or bring in me till i die are:

-- Walk. I think i love to walk for miles with greens all around.. alone, with friends, with music, without music.. i just love to walk when everything around is silent.. i have noticed that i am not a party animal, i can manage with any kind of day, when i end it with a long walk.. anything i observe on my way teaches me something about life and it gives me time to talk about the day, think about the day and just dump the day with good thoughts and new learnings.. i have made some of the bestest friends during my walks..
-- Talk. Yes, many people know me as extrovert and equally know me as introvert.. fact of life is i love to talk to the right people.. talk about anything under the sun.. dumbest to smartest.. discuss on everything seen and unseen.. i like it when my day ends with talking and laughing with some of my good friends here.. i think, i do talk a lot, no matter where i go, i always find some people to hang around with and eat heads of.. the point is, i never regret the time spent talking, so thats something i will want to make an integral part of life..
-- Think. funny, but i like to think on anything and tell my mind to keep calm, have patience and pray to God to not give me the best , but give me the wisdom to handle good and bad with equal peace.. Thinking is just so impotant to keep ones mind from going off track.. if thoughts are streamlined right everyday, there is little that ups and downs of life can do.. i always wanted to learn to meditate, it probably is complex for me, but i can do simple streamlining of thoughts everyday to think good and do good..
-- Grow. no matter what it is, mental growth is very important for me.. i have realized it has no connection with a job.. it has got to do with your thoughts, what you learn from your surrounding, people around you, books you read and activities you do to make your day.. I have to change and change for good every passing day.. if i were to wake up as same human 2 years down the line, i will be disappointed.. there is just so much to change to be a "human"..
-- Empathize. Have a feeling of respect and understanding for all, no matter how my mind categorizes them.. this is tough one.. it deteorates with time, but it should ideally get better as you move in life.. i dont want to be judgemental and i dont want to categorize people and behave differently with different category..
-- Have fun. watch movie, eat ice creams, travel, eat out.. do whatever, but when i die, know that i lived it..
-- Tolerate. Neutralize feelings and thoughts. Diffuse the negativity out of any discussion and then take it on.. reactions are not worth everyone and every discussion..

In the end, i came to conclusion, i like to be happy and peaceful and it takes all of the above to maintain it. No matter what i live for, how i live; in the end i should make trade offs which dont come on the way to any of the above because thats probably what i want to achieve in life, everything else is just a means to it.

Awee... you do talk a LOT and nice to know that there is no scope of that getting any better.. Abbey, kitni baar bola hai, thoda lamba soch; itna bheja hai but saara ghumne, phirne aur aish karne ko dedicated hai.. absolutely anything makes you happy.. walk, talk, think.. Phew!! :)
