Abracadabra!

Just today I was thinking about how much I need to change the name of the my Blog from "Flights of Fantasy", to something else. I had a few options in my mind. None of them fit. Some sounded good, but signified a very small aspect of my life. Others seemed brilliant, but did not signify even a part of my life.

Here I am sitting in front of my PC reading up the meaning of The Chariot, which is one of the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot Deck as it appeared in my reading today. And it inspired me to name my blog what i just have.

I'm a firm believer in The law of Attraction. When you want something bad enough, the Universe will conspire in your favour. But somewhere along the line, the faith i had in my own will and energy decreased. I aspired to achieve a lot more than what I actually got. And somehow the emptiness of life, the lack of purpose and loss of direction got to me. Need I explain any further, the reason behind my lost Faith?

But the few pleasures that I have been pursuing for a long time now are slowly and steadily making their way back into my life. The energy I sent out, is finding it's way. i have seen miracles in life, but this is by far the biggest.

Now getting back toThe Chariot, it is a card with immense power to reinforce your immense power. In one the decks, the word Abracadabra appears across the canopy of the Chariot. The word which has been associated with magicians for a long time, literally translates to- "What I have said will be done".

So I'm going to believe in myself again. Believe in the strength of my word and make everything work in my favour.
Abracadabra! :)

I'm Weird

1. I sniff my coffee before I drink it.
2. I walk into poles because I'm so lost half the time.
3. I think way too much about things that aren't even important.
4. I barely possess any social skills.
5. I suck at making conversations with people I don't know.
6. When I'm in the mood to walk I can walk forever and never get bored.
7. When I go to really boring family parties, I hide in the Ladies' Room and read books.
8. I have a thing for burnt food.
9. I burst into dance without even realizing it.
   
10. I randomly burst into songs that are enough to put people off music forever.
11. After I stare hard enough at the scraped portion of a wall, I can form images in my head.
    
12. I use words like Shades and Tubes that don't even exist in the Dictionary.

I'm so weird and I totally love it :)

Finding my Path

In one of his books, Paulo talks about a Mechanic's relationship with cars. Somehow they always seem to instantly know what the problem is. Thorough knowledge? Definitely. Logic? Certainly. But it takes so much more than just knowledge and logic to identify and solve a problem. It of course, takes intuition.

According to me, your life path is already established. Until and unless you don't find this path, your life will be empty and unfulfilled. You'll be as unsatisfied as an artist working in a bank or a dancer who has been forced to become a housewife.

They say 'Work is Worship'. I'm not quite sure if I agree with that one, but as a die hard fan of Paulo, I'm going to say that every work you do from your heart is a meditation in itself. When you immerse yourself in it completely, you let the Divine Energy of the Universe guide your path. It could be as complicated as constructing a building or as simple as preparing a sandwich.

When I think about the path that I have chosen for myself, I often wonder if I have taken the wrong decision. When it came down to choosing my course after the 12Th, I knew it was either Media or Fashion. I was more inclined to media though, the reason being, intellectual stimulation. There's not a day I have regretted my decision. Infact, I feel it has exceeded my expectations and helped me think in ways I probably never thought I would. But speaking of fulfillment, I feel there's another aspect of my life that continues to be unfulfilled.

As weird as it sounds, fashion is one of those vital elements that makes me, me. It's not just about looking gorgeous and flaunting the latest designer wear. It's an art in itself. An extension of your inner self. A mode of expressing the immense creativity that lies inside of me and waits for an opportunity to mix different items of clothing in order to let magic happen. *Claps at herself for the highly melodramatic description of her love for the F word*

Now getting back to topic of discussion, I tried my hand at writing about fashion a while ago. Of course, it gave me immense satisfaction. For a moment I thought, that working for a fashion magazine would lead me onto this Path. Apparently, even that is not enough. The true Path to Satisfaction lies not only in following what I chosen till the end, but treading on another path as well.

I wanted to be a Designer, but i thought I had said goodbye to that dream a long time ago. may be this just is the time to revive it. :)
Wish me luck!
