Landing Matters

Me: Dad, why most of us are still unsatisfied even after working so hard everyday ?

Dad (with his usual calmness): You still make paper planes?

Me: Yeah ! You know how much I love them πŸ™‚ but are you avoiding my question Dad ?

Dad: Ok, what will fly better – Your Paper Plane or This Glass Bowl?

Me:Β  Paper Plane I guess !

Dad: Why? I think glass bowl will travel more distance!

Me: Yea but it will break when it lands!

Dad: Exactly! It’s not just about how high you fly but also about how you land? Most of us are concentrating on flying and not landing! And until we know how to settle, how to safely come back to basics of life i.e. Love, Family, Kindness and Health, no matter how much high we fly – we will never be in total control.

Me: Wow dad, I am sure you should have been to TedTalks rather than me.

Dad: I am more of a DadTalks son. Hahaha !!

Me: Hahaha!!
