A very popular term in today’s context that is frequently used while running computers, laptops, mobiles, Internet devices or any of electronic gadgets. And that is “RESTART”. Just pressing a “RESTART” button of an electronic item refreshes all it’s system memory and enables making it ready to start over again. Freeing up the memory, clearing the cache or elevating the performance of the system at optimal level; “RESTART” is having the huge significance. Restarting the system is nothing but the perfect way to reset it. The identically same logic and principle is applicable to human lives as well. The precious importance of “New Beginnings” in life no matter how hard the past was is a divine blessing for us all the living beings. New beginning and starting over again brings new hopes, adds refreshing aspirations and cultivates new attitude and fresh approach towards life. As described even in our rich Indian culture, the season of fresh beginning and recreation “Vasant Rutu” (the Spring season) signifies the period of auspicious renewal of nature. Growth of new leaves on a tree replacing old ones which is also a sign of strengthened root of a tree, beautiful flowers bloom again spreading the fragrance of love and auspiciousness all over.

 

The splendid sunshine mesmerisingly representing hopes, positivity and optimism. The time to start fresh and start over. The mark of transformation, rejuvenation, regeneration and recreation. It is the vibrant symbolisation of spirit of getting up after falling down, recovering and repairing after suffering all the anguish, hardships and losses and renewing and refreshing after having faced downfall in life. As a wise man once said, “A past is a good place to visit but not to stay.” We always have to look ahead in life, since the life has to be lived forward not backwards. No incidence or occurrence of life leaves us empty handed in life. Since even if we gain nothing from the past, we will certainly end up learning the lesson of life from it. The period of failures, downfall and struggle brings an excellent opportunity for us to sit calm, think and introspect about figuring out what exactly went wrong in our endeavours and efforts. Be the failure in education, exams, jobs, relationships and marriages or any important matter of life.

 

Take a break, take a rest for a while to release the distress of failure and “RESTART”. It’s not the speed that matters at which we make progress, but the consistency, persistence, perseverance and the “never give up attitude” which make all the difference. Since we are not ahead or behind someone, but we all are at our own pace. The life is where opportunities come and go. It’s for us how efficiently we grab them and convert them into success. The struggle story which is having the success story as it’s concluding part no matter how hard the journey was is always told as glorious story of success. Thus, there is nothing wrong in taking a rest, taking a break for a while and then refocus on goals, replan the strategy, retrying in a different ways. To reset, readjust, refresh, recover, rejuvenate and reestablish as many times as you need; “JUST PRESS THE RESTART BUTTON OF LIFE.”
