There are days that make you smile and then there are days that seem to offer nothing out of the ordinary.
There are moments that make you feel alive and there are moments that make you question your purpose in life.
There are seconds that pass without a moment's notice and there are seconds that might alter the course of your life.
Every person in the world goes through these periods and only some are able to recognize the dire importance of each of them. Those who are unaware do not necessarily miss out on anything, however, they fail to realize the importance of of the little things that matter. And those who, in fact, do the contrary allow themselves to enter a realm of possibilities wherein making the 'right' decision is harder than Hercules' seven labors.
This is what I, as an individual, am going through. I seem to have realized the little, not petty, things that happen to surround me and take them into perspectives that were unavailable to my cognitive mind a little while ago. It has served me duel purposes:
1) It has helped me explore the minds of those around me and to exaggerate, the minds of human kind in general. It has helped me decipher how individuals in this rat-race world go on to act as they act, speak what they speak and do what they do.
2) It has also molded my opinion of the same exact people which is quite in contrast to what I thought it was. And to make it crystal clear, contrary is not always a negative term. I might not be a Psych major or anything, but I love to observe the world as a part of a huge, still not defined, experiment in my head.
Excelsior, which literally means upward or onward, has been re-introduced in my mind by the highly acclaimed movie Silver Linings Playbook. I read the term first when I used to spend my time reading extensively about Marvel Comics, particularly about Stan Lee. As in the movie, the word always gives me a positive vibe and a rush of adrenaline when I read/hear it. I try to inculcate this positiveness in my life as being positive comes only second to helping those around you in one's life. This is the first life lesson I had from my mother. To see the 'silver lining' in the darkness that surrounds you gives you the sheer determination to walk through it towards a golden sky (LFC reference).
Sidebar: The positive terms are always shiny.
Everything one faces makes one door close and a makes another one open as if there is a relay system attached. There is a relay system, it is you. To go onward towards the open door is the force one needs to put in to make the relay to move. The causal effect of the force is the encouragement, the disappointment and and the will to strive forward.

This is the story of my weekend.
Excelsior!
