The big picture

I love the video for the song Return to innocence by Enigma. The first time i watched it was bout 5 years ago. And i still enjoy watching it after all these years. The whole scenario of having your entire life from birth to death being played out in a matter of minutes kinda gives a very refreshing and strangely optimistic perspective on things. Makes me look at the bigger picture in life and somehow all those everyday problems i'd be battling with seem insignificant. If i had to look at my whole life in flash-forward i'd be happy with the way everything is. I mean i may not yet have my dream job and my career may seem like one big jumbled heap right now but somehow in the bigger picture i have seen a lot, experienced a lot, learnt a lot and whatever lies ahead does not scare me. All those major goals i ever had in life up until this period of my life are met. Minor details are exactly that- 'minor' details. One of my major goals were to not have any regrets whatsoever and i do not. This realization just fills me with warmth upto my toes. There is that small part of me that fights to reject this saintly notion of mine with the argument that the price for such a belief is ambition and growth in my career. But thankfully that is the part of me I never ever listen to.
