Life looks good and interesting until we are hopeful of achieving something or someone. But as soon as we get what we wanted, we either start desiring something else or should I say, something better than what we have achieved or simply start living with our achievements. And when we have to live in same state-be it after achievements or before achievement, we start feeling complacent and that leads to boredom.
I often hear people saying - What a bore life, nothing new whatsoever and bla bla bla. I too belong to that group, so I have devised that idea which keeps me interested in life, even though nothing is there to cheer. Read on to know...
Its a fact that no two days are same but we realize only big changes and another truth is, big changes don't take place daily. So when those big things happen, we react accordingly and in other days, we find nothing new, so we don't find life exciting and that takes us into a world of ease where neither we are alert for world around nor we want to make things happen.
So, what can be done? simple, realize those small changes in life and feel their existence. For example, when you wake up in the morning, instead of rushing towards bathroom, open that window and see outside, the fresh faces, feel cold air that combs your hair, sunlight that makes you bright, and realize the freshness. You don't have to feel deliberately, but its all there already. Then go to bathroom, feel the magic that water does. feel its flawless and simple flow, feel its effect when you touch it. Try and play with it while tap is on and water is flowing.
Then on the breakfast table, pick up the newspaper and settle with the part which you always ignore and read at least 2-3 paragraphs of an article which does not help you anyways. On the way to car, see all the establishments, people around you, the road, azure sky...
At office, shake hands with all your colleagues, at least those in your area or department. Switch on your computer and feel, how magical this device is? How does it easily connect you to the other parts of world, its writes, erases, plays music, without any external instrument, wow...isn't?
while returning home, take some time out to sit on a park bench. See, how a small seed turns into such a beautiful tree, what soil does to craft such beautiful flowers, how small kids grow up and so on...
similarly, feel lucky when you reach home to have a home for you and people waiting. spend time with them, sleep with kids and have a nice time with spouse.
And last but foremost, thank GOD for such a wonderful day and at the time of sleeping, sleep as if no worry will be carried forward to tomorrow, its all over. You are here celebrating your prize of working for the day....Enjoy.
See, how interesting this life is. It is the same life which you regarded as bore one. And when you wake up next morning, you will find lots of changes in the same framework. for example, out from window, you will see different faces, different scene, and so on. So a new setup for you to feel that speciality. go ahead...embrace those small but beautiful changes of life. after these moments only make a life, right!!!
Happy Living,
