Have you been ‘grateful’ to your life lately?

It is a human tendency — to keep yourself busy between the bushes, you ignore the scent of lovely roses around you. Liberate yourself! To the extent you could never have imagined. We live a life which is more on someone else’s terms, not on ours. We often struggle finding ‘ourselves’ during this journey of life, on the contrary, everyone else keeps seeing us except us! Can you think about this?

Is there a switch off button to the human mind? At some point in life, we all want to completely stop moving and analyse everything going around us. That is the point you realize where you are missing, everything else is in place. And here comes a buzz and you realize your calling, in fact, many people are so busy with their remote-life activities that they avoid this schmooze that usually occurs within your soul. Have you been into this situation before? I have been into this, and I love being into conversations with myself. My soul speaks out and I listen to every beat my heart throws at me. Do you want to have ‘date’ night with yourself? What are you looking for in this life; have your ever asked to yourself?

We have very few people around us who actually respect and provide the ‘space’ we need. We are all so adored by the love they offer, and somewhat they keep us hooked with them. Most of us ignore the fact that sometimes it is always good to be grateful of your life for ourselves. It will not take much from you. The kind of ‘space’ I am talking about is analyzing what life has thrown at you and you certainly have to deal with it. Take time for yourself, and know that life is as beautiful as the loveliest flower that has blossomed recently in your garden.

Life is too short — this is what we realize when we usually enter our 30s. Life is there to be celebrated, not to be repented. We all have those ‘blocks’ in our lives — be it in our personal surroundings or professional, no one is happy. There is a common phrase of gratitude — learn to be happy in less. If we understand this small magical phrase, life will always come with lovely surprises. Whatever comes is for a good reason — to learn something from it. Life is not always easy on us, but we can make it easy to deal with it…Right?

Let’s chase everything in this life itself that is piled up into the heaven for us and craft a good fortune here only. Pave a beautiful road to find the good things for yourself. Stir that ‘passion’ in you which is gifted to you by the god. Do you love traveling, dancing, reading, cooking? It could be anything. Let’s begin by adopting simplistic activities into our daily lives.

Arise and shine! Begin with –

- Being grateful for something everyday

- Pen down your thoughts regularly

- Hey what about picturing yourself after ten years?

- Smile for no reason

- Feel in love with yourself

- How do you see this life — write it down

- Last but not the least — pickup something you absolutely love

This is not a self-caring or a transformation piece, but I am trying to put this as simplistic to make you realize, where you are locating yourself in this present tick. Promise yourself to count each day and make it as beautiful your soul is. Always soar high and touch the sky with the absolute passion that exists within you. Let’s be grateful for everything we have now and whatever will be there in future. I am repeating it again — life is too short to love yourself and others!
