No one can be blamed here...most of us are caught up in this whirlpool where work dictates time, bosses replace family members and appraisal becomes more important than festivals! All of us are deeply engrossed in playing this tug of war called life and amidst this pandemonium, there is one person you hardly spend time with...Yourself!!! It's true....Admit it! When was the last time you visited your aunt? Or admired the blooming flowers at the local park? The neighbour kid has really grown up and you never noticed!! Yes...it's been 8 years since the last season of Friends was aired on TV!!! Time flies...doesn't it? And since science has still not been able to invent the time machine so the only alternative is to make the most of your life as long as it is...No! Not by spending your weekends at work but doing all those things that makes you feel happy and contended!!!
Have you ever blown soap bubbles sitting on someone's else's parked two wheeler on the road? Or maybe stuck out your multi-coloured tongue after licking an iced candy? Or maybe struck a conversation or two with the chaiwala on the roadside while sipping on the chai? Trust me...these experiences are more enriching than playing stress buster games on your laptop!
When I say spend time with yourself, I literally mean 'to spend time with your inner self' - things which your heart craves to do but your mind doesn't! There you go... I guessed it right! So you do have such a list there!
It is very important that we connect with our own inner self on a frequent basis. It is a continuous process of self exploration and you will be surprised at what you unravel. There are so many ways to be find peace, derive happiness and tranquility that it will way surpass our sorrows and enrich us! And consequently you will find yourself much contended, fulfilled and humbled. It will be quite a task for bereavement to cast it's
shadow on you once you befriend your happy self for life!
Remember...Don't let anyone tell you that there is some sort of formula to live your life...because if there is, it can only be
X= Happiness
and X means just " Whatever you want !!!"
......Remember the Kit-kat advertisement?
Loved d article and agreed with it completely. Its true that in our day to day hustle we do forget to spend some quality time with that 'someone' who's d real 'us' n relive those small joyous moments that can actually make big differences to our being.
ReplyDeleteNice thoughts put in words....its true that we need to take sometime out in a day to realise what we are, what makes us happy and what to do to make our inner being happy...most of us live for others, playing vital roles of life as father,brother,husband,friend,lover,employee etc....however whilst playing those role, most of us forget to play the role of real-self and forget to live and love someone who's been inside you since birth("your heart")... nothing can be better than keeping your heart happy and spending some quality time with it, it helps live longer than a normal human being...if your heart is happy, your outlook towards life changes,u start thinking positive, no health problem and you live longer, else life becomes a tough journey and before you could start, it comes to an end...
