Once I was thinking about time. And suddenly a thought struck me that with each passing year, month, week, day, hour and minute, we are moving away from our loved ones and from ourselves too. Even the day we are born the clock starts ticking away and reverse counting starts. With each passing day, we are nearing our final destination. But instead of making me disturbed, this thought compelled me to be happy each day. To make most of the time I have with my near and dear ones.
I took a pledge that I will try to be happy each day. I will do at least one thing that makes me happy and content. And try to pen it down and relive it whenever I want.
Today I thought that whenever I wake up in the morning I will flood my mind and emotions with good and positive thoughts. That might prove refreshing because I am not a morning person and wake up grouchy and grumpy. Tomorrow onwards before leaving my bed, I will try to close my eyes and visualize. I will visualize pleasant and positive things then start my day.
Mostly what happens is I wake up in foul mood and keep quiet for a long time in the morning so that not to rub off my mood to others.Why not get rid off that foul pause and start day with bright and cheerful note? Why not be happy from the start? I don’t know how my experiment with being happy will turn out. But there is no harm in trying.
No one has too much luxury of time on this beautiful planet to be sad, bitter, blue, cheerless, dejected, despondent, distressed and down in dumps. Why not make a conscious choice and be happy? I will CONSCIOUSLY try to do one thing everyday to be happy. Flooding my mind with positive emotions and thoughts while waking up is my promise to myself.
hi dear, had a look at ur website. liked it the most and felt something or the other to be interacted. son’t smell any foul intention. its only opinion to ur opinion. in pursuit of happiness uve written such a nice thing. very truly, each n every individual of us all has the right to be happy. unless and otherwise ur happy n cheerful, how are you going to make others happy. if a person with sorry state of mind, down and out just happens to see you, then first thing to appear into your mind is to analyse with his feelings. you suddenly feel awkward and start sharing the same pathetic situation and sympathy on ur part comes out. meaning, unhappy yield unhappy. the land of Buddha, Viveka, Gandhi, Nehru is full of blisses, but poor indians deprive them in glitterati of this material world. we cry during our birth, we fear during our end. if we do the same while living on this very earth then , we do nothing but add woes to worry. better try understand this way. we should fix a target. like if somebody wants to become a singer, having earnest desire to make it as big as Rafi Saab, Latajee, then ur there. aspirant singers will start inching towards the ‘goal’. During this process, they undergo toils and turmoils and just becoming skillful with each passing day. One day, if they are not turning into a star performer due to various circumstances involved, atleast they are justifiying their cause by becoming very good singers. listen them, you will be enjoying to the fullest not forgetting to cheer them up. this response is just enough to make them happy. wheres the matter of them becoming unhappy. therefore one must have some target, purpuses else, life would become very insipid and meaningless. correct naa dear?
Sohan, thank you so much for taking time out and sharing your thoughts in detail.
