Beggars would ride, right? But don’t we keep wishing for something or the other nevertheless?
The other day some kind of discussion cropped up about how each negative thought that we think eats into our psyche and affects us adversely. Someone popped up the million dollar question - "Do positive thoughts enhance our mental well-being then?"
Well, doesn't it? A chubby little baby smiling at you - Doesn’t that light up your face as well? A chance finding of a dear personal belonging long lost/forgotten - Doesn’t that make you glad as well? A good clean joke heard, fun filled siestas with friends, a silent viewing of an old comedy that has always been a favorite, a garden full of blossoming red roses... Doesn’t each one of these scenes, moments rise your spirits?
How difficult is it to be happy? What does each one of the joys listed above cost? And which one of your personal issues/conflicts/tensions do they fail to diminish, if not conquer altogether? Just remember, no matter how big or how severe the problem appears today... In retrospect, when you place it next to life as a whole, it does appear dimunitive!
Life is made of simple pleasures. Simple joys. Simple moments. Don’t fret too much trying to find inner peace and contentment in other distinct venues. Its lies in simplest of stuff that is available in abundance everywhere!
Life is beautiful. Too beautiful to waste on trifles anyways!
