This is the very first article I am writing on the topic I am not expert in. But, I always believed to write something worth sharing. Recently when I was waiting for my ride, cursing the driver for coming late, I realized something. Our life is exactly what we want to make it. By cursing other I am making myself upset and making my own life miserable.
You can't complaint others for not being happy. It's something comes from your inner peace. If you can't find that then you have no right to blame anyone for your misery.
For me life is like a house, some live like a tenants and some like a owner. Live large as if it's your own, fill it with beautiful colors, amazing people, open air, beautiful gallery. Decorating walls with your favorite art piece, deciding your own cozy corner, where you can sit and spent hours with yourself. This house if your life, your moments are the walls which you design with your beautiful memories. All these things make your life perfect and livable. Keep your home clean and peaceful, cut the negative strings around.
But some people live their own life with other choice, with others suggestions and advice which makes you feel you don't have your own choices. Then you start feeling like it's not your own life. Your living someone else's life. These people live their own life like a rented apartment. They are regulated by their surroundings. Live in a house they don't like. It's the most difficult job. So, why pushing yourself for this? Live like a owner. Regret is not something you can live with.
If you want to live large like a owner, then you have to make your own decisions, you have to take responsibility of your own choices. You should be ready for all the adventures of your life.
Focus on minor details of your ordinary life.
How many times you have noticed the shape of the clouds? How many times you tried to make people more happy then they are? How many times you have spend time understanding and solving your issues which make you cranky? What was the last time you did something childish? How much time you spent with yourself, doing nothing, just feel the positive vibes inside?
Take a break and think!
Do you really wanted this life? And surviving daily to live this life?
How about cooking something special for yourself by learning from YouTube video? Or maybe learning simple dance steps in your free time after office, before going to bed. It's doable, only if you want! If you want to change your life, you have to take some extra efforts.
Beauty of nature and life is all around you have to just start seeing that.
Zoom in zoom out function actually works in real life. Things will look more bigger if you focus on that. Things will fed away if you don't see them that way. It's upto you what you see.
While riding to home from office, lot of people see the traffic, gets irritated with that. And some people observe and see the normal things with great curiosity and those people make world a better place to live. Its all about your perspective, you see the traffic or things nature wants to show you.
I am not a photographer or a traveler, but I like observing life around and finding the nice frame. I capture the ordinary life which you and lot of other people live. But I feel very excited every day to find the things which people ignored in the race to become successful. I might not be earning more than them, but I am sure I am more happy than them. I might not have professional writing skills, with all the grammatically correct sentences, But I know how to express what I feel about myself, about the world around me.
It's a personal article based on my life experience and I hope you will be having lot of similar experience. Please share with me, I would love to add those in my upcoming blog. I am always excited t learn more from your experiences. Please comment your thoughts, It might be not the perfect article but nothing is perfect in this world, neither am I.
