Take time to enjoy simple things in life

To enjoy every bit of happiness and things whether it is small or big no matter occurred in life….. first we had to develop our internal side for that…. because …from my view…if you don't enjoy the happiness which you found… in your life…by your inner side then ..you only show your happiness to outside the people only or nothing else… that you only happy for that … but you not enjoy it…for yourself. You could look at a sunset/sunrise. Look at the beautiful stars in the night sky. Smell the roses( literally), or other fragrant flowers. Plant a garden or vegetable garden and reap the rewards from that. Go to the beach and put your feet in the sand. You could go to a park and look at all the greenery & trees. You could birdwatch. Play your favorite music. Read a book that interests you. Cook something special for yourself or those you care/love.

Enjoy the little things in life because one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”The little things are essential because they comprise the vast majority of our lives. Here are some list of little things that fill us with bliss. Keep Track Of The Small Things. Live in the Moment And Appreciate The Little Things. Appreciate Yourself For The Small Things. Compliment Someone For The Small Things. Take the time to be grateful for the little things in your daily world. Expect less, be realistic and set smaller goals to feel that sense of accomplishment. Enjoy your work or find work that you enjoy. It’s not all about money. Forget about failure in the past and live for the moment. Enjoy the moments happiness. Quit worrying because 90% of what we worry about don’t happen. Adyashanti said “There’s no way to become happy. We simply need to stop doing the things that make us unhappy.”

Pleasure being the experience by taking and Happiness being the experience by giving and the latter lasts very long if comparing the two. So, first we need to decide what we seek. In my view, our dreams, desires, wishes are keep evolving and when we expect same from the things/people we have or surround, i.e. if we want to take pleasure out of it then eventually we despair, they cant give us same experience what we are thinking or dreaming. To seek happiness is to give and when we give our time, thoughts and emotions to them, we eventually finds happiness.

To enjoy the little things you have to rewire your brain. You have to bite your tongue, bite your tongue and bite your tongue. Most of us are prone to being annoyed and commenting at the bad little things instead of noticing and enjoying the good little things. It's a matter of learning how to comment on and enjoy the good and zipping it and shaking off the bad. Everything starts with not flapping ones yap about the bad things, getting control of your word hole and working like hell to only acknowledge those good things in life. Once you stop paying attention to and acknowledging the little bad, you'll notice how much more than just a little good there is around you to enjoy.

You pay attention to them. This is one of the uses of meditation. You can hold an autumn leaf, clear your mind and intuit its life and death. Where did it come from? Where is it going? It has somehow come into your hand. You can toss it away without thought, or realize you hold something that never was before, and never will be again. You will happy and sad at the same time. This is Serenity. Breath and find moments in your life that your are grateful for. And try to remember what you felt seen and all that good stuff. Then put both hands on your heart. Feel it, just know it beats a million times a day and you don't even have to think about it, your alive just because your heart chooses to beat for you. You didn't have to pay for it and it will be with you for the rest of your life.

There is only one solution for obtaining this nirvana: “you have to experience small things in life” And how do you experience small things? The answer is “simplicity” Have you ever imagined why village people are so happy? Because they are epitome of simplicity. Simple food, simple houses, simple talks, simple lifestyle. They know the value of small things. They appreciate the value of small and simple things. Feeling hot? Spend a night on open roof putting a table fan over an air conditioned room. Want to have a relaxing bath? Take a bath in an open veranda where the cool breeze will multiply the effect of cold water. Want to drink water? Choose earthen pot water over Bisleri. Feeling hungry? Grab some hanging fruits from a tree over lays chips. Want to burn some calories? Hit the countryside on a bicycle over a treadmill in a gym. This is real happiness. Because, simple things make you feel happy from inside!

Very recently I was having lunch in a local restaurant, there I saw an old couple probably in the age of my grandparents above 70 having lunch, I could see both sitting not too close and having different types of food, after sometime grandma almost finished her dinner and suddenly grandpa take his payasam (Kheer) and offered that too her with love first she refused and looks embarrassed, but grandpa kept on forcing her to have and finally she had that with the same love, by watching this scenario I couldn't control myself sudden happiness from nowhere, just felt proud of their presence on the Earth. I just didn't know why I'm happy for them, but “I just found that the real love happens without recognitions” and find happiness in small things rather in grand big things of life. Cheers!
