About Me

I believe that ultimately..happiness is the key. A day is only wasted when one is not happy. I aim to be happy everyday no matter what happens.

Gratitude

I once read of a housewife who had four kids and who was quarreling with her husband everyday and complained a lot about her life. Her pastor told her one word which changed her life forever. And that word is "gratitude".

How many of us had forgotten how to be grateful to the simple things in life? We had all forgotten to be grateful for what we had. Rather we were focsing so much on things we do n ot have. Our focus should shift back to what we have. Focus on the glass half full, n ot half empty.

I have not paid much attention to gratitude lately. I should. Instead of thinking of all the things that I SHOULD have and obsessing with what life SHOULD be...I need to pay attention to the things I already have and be more grateful for them.

It is too much pressure being a prefectionist. Why even try? Life is as it is.
Just being is good enough. Being in the now. Being contented. Being grateful. Embrace rather than reject. Go with the flow...

Who says life is going to be easy? take everything as learning ecperiences. It will not be easy adopting such an attitude but it is better to have a positive approach rather than a negative one. Positive energy is always better.

Just like I am more or less having a mental block now but who cares? Just being is good enough.

Better to love than to hate.
