Anecdote #5

Another day has come and gone, another story has ended. If we try to capture our everyday life we can weave such a beautiful story. I watch my grandparents and their friendly spats, when my Dada craves for another scoop of ice cream and my Dadi turns him down. The way he tries to woo and please her, it is all so amusing. We often look up to other people's lives and deem them to be perfect and we aspire  to be like that but there is nothing like a picture perfect life. If we learn to live and accept the hardships we face in life and by some way learn to stay positive then by all means I think that is perfection.
Today I did a lot of cleaning. Clearing out all my old books and clothes, which in a way cleared my mind of all the clutter. While I was clearing out my school stuff, I thought of a friend of mine and decided to catch up with her in the evening. I felt the heaviness escape from my mind and I felt lighter. It feels great to just let go and talk about one's feelings, if you ask me it is therapeutic. Suppressed emotions can make you feel burdened and out of place.You feel like a lost piece of a puzzle, waiting to be put back into place. A phrase from the book,'Three Men in a Boat,' epitomises this which says,'Throw the lumber over man!' Enjoy the beauty that resides all around you which is in nature and the people in your life.
Learn to pick up the best of things from people. The flaws they have may overpower the goodness in them. If we only look at the bad then we won't have anybody to be with. Appreciate even their smallest act of goodness because in the darkest of times, the good we see and feel ignites the spark of hope. Remember the present is supreme , the past and future came after it. Try to look for joy and warmth in all this noise and clutter. Take a moment to identify your passion and give it time, it will surely lead you to the path of realisation as it will help you get in touch with your soul. Turn away from the negativity and embrace the positive aspects of you your life.
