Let’s be kids again and learn how to live.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. “ Confucius

I am not a philosopher who will explain the life in his own creative way. I am a simple man and I want my life simple too. You might be saying who wants complications in life. That is true, but is it reality? We all know from deep inside that we are responsible for our own life.  Many times at the end of the day we think that situation could have been different or better?

If you ask someone which part of the life he or she wants to live again, then many of them will say their childhood. We all liked when we were kids mainly because our life was simple and fun. As we grow up we have to face the world and all its complications. I agree that we are bombarded with lots of responsibilities as we get old. I do not want to discuss about problems, but want to throw some light on how we react to it.

Let’s go back to our childhood and see how different we were. In the childhood even though we fought with any boy or girl, we would play with them on the next day. We didn't know what was hatred and revenge. We were so innocent that we forget what happened yesterday and now we cannot even forget what happened many years back. We keep all the grudges and anger that we cannot give place to love in our heart. Let’s be kids again and forgive everyone including you and spread love.

When we were kids the whole neighborhood would know whether we were happy or sad. We would cry loud without noticing people around us and we would not stop laughing when we are happy. Kids are so expressive that we always feel that their smile is innocent and real. They don’t care about world and they just be what they really are. They will smile and hug to their loved ones like they really mean it. As we grow up our smile get lost somewhere and is only visible sometimes. We start worrying about the world and forget about caring for our loved ones. We take our family and friends for granted and assume that they know that we love them. Let’s be kids again and express our feelings to family and friends and make them realize that they are important in our lives.

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.” Audrey Hepburn

We looked at life as there was nothing wrong in it. Everything was perfect. We wanted to make new friends, learn new things, have fun and enjoy each day to the fullest. We knew how to be happy and make happy. I know that we cannot be carefree like kids now, but at least we can leave the baggage of past behind and feel light. We cannot always smile like kids, but we can have one good laugh in whole day and can try to bring smile on at least one person’s face. I know we cannot live like kids, but we can learn the values of life and can appreciate it.

Let’s be kids again and let’s be free again and let’s live again and let’s be happy again. 

Share your problems with loved ones

“A problem shared is a problem halved”

Many people don’t share their problems because they think that others might make fun out of it. Unfortunately it is true to some extent. In today’s world people have become insensitive to other person’s emotions. Such people just want to gossip about other’s problem and want to enjoy it. I feel that behind this lies the desire of feeling superior. They want to show that other people have more problems than them. This does not mean that all of them don’t understand the seriousness of your problems; you just have to identify good human beings.

Do we have a moment to appreciate the beauty?

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everything in the world is beautiful because they are created by God. From aromatic flowers to mysterious mountains, from sunset to sunrise, from still lake to Wild Ocean, from animals to human beings, everything is beautiful. It is just that we need eyes to see it and heart to appreciate it.

Do you remember when was the last time when you stood for few minutes to indulge and to appreciate the beauty and left with splendid memory? I think it might be in your childhood, where we used to get happy to see even small creatures. We used to get amazed at nature’s beauty. As we grow, we change the definition of beauty and assume to be found in materialistic things only. 

How to develop and practice patience?

"A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else." George Savile

We all are in a hurry in today’s life. We drive crazily to reach office or we get frustrate to see the long queue at grocery store or we just don’t want to wait till other person finish his talk. It is like everyone is going on a war. This war is not with any outsider, but with your own self.

Our life has become very stressful because we want to finish something at every moment. We feel frustrated and irritated when things don’t go as per our plan. To get out of this mess we all need to develop one tranquil quality in our self, i.e. Patience. In the words of teenagers, keep it cool.

Thoughts on believing in yourself and an inspiring story

“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.” Norman Vincent Peale

Many times in life we face situations when everything is uncertain. We feel like we are lost in the dark and there is no hope to get out of it. We desperately need help from other people to take us out of dark, but we forget that we have light with us, within us. That light is nothing but belief in yourself. Belief that I can handle this and everything will be fine.
