She was 27 and always laughing and smiling. People used to say that if they would look at her face, their day would light up. She was like everyone’s sunshine around her. One commented and said that she must have never seen any kind of bad phase in life and that’s why she is always happy. She smiled and left! Another gentleman who knew her closely said that she has seen many ups and downs at such a young age, more than we would see in our entire life. Because she is still smiling, she is like an inspiration to all of us. She had a tormented child hod, she had an abusive marriage and got divorce at such a tender age. He got shocked and went to her to ask, how she handled all this?
She said that it was difficult. It had been painful. I have been devastated. I have been through many things but after all that I have realized that good things are still there, good people are still there. I was about to pile up the fear that all men are bad and they do not respect their wives but is it true? So I have never stopped believing in good. Good did not happen to me does not mean there is no good in this world. It’s like if you do not have abundance does not mean, no one has abundance. Like we have to work for money, we need to work for happiness also in life. If it’s difficult to earn money, even it’s difficult to earn happiness. It takes a lot of effort to stay happy. I put in those efforts. So if someone tries to bring me down, I always tell myself that I do not have to just because someone else is doing.
If I would become negative, I am the only one who would be suffering. Yes I have had bad experiences and I understand those people. It does not mean I live with a hatred. I am careful of them. But I do not push away everyone just because someone had been bad. I do not keep crying all day because there had been tough times. Life is good and good things are there. I believe in that. My reason to smile is Me! Because I know I can make a difference. I do not allow myself to be sad because of others.
