He hated his life. Why because he had so many responsibilities. His farther died when he was very young. He had to shoulder many responsibilities. He always felt that when others were enjoying, he was working. He hated his life and if something new came up, even if it was good, he found it as an additional burden. When his son was born, he felt the same. He felt that he would have additional responsibilities and yes it is true in a way. He would have additional responsibilities. But life never comes one-sided. If he would have additional responsibilities, he also would have so much love from his little child. It would also strengthen his relationship with his wife. So finally he reached a stage where he felt, he could not do anything more in his life.
But then he realized, it was anyways happening. Birth of a son, a new business which brought new friends and exposure and many things like that. If he planned to buy a new house, he had to put in extra hours of work and money but he also got the luxury of living in a bigger house.
We all have such experiences. What we choose to look at is our choice. We can curse the night time or we can sleep through it and look forward to it. Life is happening and is always happening. Whether we like it or not. So we better start liking it. We can waste our time hating our lives or we can spend this time in appreciating the journey we are traveling. It is non stop. It’s always moving. If we stop by, does not mean life also will stop. And whether we like it or not, this is our life. This is who we are so we better accept that and enjoy that. We cannot wait for a lot of things to change and be happy. We need to start appreciating and feel happy now with whatever we have. Not to mention, a better thought process creates better next step in life. In similar circumstances, I have seen people very happy and very sad also. It is up to us, how we feel and what we decide. We need to set our priorities as per who we are rather than comparing lives with others and feel sad. Love yourself, love your life. Do not compare. Comparison is always one sided with whom so ever we decide to compare. There are always who are better than us and that too at that moment for the thing we are comparing. And there are always who are less fortunate than us. Comparison is futile. We find the comparison depending on our convenience. So we can choose to look at the better side and feel grateful too.
Love it before it goes.
