A Beautiful Day
What an amazing day to start with!
Everything (the trees, the sun, the birds etc) and everyone think so. For me, it is just a new day which began with thoughts on what needs to be done for the day.
I just woke afraid of not fulfilling the to-do-list for this day. A list that never gets depleted. All my days stringed to it.
The whole idea is to do things that will make me HAPPY in time to come. I keep seeking the happiness of the future.
Somehow, I do not know if I can get what is not mine. Will it be mine in time to come? A question I keep answering "YES" to always.
- Yes, I will be happy someday.
- Yes, someday I will do everything that I can't do now.
- Yes, I will be happy.
The phone has been ringing. Whoever it is believes I need to pick it up.
-I'll be right back.
Hello, please be reminded that in two days we should be ready for the unboxing presentation of the new product.
Yeah, I have it all in control.
Ok bye!
Of course, I have it all in control!
What else occupies my to-do-list?!!
What else do I not have in control?
Everything in control.
Is that true?
If it's the truth, why do I lack the conviction that it is. I can't make that statement without getting pricked!
I care for everything but myself! What a truth! Convicted? Yes!
How do I care for myself and everything? Is there a way out? Can I find that way now? - but I have so much to do right now.
Again, I just relegated myself. I'm such a master at this!
The Meeting With Me, Myself and I
What do we do?
Come forward and let's take a stand!
Remember the other day we actually took our time out to do something about this.
Yes... and?
Remember what the coach said?
Yes... and we are still here!
Remember what the coach said. ( I noticed it wasn't a question this time).
She said:
You have to choose to be happy now.
You owe yourself happiness.
Nobody owes you that!
You find happiness within.
You told me you are good with handling tasks and all that there is but you have to make you happy in it and with.
Start by seeing yourself in all you do.
Right now, you think you do things all right and perfect. Today, I challenge you that you will notice a drastic change and improvement in what you do the moment you decide to choose you and your happiness over everything.
You do not need to think you care for everything, everything cares for itself.
Imagine that you do not exist right now, do you think the world would collapse?
No, it won't.
What a meeting! I remember the list too.
The List
Now use this list to remain consciously happy!
With time, it will become an habit.
Make conversation with family/friends or visit family/friends. Have a social time out.
Wake up everyday with a thought of gratitude. Pick just one thing you are happy for the previous day and ruminate on it for 20 minutes. If your mind drifts, return to this one thought as often.
Smile often when you are alone. Smile at people.
Think and give compliment first even if the situation needs criticism.
Discover a channel to reach out to who truly controls the universe and everything in it - God Almighty.
Show kindness and offer a helping hand where necessary.
Excersise often.
Sleep more.
And this is your new to-do-list. Every other thing comes after taking note of these item.
The moment I was given my happiness to-do-list, I was sure that I would not be able to fulfill other task.
Now, I believe I could be wrong.
Today, we take a stand to be HAPPY!
