Look at the world around you, everyone is so busy in their respective lives. There is so much happening! People are worried about the things going in their life. If you have noticed, you will know that this problem of always worrying about things starts from the childhood itself. And accoring to me, this is mainly because we have always want to be the best. No! I am not saying there is anything wrong if you try being best but at the cost of your life! See, life is not just being alive, its a lot more.
Remember, our childhood summer holidays. How peaceful they were! But the problem started when our parents said, "This is a good time to complete your entire exam syllabus, others are chilling now, you should study now and chill later on when the others will work". Atleast this happens in India. Although most of us barely listen to our parents in this matter. But this is so unfair, I mean we should do things at the right time.
You have to be the best in the school, college, workplace, your partner has to be better than the other's, you kid has to be better than other's. And if at all, your marital life goes off track or your child scores bad or fail in exam, do you see how the atmosphere of the house becomes? The hush! hush! game starts. O god! I just don't want to talk about that.
Look, wanting the best is not wrong at all. But we do this in a very negative way. I don't know if you guys have felt this, but when I was young, very young, the days were so long still not boring, the sun shone in a different manner, a very friendly one though and all the plants in my home were my friends , I mean I didn't knew that we and plants are different. But you know the best part was that I was happy, actually happy. Unlike these day where I always have to say "I am fine", no matter I am actually fine or not.
We always worry about the future. But did you know? Another name for the future is struggle. There is a desire in the heart and if it is not fulfilled, then the heart plans for the future. Keeps imagining that the plan will be accomplished in the future. But life is neither in the future nor in the past. Life is the name of this very moment, that is, the experience of this moment is the experience of life. But we do not understand this simple truth and even after knowing this, either we sit surrounded by the memories of the past or we plan for the times to come and life goes on. If we take it right in the heart that all we can do is just be in the present and embrace the future, life would be so peaceful. By doing this every single moment of our life will be filled with life because happiness is not getting all you want but enjoying all you have.
The very essence of life is life itself. So just take a break, atleast for an hour, go to your terrace or even balcony , stand there, and forget about your worries. Just look at the moon, I am sure you haven't seen the moon for a while. Simply listen to your surroundings, the birds chirping, the cars moving, the wind blowing and if you don't have any of the above to listen to, then just close your eyes and experience silence. Believe me its very peaceful. It will make to feel happy to your soul.
