Life is full of Blessings, Count your Blessings

    On completing ten years of so-called adjustable life; a couple on their anniversary decided to be together the whole day. Early morning they had their breakfast at a renowned restaurant, been to a shopping precinct, watched their favourite movie in the theatre and in the evening visited a local beach. Both of them sat for a while upon the sand and watched the sun go down. Wife appreciated the sound of waves, the gentle breeze, the changing colour of the sky and every possible little thing that would make her happy. On the other hand, the husband was deeply engrossed reviewing the expenditure of the day, transportation for their return, workload the next day and so on. When the sun completely submerged below the horizon, the wife had the best day of her life enjoying every single minute. On the contrary, the husband had a normal day. Now friends imagine who do you think, made the best use of time? Whether it was the wife or the husband?   

          The same sunset reflects our life. When the sun sets on our life, just envisage how much time we have enjoyed life to its fullest, appreciated things and how much have we spent reviewing the past and planning the future. Just as people are ordained to take birth on this Earth once so is to die once in-between birth and death there is so-called life. Don’t ruin your life thinking about the past and then about the future. We have to live in the present and life will be meaningful based on the decisions we make in the present. We are not blessed to have a second, third or even fourth life so that we may compare our decisions. Make the best possible use of it instead of repenting when the sun is set. Live life as if there is no tomorrow. Spend added time by doing things you truly love and enjoy, with the people you treasure. Value every single moment, but one vital thing; don’t let it be ruined by worries about the future.

          Don’t live a life of illusions, try to be practical and accept whatever is given to you. Learn to contend and foremost don’t compare your life to the others. When you learn to be practical there is no question about what happened or what might happen.

          Lastly, make a note that one cannot live life to its fullest if he is not willing to give something back. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to part your funds, even by being compassionate about other people’s concerns mean a lot.

          Guide a person who is facing hardship, try to create a solution to a person’s suffering and you will not only be remembered as the person who truly made the most of your life, but also as the one who enabled others to make the best out of their situation as well.
