Today I was feeling  very low. After quittin  my job this is going  to be the first month when I won't  be getting  that credit message  I my inbox which we all eagerly  wait for. For a moment  I  also doubted my decision.  I thought  to myself  did I take a right decision  or I should  regret. I was confused.  Lost in my own thoughts.  I was really  trying  hard to motivate  myself  but you know  sometimes  it just doesn't  work. But I had decided  that instead  of focusing  on the problems I should  be focusing  on the productivity.  So I started planning  things that can help me in coming  future.  I diverted my focus on other things  that would  make a better  sense in practical  life rather than engaging  myself  in wasteful  negative  thoughts.  I allowed it to come because it was natural  and I hardly  had any control  over it. But simultaneously I also let it go without  pondering  much over it. So the day went by occupied both physically  and mentally . 

After having evening  tea we decided to step out and go to the market. I thought this would freshnup my mind. Alas!!!  I was so lost in my own thoughts that I couldn't  even speak to my partner. I was silent.  Then we stopped  by one shop and my partner  went out of the car. I stayed back. Sitting  alone. Again  bombarding  myself  with all those worries and problems.  

While I was engrossed  in my own world my eyes got stuck suddenly  onto one roadside  umbrella  repair worker. He was an old man.He was busy repairing  one big umbrella. The multi color one. He didn't  even have  a proper shade to sit. He was literally  sitting  on a gutter with lots of umbrella's around him.And I suddenly  realized  how blessed I am to sit in the comfort  of my car safeguarding  myself  from rains. But then I also realized that I was so unhappy  with my situation.  I was worried thinking  about  the future. I compared my life with that old man's and noticed that after having  so much more than him I was still unhappy.  For what?? I had everything  that man must be only dreaming  of. For him my life would have been ideal one then why not I think it that way. Because  we humans always  compare ourselves,our live's,our situations with others who are better and bigger than us and never with the ones who lack the kind of happiness  we are already  experiencing. So even we become unaware of our own blessings in life. We always  crave for something  more everytime. That's a typical  human tendency.  We really  need to change it.And trust  me guys the moment  we change our perspective  towards life we all will be happy. ALWAYAS!!!!!

Happy Reading!!!
