In today's world we are constantly running to fill ourselves with the big and great of everything. We have come so far that a lot has been left behind, unseen and unattended.
We are stressing over things like big house, super cars, latest mobile phones, exotic holidays. We often neglect the little things in life that make a big difference. We are forgetting that what we have with us is already a blessing, the home we live in, the car we own, the phone we use, the places we go to.
We have a healthy body, we are alive, we have a roof above our heads, food in our fridge, clothes on our body, thats a blessing in itself.
People below our strata want a life that we live. We stress over shoes, someone out there wants legs to walk, we stress over branded clothes, someone wants just a piece of cloth to cover, we strss over modernizing our home, making it presentable, someone out there needs just anything above their head, we stress over outings, trips, someone out there is staying far from family to earn the bread, we stress over prescription glasses, contact lenses, someone out there needs just one eye to see the world. We are favored by god. The life we take for granted is the life they ask from god.
People around the world are suffering so much today, miserable is an understatement for them. They are exploited to great extent. Amidst the pandemic, lives are getting worse than anticipated. Well off people are financially unstable today.
Above all, religious, political riots add to the suffering of the underprivileged people. A day doesnt go by when they live peacefully, eat 3 meals of day, have clothes to wear. They are devoid of the basic necessities which we take for granted. Their lives are at stake.
We are privileged beyond measures and we should be grateful for that. Our expectations have soared high with the growing world. We need to be thankful for the small things in life which ultimately pave way for happiness in life.
The less you expect from the world the merrier you live. Being content with what you have today, being happy in just this life will make a huge impact later on.
Living the best life out of what you have makes you a great person and makes your life even greater. Our expectations wont end but living over them is what makes life easy and happy.
