Seeking happiness in sad moments

sadI have often wondered on various little things. One of them being the “fact” that whenever we are going through a tough and sad patch in life we tend to forget to smile. Why is that? We all do know that when we are sad we are using more energy than what we would be using if we were smiling right? So why is it so tough?

Oh yes maybe because the devil’s job is done when he tells us that now life is over, we are finished and nothing can be done. But that’s just the time to pick the bat up and bash the devil’s head “the invisible devil ofcourse, don’t go beating someone in real”

The moment you do something which is the opposite of doing what your heart is telling you to do which you KNOW is wrong, that’s when you win over your sad feelings and moments.

Ask yourself the following whenever you are sad:-

  • Is it a matter of life and death?
    NO, then chill and smile, there is hope
  • Is there no way out of the situation?
    NO? Impossible.. there is no such situation which you can’t find a way out of
  • Are you the ONLY one going through such a phase?
    Yes? Come on.. that’s impossible, it can’t be :) Others might be in a worst state but smiling

There is a trick to getting out of a miserable state. You have a mirror in your room or house right? well next time you are miserable and very sad, look in it and ask yourself, would YOU love to be around yourself right now :)

If the answer is NO, then wash your face, wash those tears and make yourself lovable because that’s the REAL you! That’s how we ALL were made.. the hate and sadness is the product of our own silly expectations..

Smile!

I often wonder how many of us really take the time out to be grateful for something that we have. Actually everything we have is something we should be thankful for. Let’s narrow it down :) Things that we can be thankful for.. right here right now!

  1. You are able to read and write (Billions around the world can’t do that)
  2. You have eyes that can see your loved ones (Billions around the world are blind)
  3. You can HEAR your loved ones (Billions around the world are deaf)
  4. You can walk wherever you wish (Billions of people around the world are unable to walk)
  5. You can speak (Billions of people around the world are mute)
  6. You have a roof on your head when you are sleeping (Billions and billions more have no home to live)
  7. You can have food daily, not once not twice but lots more times (Billions of kids sleep every single day without a single grain of food)
  8. You are ALIVE!!! (Gazillions are not.. you have the choice to either MAKE something out of it, or waste it sleeping or sitting reading this post :)

So now let’s see.. your turn.. a few of YOUR reasons to be grateful for, and as a token of respect towards humanity, do click here to donate a dollar or two in order to feed a few hungry kids :) Can you imagine how many prayers will be sent your way when they eat today?

Add your reasons to be grateful for :)

Tough Battle Of Life

Written by :

Yes it seems tough N in a way it is as well
but on painful memories we can’t sit N dwell
We need to forgive-forget N move on
As tomorrow is yet to come N yesterday all gone

When we feel everything around us are fogged with gloom
N nothing we see ahead but a haunting doom
Don’t even think of giving up, even if we need to grope
lookin at the bird with hurt feet but flyin, we get back our hope

We will hurt, get hurt, cry N as well gift our dear ones some tears
We are humans not angels, we got our dreams N some fears
The battle we fight the tough journey we silently spent
All we need to realize is that life’s not for us permanent

During the life we sometimes are evil N sometimes kind
We listen to our hearts, as well as having an eye on our mind
Being humans we shouldn’t look in others for perfection
Rather mind our lives N look regularly at our own every action

We all individuals got the same song to live, Only with a different tone
We all are given a soft heart, which by choice some convert to stone
Yes pain we’ll experience, living through this tough battle of  life
Taking care of our loved ones, mother,father, siblings, children, hubby or wife

But could we have survived without these beautiful relations?
How can we not be thankful to God’s all creations
These relations teaches us about love, honesty,  joy N pain
Exactly, by investing time in these relations we only gain

Life is like a colorful rainbow, starts from ground ends in ground
We are here to learn, experience N grow, not to get bound
Climb the mountain N then being scared to take steps further
Not even daring this much, what can we expect from our future

I would recommend to every beautiful soul, do yourself a big favor
With faith, hope, belief, love – Mix your life’s own flavor
Live this tough battle of life with strong clear conscious
Keep in mind the day of judgment, N it’s powerful justice.
