A blooming flower, a chirping bird, or just the weather makes me happy sometimes. On the other hand, when my mind remains me about all the regrets I have, everything that I have not achieved, things that I failed to manage; I feel numb- not sad, not guilty but numb.
It's better to be happy with the small things around rather than thinking about the bigger things for a moment. I find it's not contradictory to 'deep thought' or anything. Rather small things are a little escape from our struggle. Also, they play a big role in creating happiness. See, we go through a lot mentally and physically for our achievements, the journey is not always painless. So what we would be if we don't notice the small things but waited for the bigger things to happen?
People say you are a loser that's why you think this way. Otherwise, if you have something bigger in hand you will not find time to focus on the small things. I say that's a relief. I never wanted to be occupied with all the things that matter less in life although I used to be the one. Now, when I stepped back, I never feel guilty.
Just like a few days ago, we went on a family tour. It was nothing fancy but a hectic day in reality. But guess what? I sure produce some core memories which I will cherish for a long. This is exactly what I'm talking about. If I achieve something bigger that sure will make me happy or anyone. But on top of it, the things that come with small things are much more fulfilling.
Last week, I had the opportunity to read some of the amazing writing in this community about 'small things'. I was wondering seeing a lot of similar thoughts. It's something we usually don't talk about rather we always discuss the bigger achievements in life. But the thing is we human comes with the same manual and that's why our thoughts and emotions match this.
I was thinking the same while sitting on the riverbank. The people are happier statistically compared to many other so-called rich nations. This never fails to surprise me. Because every day I see the life struggle of people on the street, even I also consider myself a hustler. But I never consider myself less fortunate or unhappy because of my struggles. Maybe it's possible because we learned to focus on small things.
After all, small things bring greater joy to life.
No matter what we may be going through, I think Happiness should always be there on our thoughts, living a life when we tends to be sad all the times is bad and we should never considered such, happiness is freedom, a free life and the best life.
That's the thought that always goes on my mind. Thanks for always bringing up more positivity. :) :)
