The spice of life

We all are unique, our finger prints, thumb impressions and structure of DNA are unique. Sometimes on certain points the people are categorized as like and unlike minded persons, but the like-minded persons also differ on various points. It’s the beauty of human behavior that every person behaves in a different manner, their words may be same yet their actions and reactions differ to some extent. For few people, life is a beautiful experience whereas for others it’s burden and full of negativity only. The most versatile and accomplished writers and musicians wrote and sang about the loveliness of life.

After waking up in the morning every day and while going to sleep every night, we all have few thoughts in our minds. Sometimes those are so intense, that we keep struck in those only, for whole of the day, or have few unfulfilled dreams, those don’t let us sleep and keep us in pensive state of mind. Our moods do not let us see and feel what is happening around us. Having the life of one’s choice is not the cup of tea of every person but to make it happy is in the hands of everyone.

We all have the potential to add spice to our life. After waking up in the morning plan your day with the calmness of your mind. The initial few minutes after waking up decides, what type of day will be that day. Try to be silent in the morning at least for two hours, do not speak much, if it’s very important to say something, say so in a very low voice. Our mind and body are full of energy in the morning, if it’s wasted in doing less important things, they get exhausted. Save your energy for the rest of the day.

Once I visited my friend’s house, her house was located in the middle of the city, the houses were too near to one another that the sound of television or the crying of a child from one of the houses can be heard in all the nearby houses. There was nothing in the name of silence or peace of mind. The area was densely populated with the people of every age, market was also situated in that area, the horns of vehicles and the sounds of hawkers were creating more noise pollution.

 I was wondering how the people live there, and what would be the plight of the of the sick and ailed people, the small children who are very sensitive to the minutest sounds and the students, how they manage to focus on their studies. While pondering about these petty things, my eyes fell on a woman and a young girl. Both were smiling, looking at each other after short intervals, then started giggling, pointing at something while looking downwards. It made me curious about that wonderful sight that was making them so happy while I was feeling sick of the enviornment around. To my utmost astonishment they were looking at the cycle which was being ridden by seven persons and the by standers were trying to count the persons seated on the bicycle and forgot their counting every time as one of them fell down every time and lifted by the other persons.  Both the women were finding happiness in tiny incidents, then I realize that no matter where you live, in what circumstances you live, you have the miracle within you to put spice in your lives.

The moments those leave permanent impressions on our minds, become part of our lives, live with us till the end of our life journey. With the passage of time all wounds heal no matter how deep those were, but the scares remain there to remind us that we had undergone the pain and help us to overcome that and become wiser. Life is a journey enjoy the ride, every individual has her /his own life story, but the emergence from blue is the real story. When we start finding happiness in trivial things, and we laugh in those moments, we are adding spice to our lives.

The potency of our brain is immense. Healing is within ourselves. Most of the time people create pain for themselves as they cling to it and feel pleasure in that. Many times, we come across the persons who love listening to the sad music, not because they are in some sort of pain, just to assure themselves that they have certain type of feelings in them today also.      

Happiness attracts happiness, sadness attracts sadness, choice is ours as the law of attraction is perfect, what we attract comes back to us. Whatever we give that will come back to us. One can make one’s life full of joy while adding few positive ingredients to it. Few of these are here. 

• Add love, laughter and happiness to our life. Love is the most important ingredient to make our life pleasing, gratifying, caring, gladdening, inspiring and satisfying. Genuine love is the force behind our survival and makes us both lovely and lively.

Sometimes, the people who laugh more hide the pain behind their smiling faces, but they try to be happy. Eyes never lie these carry the truth. No one cries when you cry, people laugh with you when you laugh. So be cheerful.

Smile, it’s contagious. Whosoever notices you smiling, smiles with you. It is the inexpensive gift that we an offer to the people especially who are old, dejected and in pain.

• Caring and sharing are the other components. Our care for our own people makes them as well as ourselves happy, confident, loved and secure.

When we are fed up from our insecurities, we always need someone close enough to tell us that s\he care for us, to make us secure. You can be the one to do so.

Sharing is caring – the popular saying, but it’s vice versa for me, as we share our things only with those whom we care for. When we start understanding the problems of others, only then we get the courage to share our belongings.

• Health is the enthusiasm to work. We can keep our mind and body healthy, while making small changes in our day-to-day life. Little exercise, walk, yoga, gardening, running, playing, any sport or dance help us to keep ourselves fit and enthusiastic. Good music also add aroma to our lives.
• Adequate sleep also adds flavor to our lives. Proper sleep freshens and rejuvenate our mind and body. A little nap after lunch time fills us with more energy and enthusiasm to work.

• We all have healing properties within ourselves, our bodies and minds have their own repairing system, little care and knowledge on our part can keep us fit and apt.
• Another component is to follow your passion.

The rainbow has seven beautiful colors in it. The single word that we use for these colors is VIBGYOR. Add different qualities in your life which I put forth with VIBGYOUR.

V-Virtuous (morally excellent), I-Illustrious (notably or brilliantly outstanding), B-Benevolence(tenderheartedness), G- Grateful(gratitude), Y-Yielding(flexible) O-Optimistic (feeling or showing hope for the future), R-Resilient (tending to recover from or adjust easily to change).

A little change in our mindset, leads us to happier and easier life. We ourselves complicate our lives, with the burdens which are not really ours. There are two types of mindsets-fixed and growth, opt for the growth mindset, a person has the capacity to learn throughout one’s life. Every year learning, trying and doing something new and different make life’s journey more attractive.

The human mind has the ability to go beyond the zenith, add spice to your life with hope and courage.

Life is like a dish that we prepare for ourselves while adding different ingredients to it with our own choice, according to our tastes. Don’t take it like a plater presented to you on your table, shape it with your own choice of hues and qualities. Mould and shape your life according to your intellect and wisdom to make it worth living.

Stay safe and blessed.
