People (me included) pay hundreds of rupees for seminars just
to listen to people speak of how they may have more of these! It shows how
important these things are !
Sometimes I wonder, I ask myself – Who are the people who
are the happiest in this world? Or the more healthier or even wealthier?
I think about adults. Some believe in God, others don’t. Some
are married others are not. But very few of them seem to live lightly and
lovingly. Both the young and the old seem to be weighed down with the worries
of life.
I then turned to Children! – Only children can leap, dance,
shout………. Endless enthusiasm they seem to have !
I wonder do they have the secret to a happy life ?
Anyway what keeps them so bubbly, joyful n fresh ?? I found a
few traits.
They have -
A short memory –They really live by the maxim ‘Do not worry about tomorrow, for the morrow will take care of itself.’ Easier said than done. What if I told worry only robs you of potential energy you need for today. Chill, nothing’s final.
Enthusiasm – They care less for what others will think about them. Remember that’s a very important factor in life. Much has not been accomplished because of “Log kya Kahenge?” i.e what will people think about me?
Interest- oriented living – Its well proven; make learning interesting, the dumbest child will be involved ! Do more of whatever you are interested in. Easier said than done ? Give one hour of your day atleast thrice a week for your favourite hobby.
Desire to cry for they want – Cmon, I’m too dignified to cry for what I want ! Yeah, that’s right. But do you know that you are far more powerful than children to fulfill your own wants and cravings? The truth is most of us have never asked ourselves for a long time, “What do I want?” We have thought - that’s not important. What’s important is what do my kids want or my elders or the workplace or society. We rarely give space to – ‘What do I want?’
