the magical world around us :)

Exams, fight with someone, bad traffic, high expenditure, whats going to happen next in my life- this is what we think about all the time. We keep replacing our worries with new ones! There’s something or the else at the back of our mind all the time! The other day I was listening to Paul McKenna droning on about how we should be happy all the time and the same kind of thing different philosophers put in different words. I always believed that all this was theoretical and cannot be put into practice; I mean it isn’t easy to be happy all the time. haven’t they heard... life isn’t fair!
We are always struggling…but then to think about it, why is it that way? Why is that we always give importance to our problems than every other positive thing around us? And if we really try to be happy, somehow happiness finds its way to us (Ohh yeah I do believe in the ‘secret’)
So I tried. For once, I forgot about my exams coming up, forgot about all the projects and assignments piled up in my table, forgot about the little fight I had with my friend and tried to see the happy things around me, and trust me there is so much of positive energy around us!
That smile from the watchman uncle every time I enter college, the impromptu trips to pabbas, the goodnight text message I get from one of my friend every single night, when i found something I lost long time back, a lucky parking place in the mall when I really wanted to go to one of those shops, mom making my favorite dish, last minute ticket cancellation by someone and then being able to watch the movie I’ve been dying to watch, my niece recognizing me after such a long time, a friend request from a person on facebook I hadn’t heard from since a very long time, a nice cool weather, some passerby just smiling at me, the letters from my pen pals, a hug from my friend, papa getting me some little gift, phone calls from my best friend when I’m really down, a polite rickshaw driver or a waiter, the satisfaction I get when I pray to God and knowing that someone is always watching out for me, instead of grumbling every time I trip and fall or do something stupid, suddenly its all funny to me. And suddenly life seemed so much brighter!
We may miss out the BIG things in life .I mean come on, I haven’t got an noble prize, im not a certified prodigy, Im not in the cover of the famous magazines, teenage girls don’t have my posters in their bedroom, Im definitely not the prettiest or the tallest person around but then these small things make my life special: the people living in my world!
If we really see there is more happiness than problems around us and I think we all deserve to be happy :) Because we all are special.

And like Shantodeva says ‘’ If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying? ‘’
