Cafe Philosophy ( monthly)- July 2014
Everybody is busy and everyone is working hard in life. No one wants to feel bad at the end of the day. We all want results out of whatever we do, and that also of our desire. Why we do all this hard work in life and even if we are not doing the tough works, we all want happiness in our lives.
Happiness is the ultimate core of all we do in life and you can even use alternate words for this; like satisfaction, feeling of success and achievement. But the biggest question is why we don't always achieve happiness out of every task that we do?
Before peeling the onion to this question, the important thing to mention is that happiness is not the destination , its rather a method of life. Also that happiness is a relative term and can be meant differently for individuals.
Whatever is the translation and definition to this term, what is common to everyone is that certain good feeling that almost is the feeling of accomplishment. Why we cant feel it everyday or in most of the little of big tasks that we do in day to day life is because we forget to live in our present. Most of the people live either in their past or in future, but they never grab the moment and its importance in real time and space.
For the moment, think of what are you doing at this very moment? You might be only reading this blog or eating something or anything tangible happening ! But you might have forgotten that you are living in the present moment with all the good health you have, your family and loved ones that are the reality of this moment. Realizing the fact, that your life is much better than may be many others on the face of earth and that you are still not dead, but living and with all the important good or bad realities of your life. This is i believe, is the most important thing in life to remain in your present.
If something worse is happening in the present tense of lives; becomes much worse when we assume its implications in future and dread by past of either ourselves or of others. Learning from past is one great thing a mature mind can do, but remain stuck in past and worrying to the highest degree about future takes the present out of the scene!
That is the scenario of our minds, which keeps us worried most of the times and do not let us appreciate with all maximum resources and capacities we have in our in our present.
Appreciate your life with every thing you have! Search for positive things in your life that will help you to remain happy in your present. Learn from past, be prepared for future but live your life in your present!
