All the happiness you deserve!


It's a happy Friday night, the thought that I am traveling back home makes it even happier. Proves to me any day anytime can teach us to better ourselves, we just have to keep our eyes and minds open. You know what they say 'mind like a parachute... works better when it's open'.

I am standing on the doorway of the speeding train gazing out thinking what made us get out of the Jungle and move to the concrete Jungle we call home... Maybe its imprinted deep inside our mind by numerous people telling us its the right thing to do... We never gave it a second thought to try something new... After all we thought, people knew what was good for us..

Suddenly I see a six year old boy with a big grin on his face running toward his father standing next to me.. The next thing that happened shocked me, for no apparent reason I could think of the father hits his son. Perhaps the father had asked the six year old not to run inside the train. All I saw the kid do the whole trip was not to run or try anything new boys his age would love to do and of course no grin this time. Probably an effective way to make the kid do what you tell(force) them to do.
Brought me right back to my conscious thought process... Is this the answer to our question? We have been force fed by society on what is 'good' for us for so long we may have lost the ability to try something new on our own... Something that we love... Something that would make us happy...

I guess we still can wake up and try those small things that makes us happy and better ourselves one step at a time. If we try and do what we can, we will surely astound ourselves with what we achieve!

Breathe... Smile... Take one step at a time to better ourselves. May you achieve all the happiness you deserve :-)
