I Wish...

I wish, I wish , I wish ...

How many times have you heard yourself and people around you say this? How many times have you said it yourself in the past 3 weeks?

I wish I had more number of hours in a day
I wish there was no traffic on my way back home
I wish it was not so cold
I wish my headache vanished
I wish my friends didn't play politics
I wish my children were with me always
I wish my co-workers were more sensible
I wish my friends spent more time with me
I wish my spouse took a moment to throw me a loving glance
I wish there was no hatred in this world
I wish I had done better with my career
I wish people around me smiled a lot more
I wish my life was simpler
I wish the world was a better place ...

Could we change any one single thing that you can directly influence, in the endless list above? things that trouble us every single day? Of course, we can. I do strongly believe we can. We can change everything we have a control on, all that pertains to us- one step at a time. In our little world that surrounds us. Think about it - for every trouble that comes our way, there is at least one thing you can do to help yourself to fight it, resolve it. It is all about finding that single thing ! At least we have the power within ourselves to change our own lives - every single day.

While you work on changing what troubles you, there is the other factor of missed opportunities. Factors that will make our tomorrow, while we continue to live them or miss them.

Never deprive yourself an opportunity of grabbing that single thing that can change your life - you blink your eyes and it could very well pass by you. Silently. You will not even be aware of what passed you and what it could have done to you and your life. This is true in our personal and professional lives - every single day.

Change it now while you still have the chance to. While you are still in the moment, and are living it.

Don't lose that moment....for you will never get it back...Have you ever met a person who has lost a beloved - a friend, a brother, a sister, a son, a parent ? Ask them and they will tell you what it means to do what you always wanted to do -right now, without losing a single moment. The hugs they would have given, the fights they would never have had, the bitterness they would never have shown, those special somethings they never shared, all those things undone - just another day, just another minute in their lives would have made all the difference, to tell their special people how truly special they were to them!

Without sounding pessimistic, to put across the reality - we never know what tomorrow holds in store for us. So, maybe we should live our lives doing all those little things today, for which we may not have time tomorrow.

SMILE AND BE HAPPY - IT'S YOUR DAY TODAY!
