Take out time to be happy, its not so difficult

Before I do anything new I always chant the name of Lord Ganesha, right from childhood we have been taught that Ganesha is the God who removes obstacles from your path.

Today, apart from the lords name I want to thank all the people who have appreciated me so far for my writing through phone calls, comments or msgs, cannot name each one of them but it feels good when you do something and your loved ones appreciate.

Appreciation is something which makes any person happy, and when I say take out time to be happy, then I also mean take out time to make people happy as well, because when you make a person smile it reflects upon you, happens with me always, may be that is the reason I manage to smile most of the times. And I know I look beautiful when I smile and so do YOU. I do not do anything extraordinary at home or at work, but the simple things I do normally people tend to forget them.

What am I talking about, let me come to the point, right from beginning the day, feel from inside that I am gonna have a beautiful day today, you automatically feel good,but at the same time think that I am going to make the day beautiful for everyone around me too.

Start appreciating, your spouse for having allowed you to sleep a few minutes more than usual, your child for doing his or her work himself someday when you are tired, your family members for the little things they take care of whenever you need their help, your friend for calling you when you feel lonely and need a hearty laugh, your parents to stand by you whenever you feel you might not have done your homework properly and got hit, your neighbor for a compliment he or she gave for your looks, your teacher or your boss for something she taught you and it helped you reach your goal, lots and lots of little things which people around us do for us, which we think its their duty or what the big deal if they did it, why should I thank them, I also do so much.

You know why, because when you do some little or big thing for anyone, you love to be praised and when your deed is appreciated you feel good, trust me, if you also make others feel good the same way, it will return more often to you, not always but for sure you and the people around you would be smiling for that one word of praise they received or they gave it back to you in return.

When people say they love me or I am good at something, its not because I am too good, more often it would be in return to the many no. of times I would have appreciated or loved the little things they do for me.

We all need each other, I may be self sufficient but I also need love from people, I may be very good at planning and doing my work but without my team it would not be possible. I may be very intelligent but still there is a lot I do not know and I need to learn, so at every aspect of life we depend on each other and we forget to appreciate the support we receive, say Thanks, say Sorry, say you are looking great, say without you it would not be possible, say I need you, say You are the best,,,,,,,,,,,most of all as often as you can, to all your dear ones say I love you and I always will.

Ending the note with a quote " Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many not on your past misfortunes which all men have some"

Love you all, my world is beautiful because I have all you beautiful people in it.
