Often we don’t enjoy our day to day activities because most of the time our mind is preoccupied in thinking & analyzing about past and worrying & planning about tomorrow.
It gives us peace to find reason behind every happening in our life otherwise we continue thinking about the issue till we finally get some logically convincing reason. We are baffled if we do not find any reason behind any occurrence in our life. It makes us powerful to know that we have control over happenings in our life. This feeling of ‘knowingness’ makes us feel elated. It gives us a sense of achievement.
No wonder when we are in trouble, most of the time our prayers are mostly centered on seeking answers from God about why we are faced with unfavorable circumstances. Its mostly ‘Why Me?’ And then we want to know the timing ‘When’ this situation will end. In the process we forget about our present life and our daily doze of fun, laughter and enjoyment.
Our analyzing and reasoning mind has our future chalked out well in our mind. If we are sure how our future will turn out, it gives us peace. However, most of the time things do not happen as per plan and our doubting mind will not let us rest in peace. This is the nature of mind. Have you noticed that once we have got what we wanted, the mind starts craving for the next desire and again it is without peace till it gets the same and the cycle goes on. We all know how we feel if the desire is not fulfilled.
Therefore, if we stop worrying about what has already happened earlier in our life and stop too much planning about our future, we will be able to enjoy our life today without any burden. Sometimes it is better not to know the reason behind happenings at all. It is easy to live life without any worry about tomorrow.
Just enjoy life as it comes. Enjoy early morning chirps of birds, rising of sun, feel the coolness in the air on your cheeks, enjoy having parents, enjoy chatting up with spouse, enjoy playing with children, enjoy patting the pet and so on. Thank God for what we have in our life instead of worrying about what we do not have or have lost in our life.
The crux is that if we are not enjoying our present moment than every luxury and facility that we have in our life is useless. Sometimes it is good to be ignorant. Leave worries to the all pervading God. Spend atleast 10 minutes of the day with yourself. Stop the daily grind, smile, smell & feel the beauty of countless 'Roses' God has very kindly filled our life with.
