Live life

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." I read this quote and started to think.

When in school, my focus was on studies...high score...get the right group that I needed....get into a good college...become a technocrat.. Then was to get placed in a good Company... then to learn the job well and be good at it...to gain the confidence of the lead and Manager...get a good rating during appraisal...get on-site opportunities to travel abroad...The focus was always on what next...that I realized that I didn't really live that moment.

We are so busy planning our lives that we do not have the time to live life - this gift of God.. and do stuff that really makes our lives happy. Its true that we all need to be motivated, think about the future and grow in life. But what is the point if we really do not enjoy what we are doing. It is not possible to live life backwards.So look ahead and enjoy every moment of your life. Spend time with your friends, your loved ones, take a walk by the park and admire nature, listen to your favorite songs, dance in the rain, play with your children and do anything and everything for joy.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it!
