"Life is not having or getting, but being and becoming"
Well, I could not have started this post better, than by quoting this thoughtful saying by Mathew Arnold. This post is a simple way for me to yet again connect with my readers and talk about my favorite topic, motivation for life.
It’s just another day when I am driving back home, while gazing at the drizzle, with a thankful heart. How nature just sometimes give us pleasant surprises which we never await? How sometimes some incidents transform the meaning of life which we never anticipate? Life is, for good, things are, for better!
Each day of life is like that surprise birthday gift that you unwrap, with several expectations about what would be beneath, heart brimming over with joy and hopes. But, in real life, do we really appreciate our days and make the most of it? Do we really walk with hope everyday and take whatever comes along in our stride? Do we look at things as opportunities to take control of our lives and make it better? Just a pause to keep you thinking on that……
Motivations in life
Life is a canvas, a huge, blank one, where we are the artists to decide our strokes. Your definition of life is completely determined by you. Make it a paradise yourself, nobody is born to be in a heavenly life, it’s simply how we perceive it to be. Allow your heart to love, to thank, to forgive, to laugh, to hope, to nurture courage, to survive miseries yet expect a good day and to grow.
Start appreciating yourself, honestly and look into the mirror with pride and honor. Life is not what you have but what you are, your being, and what you become. The way you steer it, the routes will be made! Your life is your identity, it is synonymous to you. Not everything comes in a sugar coated form in life, and not everytime things will turn out to be what you plan. You have to make time to fix these more often than not bugs, without failing.
You know often we just make a mountain of situations and start complaining, instead if would just look at it as a phase and think wisely, your heart would feel much better, so would you. You don’t have to try hard to achieve happiness, it’s just a regular thing, it’s not a plan, it’s not a destination either, it’s something that is as basic as eating food, you just simply invite happiness, and it shall abide, it’s that dutiful and loyal.
Don’t even look for it, just stay calm, and appreciate the best things about your life and there you go, a ready smile on your face. There’s no great soul without trials, so even when the wind is not in your favour, you need to hope for a stable weather.
Kiss your life everyday, give it a hug without expecting anything back, and you will realize how it falls for you; see the beauty of being and the feeling of becoming! If you wish, so you will and if you will, there’s nothing that can hinder you from achieving the life that you dream of. Don’t forget to have a clandestine love affair with your life, for that’s the beauty of bonding with yourself for a lifetime. Did I mention that start applauding yourself and the way your life is…..for that’s the greatest achievement one could have.
P.S – There’s nothing as exciting as life, and there’s no one as beautiful as its respective holder.
This is so motivational & one of its kind. Love yourself first that will help you to love others.
