There comes some situations which makes me think again and again on reason why something happened. Obviously those are during the instances which makes feel uncomfortable or unhappy. The ones in which there is no discomfort, at times are forgotten.
In life’s journey we experience the challenges which may not always be exciting . But what helps enjoy this journey in fullest is when along with these challenges, a track of good things that happened is also kept, which are mostly forgotten and are never felt grateful for .
I was always feeling overwhelmed on certain things bringing me down. In all that pressure and negativity I forgot about the amazing things which were happening.
Over the period I learnt that we all undergo similar challenges all throughout life. Each of us face that. Some of these happen sooner in one’s life and some of these happen later. The interesting thing is that we all can benefit out of this timing difference and help each other as well as benefit out of each others experiences. And more importantly appreciating the things which are there with us and happened to us.
So last week I decided that I need to reflect every day and be thankful for whatever small or big thing which made me feel happy /brought positiveness/ helped me.
So here it starts:
