Smile its Life

Sometimes its so easy to get bogged down with all the responsibilities, the expectations we have about our life, that we forget that we are just travelers passing by and to enjoy this journey, we have to be good travelers.



Life is precious, we are important, we are unique, and these are the very statements that inflate our self-importance and ego. Self-importance leads to comparisons, which leads to envy and sometimes better than thou attitude. I am definitely grateful to be alive and enjoying this beautiful planet and the priceless relationships and friendships, but am learning to be a good traveler, I should not ignore where this journey ends. Here are the five things that help me face the life truths and bring me back on track



Life is greater than us. : We are just a speck in this mighty universe. The world doesn’t stop of us – life doesn’t stop for us. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or self-pity , I just sit under the stars and realize that my problems really don’t matter . The mountains, the ocean waves, the stars were all there before me and are going to be there always .



Change is the only thing permanent: We always assume life is going to remain the way it is – especially the good times. I remember how I eager I was to grow up and be an adult – and now I wonder what was the rush. Whether we like it or not, change is part of life, change is the law of universe and we should be prepared for it always, especially when times are good.



Contentment is underrated: In our western society, contentment is definitely not considered a virtue. We are always in the improvement mode – always improving – either our bodies, or our face or our smile or trying to improve our brain. The day we learn to accept ourselves just the way we are, we are peace.



Humor: To really enjoy the journey, make light of your problems, laugh and smile a lot. Laugh and the world laughs with you – cry and you cry alone. Surround yourself with people and things that make you laugh and smile, if not learn to laugh at yourself.




Live in the present: I hear so many people my age talking getting all nostalgic about college and school days or looking at pictures of children when they were babies, I rarely do it. Somehow, the present, no matter how tough it is (believe me it is), is still where I want to live. I realize the more I dwell in the past, the more miserable I get. Learn to live and enjoy every minute of the present.

Declutter Your Life

Why is life so uncomplicated for children and seems so tough for us? In today’s busy life, when it’s not just necessary to keep up appearances with neighbors and relatives, but also with the extended social network, life can get overwhelming. Here are some of the steps that bring some sanity back to my life.




Get your priorities right: Make a list of things that you really value and love. That should be the reason for all that you do. It might be music, your career or in my case it’s my family. Time is the only commodity that you can’t buy back, so be very careful who or how you spend it When we get our priorities right in life, you have a reason for every decision you take and life becomes more focused and easier to manage.



Learn to say “no”: There are so many unnecessary things that complicate our life, our so called “Friends”, stuff we buy, long dead emotions that we keep alive, unresolved issues and other emotional baggage that are redundant and not relevant in our life now. Make a list of things/people that don’t bring joy in your life. Do you really need them – how much time/energy do you spend on them? Learn to say no to people and issues that don’t matter and simplify your life.



Organize your Life: It’s so easy to drift away, to get carried away – maybe its shopping, maybe its forming relations, adding “friends” on Facebook etc. After you have weeded out the unnecessary, make sure to keep it simple and organized. Keep limited space in closet – limited hangers, if you buy something new; be sure to discard something old. Nurture yourself and your relationships to develop healthy self-esteem.



Develop simple pleasures: The best things in life are free. Learn to enjoy the sunsets, the flower in the garden or simply the chirping of the birds or simply browsing through some old pictures. Develop relations that are meaningful, to be embraced in positive energy and love.



Give up: Sometimes you have to give up on old habits in order to make life easier. I had the habit of cooking every meal fresh, but when I got busier, just trying to keep up with it everyday got me frustrated. I had to find a happy medium of prepping for the meals on the weekends and delegating more chores to the kids. Flexibility and compromise definitely help in simplifying life.
