You must have heard people going on about how hard their life is. Some complain about their tough studies. Some whine about how they don't have a whole bunch of friends to hang out with. Others go on either about 'the one that got away' or lost friends. Some have family problems while others are just lost. They don't know who they are or who they want to be.
Among all these people there are some souls who are always smiling. They're always happy, spreading joy. They chat with everyone like they've known each other since forever. They don't resent anyone. Studies, friendships, family, everything is perfect for them.
When we see such people there's always a nagging question in our mind. 'How?' How on earth is it possible that nothing fazes their happy go lucky attitude? Don't they have problems like everyone else? If they do then how can they be so jubilant all the time?
Well thats easy. Yes they face obstacles like every other person. Life's never easy for anyone. But attitude towards life is what differentiates people from each other. Everything depends on how you react towards the ups and downs of life.
Sometimes life sucks but that doesn't mean sulking or whining is the way to cope with what life's throwing at you. Instead of moping around if you develop a little positive attitude and just take a look around you you'll find yourself captivated by the smallest of things. These are the moments you realize the worth of everything and everyone around you. You understand how to cherish little things that make your life complete and worth living.
Take a look around. Feel grateful to God whenever you get to see the sun after a long dark night. It means you were blessed with a whole new day to start afresh.
Enjoy the chitter chatter with your sisters. Tease your brothers back whenever they start doing the same to you. Beacause some day, you will be sitting in your home, enjoying a hot steaming cup of coffee and suddenly your eyes will light up and your lips will curve upwards into a small smile just thinking about the silly jokes and teasing of your brothers and pointless chatter and laughter you shared with your sisters.
It never matters how big of a group you have of people you call friends. Only a single person can fulfill that position. A single person can be your best friend when you need someone to talk to. It can be the same person who makes you laugh until your stomach hurts. Nothing else would matter as long as there is someone you can turn to when everything feels wrong.
Smile whenever you meet someone. Help an old person by carrying their baggage. Make faces to a little kid you see on your way and feel contended when he laughs.
Stop over analyzing small things. That is the main reason even the small things start complicating. Love and respect everyone around you, you'll be loved and respected in return. Doesn't mean there aren't going to be haters and jealous people. Just remind yourself its their problem not yours.
As for the most common complaint of students. School/ College/ Uni is too tough. Studies are a burden and so on. My dear fellows studies are a burden as long as you think of them as such. Open your mind. Let your imagination kick in because everything can't be understood by a pile of books. Use your creativity to mold what you have to study into what you can understand.
Life is all about simple things that we don't even register in the hustle and bustle of our busy schedules. As the title suggests Life's Simple. Yes life is indeed as simple as you take it to be.
So here I am sending smiles to every single person that is reading this. Be happy, cherish every single moment with your loved ones. Spread joy not only to those who love you but to those too who hate you.
And when at the end of the day, you lay in your bed and think about your day you'll be ecstatic to find that there won't be a single resentful or depressing thought in your mind. You'll be completely at peace with yourself and your life. That's the moment you will believe that yes "Life's Simple".
