I like between time to time to have a relax gateway from my restless routine and overthinking mind. I just stay peacefully in wide green area … the feeling that I am surrounded by trees and birds is very fulfilling and make me very content and happy.
I missed this habit in morning for a while due to summer weather here in Qatar and I also missed doing things alone since I enjoyed others’ company this summer … but being alone has its own uniqueness … Just you and your thoughts, reflections and observations … no others ideas … no debates … no trying to convince what can be better … pure joy!
Today I decided to bring this habit back to life and I sat and enjoyed the fresh air in the early morning and there was a group of women meditating … they came before the session and chat together …. and I was just thinking how luck they are … they don’t need to go to work in early morning and set in front of desktops for seven hours … I was just looking to them with a harmless envy eye.
But since I am positive person, I just loved what they were doing and I imagined myself doing some future sessions with them … and I will treat myself one day if they do have sessions in weekend or I will take a leave and join them … I don’t know! The whole scene deserves to be part of it.
When I reached office, I had a chitchat with my colleague about my nice early morning recharging minutes, and since she is a new joiner to the work force, she looked to the scene from different angle as she was enjoying such morning walk when she was jobless but she wasn’t happy … she was looking to us the people who have routine and go to their work with harmless envy eye too !! … see, one scene two difference prospective, and then she continued , it is always about being content in the current situation you have, we just see one side of these people stories … maybe there is a mom who just have one hour break before her kids wake up, maybe and maybe different scenarios for each one … and it true.
The grass always look greener in the other side until you get there, You just need to change the seat that you look at life from, let’s say that life is a crystal ball surrounded by a circle of chairs, you need to move between these different chairs to see the whole picture (the whole story) … you can’t just set fixed in one place … and even if you want to do so … always changes come and force you to move … this is life.
I am grateful with everything I have now, what I am aware of and the ones that I am not aware of and I hope that god shower us with the blessing of gratitude and being thankful and also when we down and unhappy, I hope that god send for us people who constantly remind us with how blessed we are … so now I am asking you what is your blessing? List it and be thankful for it.
Counting our blessings and being grateful for what we have is the best gift that we can give ourselves. That keeps as grounded and free from the constant pursuits of things that we don’t have. The present is our reality; be content with that.
very refreshing
Very true….A wise man once said that we all are 100% …the only difference is that it’s divided differently among us.
Beautiful reminder of being thankful to what we have and value even simplest things that gradually will lead to peace of mind.
