It's a Beautiful Day

It’s a beautiful day and I thank god for it with all eternity.

When I woke up this morning, it was dark, cloudy and viciously white all around. I thought “Arghhh, not again..!” I dreaded getting out of the bed. The thought of a whole gloomy day ahead of me was scary. But life, as we know it, is cruel enough to pull one out of the bed even on a cold dark day.

As I woke up and started doing the household chores, the sun shone through the thick black clouds and the skies appeared clear. I was happy and wished that it stayed like that for the rest of the day. Little I knew that the clouds and the Sun were up to a game of hide and seek. As the day is passing by, am seeing a little of sun, a little of clouds and a little of both together.

Isn’t this like a metaphor for what life is? It indeed is. We experience bright and sunny days where everything seems to be in our favor. We experience the dark and twisty days, where nothing is good enough. And then we live those days where we feel just okay. Happiness, Sadness and Satisfaction respectively describe the above mentioned days of our lives.

When we’re happy, we’re too busy to look around and pay our gratitude to the universe. When we’re sad, we’re blinded by the grief to feel any compassion towards anyone or anything. It is when we feel just okay, we ponder on the moments of joy and the moments of sorrow. And that is when everything around us gets a meaning. That is when we get the courage of solving the never ending jigsaw puzzle of LIFE.

There are thousands of philosophies that try to explain what life is. But ultimately everything boils down to just one philosophy – “Life is how you see it.”

When life throws lemons at you, make lemonade. When it offers you wine, relish it. And when it’s a dry day, enjoy the lemonade and wine moments :)

Belief is the keyword. When everything is black, one should believe that the darkness is not here to stay. When everything is white, one should believe that it will stay like that forever. When one starts believing the BELIEF, life goes on to a Grey mode. There is joy, there is sorrow and all in all there is a feeling of being content and satisfied. Being content is a feel good factor. A good feeling leads to a happy mind. A happy mind builds a happy soul. And a happy soul makes this world a better place to live in.

It’s a beautiful day. I thank the clouds for sparing us from the scorching heat and I thank the sun for throwing light and make us feel warm and happy.

It’s a beautiful life and I wish that the same beauty takes over everyone’s life.
