If someone were to give you a surprise gift.. say a weekend getaway at goa.. ur tickets are for saturday and you can stay until monday evening.. think about it.. how would you be feeling while ur packing on friday ? Undoubtedly super duper, totally excited, upbeat, charged up, refreshed already and so very happy !!
scene two : ur already in Goa on the monday morning, living the holiday you were so excited about.. but how do u feel today ?? think carefully... most of u will be in the same boat as i would be.. not so happy, dreading to go back home, sad that the holiday is about to get over, sulking about the traffic and workload waiting back home for u !
So ironic that when we look forward to a bright new day ( eg: the packing friday), we already feel happy, and well, that may be the best day, even better than the one you had in Goa, simply because of the way you made urself feel...Saturay may be a nice day as well... but Monday, you pre programme yourself on automatic, to imagine a boring, hard day at work and at home and in turn, spoil the day and waste what could have been the most exciting part of your holiday !!
No one asks us to imagine this 'everyday' as hard and boring and uneventful .. No one makes it like that.. no one except we ourselves ! and for no apparent reason..we havent forseen the day, we just generalise and decide that life is going to be hard so we might as well mourn it ..why smile and waste time ?
As a chore, i used to hate cooking.. Waking up early everyday and getting into the kitchen to make the same boring food .. yukk.. i woudlnt even want to eat it.. with that unbearable start, i would lead myself into an unbearable day... One day, i decide to change that..just experiment with what may happen if i decide to pay less attention to the chore itself and enjoy the rhythm of the routine.. The only thing i do differently now is, listen to music while i cook... sing all my fav songs that make me feel great, romantic and loved.. ..such a small change...do i feel a difference ? oh hell YES !!! Time flies now, i dont realise when i started and when i finished.. as a matter of fact, i dont hate cooking anymore .. I look forward to my everyday .. so that when the day starts, i get another chance to sing my fav songs, feel loved and romantic again !
what a blessing everyday can be.. if we decide to look at it like one !
