‘Enjoy Every Moment’ was a wish that came to me that got me thinking about how we usually tend to ignore enjoying every moment. If we think of it as a reward, we would value it. The more we value anything, the more we give importance to it and take it more seriously, thereby relishing it.
It is all about perception. A soldier in the Army or a sportsman value every moment and utilizes the best of what it offers, since he knows that ignorance can cost him a lot – in one case, it could cost him his life, and in other cases, it could cost him a career. They seldom have time to correct their mistakes, so taking additional care and remaining vigilant is their way of life. This also imparts them the attitude of enjoying every moment, and you would see them utilizing every moment more productively than the common men. If we all, who are not in the Army or Sports, personify them and start resonating their outlook, I am sure we could notice the happiness lying in every moment. We could unfold the power of every moment.
There are instances in our life when sorrow empowers over happiness. It is the human tendency to embrace negativity faster than positivity, owing to the way we all have our upbringing – we tend to look for mistakes and error rather than applauding success and strengths. This also leads to discontent and discouragement take a front seat. Even if it does embrace us, we should learn to detach ourselves swiftly not allowing our thought to sustain it for long, and instead focus on the positive factor of every moment or activity. Once we develop this habit of appreciation and gratitude, we would realise that the joy of positivity is far higher than the grief of negativity. That would keep us going and relishing every moment. This also, in turn, makes us a good human being and enables us to serve others and derive happiness. Ultimately, it transforms the surrounding around us and creates an aura of goodness leading to cheerfulness.
Often focusing on the right words and perceiving things with the right attitude, enables us to see the positive side of life. This is a very important aspect of our daily routine that needs to be exercised. It becomes a wonderful re-charging medium for us, energizing our performance, thereby letting us reap the fruits of success. The more we preach this methodology and inspire others to follow this routine, the more satisfaction we derive has been of assistance to others. The entire community around us is then a better place to live.
