Life is full of surprises and experiences . Every day is a surprise and we end up with an experience . The kind of life depends upon us and how to pave it is our thing . Life isn’t complicated , we make it complicate by being hard on ourselves . However that does not give any right to run away from the bad days . Bad days and good days are in a recurring process . We cannot stop them and run away from them either. Life teaches us to hustle in bad days and to conquer in the good days . Obviously life does not seems so easy as I penned here yet we can make it subtle and simple .

Not always purposes

We always run after purposes in life . Do we ever bother about our happiness and sanity ? Some may and some never . A peace of mind is as necessary as earning a handful amount in this era . We always get bound to the purposes of things around us and never try to figure out the amount of happiness it can provide us . For example- Breaks tend to give us a break from our stressful days , it relieve us from exhaustion but we always mend it to not spare time for breaks like holidays , trips , hangouts or our own time break so that we can consume it for our work . But if a break can make us happy then why not take a break and be free even if its for few days or hours . We might not earn a full bread but we might be satisfied with the left over . So its good to carve our own future according to our interests and choices rather of pushing us into hardships. As we all know getting off a chaotic mind is very very necessary .

Grieving our griefs

So lets talk about our losses we have come across . It breaks us , it cuts us off and it hurts us . We always want to run away or just do not let it to hurt us right ? But when it turns back, does not it hurt us ? It do right , it will cause’ we pushed it away . We need to grieve our loss , we need to mourn our loss . Amidst our growth , we forget to grieve our loss so when it returns, it haunts us down . Mourning our losses is as necessary as celebrating our success . We should definitely spare time to get over our losses . Happiness is absolutely incomplete without Sorrows . If we can laugh then we should be strong enough to cry over our griefs .

Explore

Lying back on our couch and expecting things to fall in our way is heading towards destruction . Getting out of the comfort zone and giving it a shot will aim you towards your goal . It will help you to explore and be particular about it . Like for eg:- When we visit a shop to buy a furniture like lets say a chair . We try many of them to get a better one for our home . We never last on our first choice , isn’t it ? It also goes in same way in life , we need to give try to many to last at one . And if you did last at one at first go , then you have already sorted out your life.

“Be strong willed enough to fight your own battles .”

Strong will and power is very necessary to reach our heights . Never also compare yourself with somebody else because when you do so , you don’t really focus on your work. It’s distracting and can lead to poor quality work. Take time but come back firmly with strong will power .

Life tends to be easy but as I said it takes time and work to make it so . Never regret to go slow but never be your own foe .
