I asked one of my friends who has crossed 65 & is heading to 70. What sort of change he is feeling in him?
He sent me the following
very interesting lines,
which i would like to share
with you all.....
1) After loving my parents,
my siblings, my spouse,
my children, my friends,
now I have started loving
myself.
2) I just realised that I am not
“Atlas”.
The world does not rest on
my shoulders.
3) I now stopped bargaining
with vegetables & fruits
vendors.
After all, a few Rupees more
is not going to burn a hole in
my pocket but it might help
the poor fellow save for his
daughter’s school fees.
4) I pay the taxi driver without
waiting for the change.
The extra money might
bring a smile on his face.
After all he is toiling much
harder for a living than me.
5) I stopped telling the elderly
that they've already
narrated that story many
times.
After all, the story makes
them walk down the
memory lane & relive
the past.
6) I have learnt not to correct
people even when I know
they are wrong.
After all, the onus of making
everyone perfect is not on
me.
Peace is more precious than
perfection.
7) I give compliments freely &
generously.
After all it's a mood
enhancer not only for the
recipient, but also for me.
8) I have learnt not to bother
about a crease or a spot on
my shirt.
After all, personality speaks
louder than appearances.
9) I walk away from people
who don't value me.
After all, they might not
know my worth,
but I do.
10) I remain cool when
someone plays dirty
politics to outrun me in the
rat race.
After all, I am not a rat &
neither am I in any race.
11) I am learning not to be
embarrassed by my
emotions.
After all, it's my emotions
that make me human.
12) I have learnt that its better
to drop the ego than to
break a relationship.
After all, my ego will keep
me aloof whereas with
relationships I will never
be alone.
13) I have learnt to live each
day as if it's the last.
After all, it might be the last.
14) I am doing what makes me
happy.
After all, I am responsible
for my happiness, and
I owe it to me.
Why can't we practice this at any stage and age.......Just a thought
