Make today the best day of your life

Ravi Matah - About life's little happenings

It is the quality of our thoughts that define the degree of our own personal happiness.

Materialistic accomplishments alone can never bring contentment in ones life. One can always derive satisfaction if one  tries to extract a smile or laughter from daily occurrences in one’s life. Major windfalls of good fortune, that you hope might give you contentment and make you happy, will happen only once or twice in your life, so don’t keep waiting for them to occur, but enjoy those small moments which happen every day.

Why do you wish to waste a whole life time which is full of happiness?

It is the attitude that matters. You should control your attitude or it will control you.

Live life king size, fill it with fun, laughter, love and affection. Be happy. A person with an honest and true heart will always smile. If you cannot find peace within yourself, then there is no peace in this world.

Those who don’t expect from others are the most satisfied people on earth. Seeking help from others leads to unhappiness because it is not always that others will help you and this will lead to discontentment. Yes, some people might help. On the contrary, if you help someone in whatever way you can, it will definitely give you an iota of satisfaction that you have been of some use to another person. If you get an opportunity to help someone, don’t loose that opportunity because someone else will grab it.

The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be full of challenges. You solve one and another comes up and this is a never ending process right from your school days till the time you tire, retire and expire. So admit the fact that problems are there for one and all, and you are no exception. Just don’t be overawed if someone drives past you in a Mercedes and you let your heart skip a beat. No. Always remember that he also has his set of problems. Thus, remaining happy is the only path to ensure smooth flow of life.

Good deeds are never lost.  We should always plant some trees knowing fully well that we’ll never eat their fruits nor sit under their shade. This will definitely give you satisfaction and make you feel good.

Last but not the least, never seek revenge for any wrong done to you by another, because thereby you keep your own wounds fresh and waste precious time. So, be content, stay away from greed and enjoy today – because today is the best day of your life.
