These Little Things Matter The Most

Life is all about how we look at it and how we take it. Many a time, we find people getting desperate to find happiness. They have set some standards for what is to be called a "happy life". If they meet those standards, then all is said to be well, otherwise, the "problems" of their lives start. Unfortunately, there are many, for whom the basic needs of life doesn't get satisfied. Happiness to them means, getting food three times a day for all the members of the family, having a roof over their heads and some cloth to cover themselves. There are other category of people who have much more that the required, but still, they are never happy with life. It should be accepted that human beings always have a longing to be something more than whatever they are, so there is nothing wrong to aspire for more. However, there is no need to get desperate because there is a lot in our lives to be very happy about. First of all, we should be very happy for having been born in this beautiful world. As long as we breathe, we have everything. For being happy we need not do big things, but little things can matter a lot. If I am asked where do I find happiness from, then I can give a big list of very small things as follows.
Every morning as I open my eyes, I need to see my mother and then the rest of the family healthy. Once I finish that check, I am more than happy. Then I take it for granted that the rest of the day would be happy, because it all depends on me, on how I make it. Then I relish the food cooked by my mom.In my entire life I cannot find any cuisine tastier that my mom's food. While eating I also make sure to thank God for qualifying me into the list of people who are able to eat. I also wish that every life in this world should be able to eat. I take much pleasure having a happy chit-chat with family and friends. Recollecting memories of childhood, school and college will make my day the best. Next comes my dearest friends, books. Usually one feels good after reading a book, but I feel elated even as I just take a look at them.Of course, I read them too 😃. I equally enjoy writing . My love for music is also very high. I listen and sing as well. It heals my pain. I like collecting stationery like pens, new notebooks, colour pencils, drawing sheets and what not. My life generally revolves around these things and I am very much attached to all these. Not only these, whatever I do makes me so happy.
All these may sound silly, but there is one important thing to observe. The simple things that happen to us every moment will accumulate and make a big life. After all the run for happiness, finally when we reach the last stage of life and when we look back,we would repent that all the way we ignored life, we ignored the simple things that make life beautiful. I would like to tell that contentment is a necessary ingredient of happy life.Also, if you have people around you who can care you, share your gains and pains, who can wipe your tears and heal your pain, then you must be the happiest and luckiest. Meanwhile, don't ignore those little things that make life beautiful and also don't forget to smile . 😊
