 |   The simplicity of my day to day. |
| PROMPT November 14th Describe an epiphany or "a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you" that had a profound effect on your life and/or personal opinions. I can’t do better than this. #1 After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself. #2 I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders. #3 I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. A few pennies 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 my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than me #5 I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. The story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past. #6 I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection. #7 I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You" #8 I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances. #9 I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do. #10 I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race. #11 I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human. #12 I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships I will never be alone. #13 I have learned 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. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be! Number two was an epiphany when I suddenly realised that I couldn’t fix everything for anyone. Good to share |
