All it took was a simple wake up call.
It just shakes me up,
Wakes me up,
Takes me up,
To the most important element of life…
Realization.
Each day, each hour of my life,
Is a new seed of thought.
A seed that is yet an innocent, wondering part of me.
I wake up to enjoy the essence of the morning movement of
the sun,
Touching me and caressing me gently as I lift my lashes,
To see what I normally miss.
A space within me.
Completely mine.
The rich soil, where I let the seed be sown.
My thoughts!
Gathering a lot of strength,
I let the thought seep in.
The simple thought of Joy v/s Sorrow.
How easily I say, “I am not as happy as others.
Not content as others.
Not enjoying as others.
Not having time as others.
Not being able to spend as much as others.
Not being able to create as much as others.
Not being able to cherish, as others do!”
How easily this complaining thought creeps in…
And I keep trying to find my answers.
Rarely, or never does it peep into my mind to ask,
“I am not as sad as others
Not as poor as others
Not as unwilling as others
Not as unhappy as others
Not facing the harshest realities of life, as others.
And much more.
How easily I deny comparing others’ struggles to mine…
And keep blaming others to have created the limitations
within me.
How selfish am I.
A single thought.
A selfish thought, yet again.
But this time I am sure, it is
letting me grow, walk thru’
A journey that has just begun.
A journey within me,
Called LIFE~
