travails on train travels

To be able to accept a handicapped child-to love him, and to ensure that he has a full life is an extremely difficult mission for a parent.

And we……who have all limbs ands senses intact run after a life to maximize it.

I wonder……………

A friend sent me a thought- don’t count how many moments in your life-it’s about how much life in a moment.

All of us-who are doing so much…trying to do it all…… live it up-all these new age mantras…….

Lets first sit back and count our blessings…..and then a take a deep breath to absorb all that is around us and try to be happy where we are…….instead of trying to reach places----we need to BE-live in the moment.

What is contentment?

We say we need to scale a peak and then we stop-but what if we see another pinnacle waiting for us to reach?

Do we have the discipline to stop?

Should we stop?

Instead,

Should we try to go through each day by being good human beings-happy with what we have-and happy with where we are? I think we should be able to absorb happiness with an equal embrace as sadness-taking it all in our stride-as we now understand that life happens.

Socrates said:“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty”
