One step at a time

    It is already the third week into the new school term. Many of us have begun our journey in various fields, as students, teachers, sales clerks, caretakers......and already we are looking forward to the next vacation. Just the mere fact that the responsibilities of the day seem too overwhelming at times, makes us return longingly in our minds to that place where we are far away from anything that involves work, traffic, assignments, daily demands. Am I right?
   Life is indeed filled with many responsibilities; many we cannot escape, so why not enjoy life in the process? Have you ever had thoughts which begin like this : " I will enjoy my life when.... " ? When? When what? When I graduate then I can happy....I can't wait to move out from this neighbourhood...then I can be happy...If I win the lottery only then I can be truly happy...when I get a better job I would certainly be happy!.I believe we are all guilty of at least one of these. Why not choose to be happy now? Yes, it is a choice! Why make happiness a destination?
    Whenever we place a criteria on happiness, we can miss so many valuable lessons in life, including the beauty that we are slowly becoming within. Maybe that traffic we encounter everyday is teaching us to be patient. It is tiring yes, but enjoy the ride! Maybe your job has several disadvantages, but that is where God placed you to learn a skill, develop confidence and create your own business in the future! Some day you will graduate, but enjoy the ride! You are learning skills that you didn't have when you first started.You are being groomed for better things, so enjoy the ride!
  Remember, where you stand today was yesterday's future....and where you stand today will be tomorrow's past. The common factor here is today which we must enjoy. So do not worry about life.
Every man dips into his soul and by his very words creates his own destiny... simply enjoy your life...one step at a time...


Enjoy YOUR life!
