Being Thankful

BEING THANKFUL 

You won't be happy with more until you're happy with what you've got - Viki-King

Being comparatively free and with ample of time to do things I like, personally resorted to one of my favorite  hobbies - Movies ! Yes, I am a movie-buff and can sit all day and watch any and every kind of movie under the sun :) Browsing through a list of typical Bollywood oldies (obviously not black and white), I weirdly chose a cold, dark and heart-breaking movie which has ironically won a zillion awards - BLACK. 

Having seen the movie a couple of times and being teary-eyed through it every single time I watch it,  suddenly it struck me what a handicapped individual might go through on a daily basis and how thankful should I personally be for being able to possess the basic senses that we all usually take for granted. Moving ahead with the same thoughts in mind, pondering over similar incidents - I began to think how beautiful Life is in all its simple ways and how much we all have - in small and big ways to be thankful for. I personally weigh the word #thanks #thank-you #thankful as words being associated with gratitude, satisfaction and appreciation.

It is impossible for a person to not have anything in life that he / she is not thankful for or about. Being a social-bee and a person who likes talking to people (I like my Me-Time as well), with every day in and out, I come across people (includes me) talking to about their lives, some problems, certain expectations, career issues, relationships, fights, thoughts and various other things. Going through these conversations in my mind, there is a minimal percentage of the talk which revolves around how happy or thankful either of us have been to the Universe for making us hearty and healthy, for bringing us into the world, for being able-enough to reach where we all are and for giving us Life that someone somewhere in the world Craves for. 

It is definitely not wrong or bad to wish , hope and ask for better. But it is definitely more important to be thankful and grateful for what we have and are as individuals and together as the world. With our lives being more packed, less time for ourselves, more time to think about what we need rather than what we require or have, it is necessary to count our blessings - even the small petty things that we take for granted. Take a minute and think about it, the list will go on and you ll be surprised that you have more things to be thankful for rather than what you crave for. 

Life is too short to hope, think and wish - its better to make-do, live and be content :)
