Surely
at some time, at someplace you must have seen a toddler or a little kid just
spontaneously dancing /shaking in rhythm, to the music, it's just because of the fun
or sheer joy a child experiences while doing so, it’s not done to attract the
attention of someone, nor for the sake of any competition. That’s the way we
should live our life, simply, because life in itself is something to be celebrated every day.
WE SHOULD JUST DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF LIFE.
Life shouldn’t be a constant struggle to achieve more, to collect more diplomas & degrees, or to get a high profile job, or having a big house , a fancy car or fancy clothes…… instead we should just be enjoying life. Sure, having all these fancy things can make life even more enjoyable, but we always need to remember not to get too preoccupied in a constant pursuit to get them, that we forget to enjoy life. If we waste all our time, effort and energy chasing what we don’t have, we will never get a chance to enjoy & appreciate and enjoy what we already have.
It’s also true that most of us spend more time worrying about what others think about us, Instead of that, why not take out a little time to examine what we really think about ourself. Are we living up to the standards we have set for ourself ? If we can look at ourself and with all honesty say that, yes, we are living up to our own expectations, then we are a real success, our life is a success.
Success is living life the way you want to, on your own terms.
A successful life is all about
finding a balance between enjoying what you have, while working toward what you
want to achieve. If you find this balance, you can truly enjoy the life you have.

Ohh, a very lovely post, Dad! It's what you've always taught us while we were growing up,huh? No regrets, do what your heart says, the little things in life are important, just live life the way you want to without giving a damn about what others think! Now, we'll refer to those words as 'Dancing to the music of life' ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I found this lovely quote that goes so well with your post:
"Life is like a piano, the white keys
represent happiness &
black keys show sadness.
BUT
as u go through
life’s journey,
remember that the
black keys too make music!"
I think, I'd like to groove to a waltz throughout life, you know it's slow and romantic and graceful...but I know I can't skip the hip-hops, Fox-trots, Cha-chas and God knows what that come my way, so I'll take you advice again, just change my dancing shoes each time and give these new dances that come my way, a try! ;)
Loved the post and yes, a very happy b'day to Appu! :*
