The best moments in life are like water droplets. Once you start paying attention to the smaller details, you see the
water droplets falling from the partially closed tap. One of the sayings
on the page of my favourite author Paulo Coelho, always brings me back
to things that actually matter:
"Life is Short, break the rules, FORGIVE quickly, KISS slowly, LOVE truly, LAUGH uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you SMILE. "
A normal day is like water gushing from a tap, there are no particular moments you remember. You need a change, when you see your life as a journey from one weekend to another (yes, that boring high paying job which you ache to quit).
It is so easy to say this, but truly difficult to follow. The time to enjoy life is now, not tomorrow, not that vacation you have been planning. If everyday we can do one thing that makes our heart smile, we have a droplet when we close the tap at the end of the day. It does not have to take an hour, even ten minutes of watching the sunset with your best friend would do. It has become even harder to do this thanks to the "virtually connected" world we live in.
The water droplets are relative. What one person sees as a droplet, might not be the same for another person. Social media like facebook can muddle our thoughts and confuse our perspective of happiness. I feel liberated to say that my facebook usage has reduced to a bare minimum (yes, I think it is right to say I was a facebook addict).
Life is finally back to those droplets that matter, made up with people we care about. Have a nice day folks. Hope you see the droplets that make up the flowing water.
