Life's Lifeline.

“Your life is a book; make it a bestseller.”― Shanon Grey

Life is a book with beautiful pages that is blank. No one knows what it holds. But all look forward to fill its pages with hope and faith. Some pages may be bright and colorful. Some may be grey and dull. Some may be smudged with ink. Some may be beautifully written. Everything depends on how you take life. Your attitude towards life will reflect upon your days. If you look at ‘obstacles’ as ‘challenges’ that make life ‘meaningful’, you find happiness in it. If you look at ‘obstacles’ as ‘problems’ that make life ‘miserable’, then you will never find happiness. Learn to convert every challenge, as something that has come to teach you something about life, and make that experience as an advantage to lead a better life.

Life is always beautiful inside out. The life of a butterfly teaches us to take life as something beautiful, a butterfly though its life is short, it enjoys life in the nature surrounding it. We are very quick at pointing out different things that upsets our composure. We  think it is because of others, but never realize that the fault lies in us ourselves. Actually we are at fault for losing our composure.

We complicate life because we expect it to work in routines and patterns.  Some point of time boredom sets in, and then we go about finding a scapegoat for it, fret and fume. It is up to you to make life interesting with the creativity you have in your mind. There is beauty around, you just have to look for it and realize that there is beauty in every moment of life in the things around your own home. You just have to simply looking and seeing the life you are living a bit differently and change every challenge of life to your advantage. That rests in the way you perceive things. 

Listen and communicate with the ones living with you, instead of thinking all the time and getting lost in your thoughts. Slow down and spend sometime those that live with you. Compassion is a better vehicle for change than judgment. Make peace with yourself. Find beauty in little things around you.  Beauty is often found through looking into a newborn’s eyes, in the blooming of a flower, or just playing with your kids.. It’s often where you least expect it.

Sometimes we get bogged down in schedules and obligations, and we lose our sense of wonder about the simple joys of life. You can find that the best way to reconnect with how beautiful life can be, by living your life for the joy of others at home, or by giving a helping hand to someone who is really groping through a trauma of life's battle. To see a smile on the face of a child, who is at the crossroads, with a bewildered mind. 

It is easy to get motivated by just looking around you. Be the person you want to remembered years from now. Each of us has a fire in our heart burning for something.  It’s our responsibility in life to find it and keep it lit, not by putting off a fire in another person's heart or life, but by looking for it in your own life. At the end of the day, it is your own reflection you have to see, let it be one that takes pride in having fought life's battle bravely and not one which is dependent on the someone's sympathy. Let it be the reflection of a person who can make a difference in the life of another in a positive way and not one who puts out the life of another. 

"Laugh as much as you breathe. Love without being a thorn in another's life.  Say what you need to say.   Appreciate all the little blessings that come your way.   Smile.  Celebrate your small victories.  Learn from your mistakes.  Realize that everything is a lesson in disguise. "
