Simple Things in Life

There are many simple things in life which are often overlooked. For a simple reason we just do not have time to even to think about it. How many times have we paused and give a thought of what we have just said? How many times have we stopped and realize we are going too fast in life and we forgot to think how grateful are we? We are just too busy going through our routine life every day. We are executing our life activities one by one as our mind has been programmed. We often forget to halt our life for a moment to appreciate simple things in our life. For getting up in morning, feeling the morning sun or even breathing the air. Everything single thing that we take for granted might not be the same for other people out there. To be happy is to be appreciative and grateful. To feel contented is to feel our life is blessed not with materialistic items but with priceless feeling of never ending happiness.

The Day We Build Our Expectations

The day we started to build our expectations, is the day where we live in uncertainties. As the world is full of uncertainties, possibilities and risks, we will not be sure if we will get what we expect. We raise up each day with plans. Plans which we always think will have to be right and smooth flowing as it should. But when things does not go right, that is when we feel upset. Set the expectations right they say. But did they tell us that not all things should be right?  Did they tell us that it is okay to see our expectations are not met?Life is not made to be perfect. Same as expectations are not made to be successfully achieved all the time. We have to train ourselves not to get carried away when this happens. We have to learn to accept things as it is. We have to learn to embrace any kind of result we get in life. Life without expectations is life without goal and purpose. Nevertheless, adapting to one's life without questioning ourselves "why it should be this way?"
