Little thoughts

Happy right now

It is so important that you are happy. But I think it is more important that you are happy right now, in this moment. It is important that you like what you are doing, you love the people around you, you love the place but most importantly, you love being around yourself.

If you can love yourself, you basically will love everything around you, the weather, the people, the music, the silence, the world. It is a chemical reaction in your brain. So, why just feel that love for someone else? you will get the same response when you feel the love for yourself.

Is it not amazing that you are a human, a sentient being, capable of understanding and feeling so many things. Is it not amazing that you are able to communicate with other such sentient creatures, share thoughts, feel what others are feeling, see the different things around you, hear beautiful sounds?

These little things may seem pointless to the people who are not in love right now, the people who are not happy right now. I am feeling these things only because I am happy in the moment; tomorrow, if I read this in a bad mood, I might throw a rock at myself for blabbering nonsense. That is actually pretty unlikely to happen because of this habit of staying happy in the moment.

I cultivated this habit of living and staying happy in the moment months ago. And now, even when I am feeling a little low (that’s normal because I am human), I can still appreciate these things that I just mentioned. Which means, in the longer run, your “happy for the day” habit will actually make you less sad!

Its basically brain programming. You don’t think about the future and just work for the day. Shorter tasks are always easy to follow. So, instead of thinking about being happy in the past or the future or whenever, just think of being happy right now. If you are not living in the present, you are not even living properly.

Don’t let the planning of the future bother you to the extent, you forget that the present exists. Because your steps, RIGHT NOW, will determine what the future will be like.
