Droplets Of Happiness

Few days back I had a very amazing experience. Wanted to share it with you all.

There was a man, aged 28 probably, he was giving all his relatives ice creams to eat. All of his relatives were 80 + in their age and the way they were looking at the ice creams, I was able to guess that it was the first ice cream of their lives. For a while they were saying no to him but somewhere down there, the small child in them was jumping to have it!

 The man insisted and they agreed.

I was watching them very carefully... They were enjoying every bite of it. Whenever the ice would touch their sensitive teeth, they would look at each other and laugh. When the ice cream of one of them would start melting from one end, others notified him and they all again burst into laughter. Every moment till their ice creams was over, they were purely convulsed with laughter. It was a very sweet scene. I just couldn't take my eyes off their happiness and smiles which clearly showcased how much the little child in all of them was happy as if the old man took a seat and the small child in them was showcasing his energy and vitality.

What I learned from them was that life is small, life is short. We need to play it big but we also need to savor the small happiness it brings with it. These are what I refer to as droplets of happiness.

Drop by drop a sea is made. Bricks of small happinesses in life construct a life well lived.

Another incident that revised these thoughts in me happened a few weeks back.

I met a friend of mine. She's an awesome writer. She writes better than me. And I respect her and her way of writing a lot! (If I get permission from her then I'll share her poem with you all... She's damn good! no, not good it's GENIUS level thing! ) okay so as I was sharing, I entered her room and damn... I was surprised, a bit shocked and a lot curious to know the reason.

She has pasted all of her pictures on her wardrobe. Starting from her cute little baby pictures to her till date pictures. It's like a collage. In some she is making weird funny faces, in some, she is posing as a supermodel and in some, she's looking damn gorgeous (which she is, undoubtedly). And not just her pictures, she herself is a very strong lady and someone who doesn't let life's downs get her low. So basically what I learned by looking at those pictures and her nature is that... Life will throw it's worst cards at you sometimes... But it's your wish if you want to lose or you want to play it in spades. Her outgoing nature is just mesmerizing and yes it's also a real reflection of her inner strength and confidence. Her pictures perfectly define the class of that lady. And guys you know from where all these qualities and that alluring confidence came?

It's that collage. I haven't asked her about this. But this is just my view of it.

What I encourage you all to do is...To have your own collage. When your life gets you through its deep difficult valley, your collage will show you the way. When you're in deep tension your collage will tell you one thing. "Dude, why so serious?"(No, not in that tone of joker which you might be having in mind LOL..just kidding) In difficult times I believe these pictures will give you strength. They will speak ... No... They will SHOUT at you in times of distress that "Cmon girl, you've been through many difficult phases, this is nothing in front of all that". And then you bring a whole new self out to the world. Wow! Wouldn't that feel wow?

Let me sum up what I just said by giving you three examples of what your every picture will speak and remind you…

1)    The Weird faces you make will speak that be crazy. Life’s not meant to be all that serious

2)    The Childhood pictures will speak at you that live life maturely, be responsible but most importantly be a child at heart.

3)    The pictures in which you are looking elegant (for ladies)/dapper(for gentlemen), they will speak to you that look at yourself. You are worth more than you think. And you deserve nothing less than first class.

So please get your collage on. It's self-motivating and works as a self-affirmation tool too that you're worth more than you could ever think.

Your collage will always give you a smile on your face. And there's a very powerful effect of a smile. It's a very bitter truth that am telling you... But the world doesn't give a damn about the fact if you are sad. Your sadness will repel others. And your smile will attract others. And my friend's smile is very attractive and a good example of exuding passion and vitality which she so easily demonstrates through her strong character. 

If your tears cannot find a place in your eyes... Will they ever find any place in someone's heart? No. They won't. Only a few will be by your side and your biggest ally will always be at your side, and that is YOU!!!

So, have a collage guys! So that your best friend "YOU" is always there, looking at you, smiling at you and reminding you to take life easily, and to make you realize that you're just Awesome!!! 

These pictures will be your small little droplets of happiness that will make your life worth living ! 

So I would now end up this blog post with her latest (and her favorite WhatsApp status) it's this...

LOVE. LAUGH. LIVE.

Till next time. 

Stay motivated. Stay excited. Stay happy.
