In today’s post, I would like to highlight that while we
aspire to reach higher echelon in life on a personal front or have the altruistic
dreams for the social sector, we need to take breaks and experience joy in the
little things in life. This is very essential
for a longer run and inability to enjoy sweet little moments sucks out the energy
within us leaving a tired soul that can only do this much.
Keeping this philosophy in mind, on a lighter vein, I would
also want you take a break from painstaking (!!!J) browsing to enjoy few extra seconds
saved on my pages.
Do ponder on the below few lines before you move on.
Dare to dream big
Dare to dream big
Follow
your mind,
Take
a break today,
Unshackle
(from) the grind.
Do not shy away
To
hold onto your ideals,
Do
not be afraid and stop not
In
the face of foibles.
Smile at the
small joys,
The
life offers every day,
Shimmering
dew drops on the swaying grass
The
silver of the silver moon’s ray.
Accept
gladly what life has given,
And
be good & kind to others,
A
better world will surely be,
God
willing, not afar.
J for joy - The first post I am reading and glad to read this joyous post!
