Tomorrow never comes

Past is old, future is full of suspense untold
So live your life today, in present, this is what is often told.
Past haunts and future excites but present makes you happy.
That’s why I say live life to the fullest, because tomorrow never comes.

Some where in the month of august, one fine rainy evening, I was on my way from office to my residence walking a very short distance from the bus stop to the building with an umbrella in my hand in an irritated mood. The climate was pleasant but I was cursing the rain, because my new dress was getting wet and spoiled. At that time I saw a small boy in rugged clothes, playing with his ball in the rain and enjoying it fully unlike me. The incident won’t be of much importance to any body on this earth, but that small incident had a huge impact on my life, my attitude towards life changed. I thought its cold and this guy would not even have spare clothes, as the one he was wearing was fully wet, but still with out any worry he continued playing. I thought, even I could have enjoyed the rain, but I opted to be irritated and gloomy. I understood the crux of life; life is all how we take it, see it and have it. Life is the best teacher, first it takes the test and then teaches us irrespective of the fact we pass or fail. People keep cribbing about what they have and also about what they don’t have. I don’t say that I never crib. I badly want to change this habit of mine. What do we get ultimately by complaining on each and everything, nothing but just a negative attitude towards life, dissatisfaction and depression. We get used to this, and our eyes refuse to see even a speck of positive ray. We would have got the best of parents still we would complain that my father does not increase my pocket money or my mother never makes my favorite dish. We would be earning, still complaining that we don’t have money. On petty things we cry “I don’t have a big house”, “I don’t have enough clothes”. But we forget to see the truth that there are many children in this world who don’t have their parents, there are kids who at age of getting pocket money from their parents do pick pocket, there are people who don’t even know what is their favorite food, because they dont get one to eat. There are unemployed youth searching for jobs with great knowledge and no money. There are those poor souls on road who don’t have enough cloths to even hide their skin. The list is on and on and on, it’s a never ending one. Its not that we don’t know such facts, but our heart refuses to look into such matters. Our mind is still pre occupied with old stale sad stuff, we never want fresh thoughts to enter it and become pleasant memories for ever. We never know what is in store for us; neither can we change our past. Then why to spoil our present by thinking and crying on futile things. Open your eyes and see the beautiful world created by god with positive thoughts. Today is a gift, that’s why its called present, it’s in our hands to unwrap it or not. Why to spread negative energy around you, rather spread positive thoughts and smiles across the place. Enjoy every moment of your life, find happiness in even smallest of things, be satisfied with what ever you have, love selflessly, help generously, live your life to the fullest.
