Way of Life

As my daily regime I was just exploring a few sites, and came across this thought provoking quote by Willa Cather.

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do.

That made me feel it’s really true. We, consider themselves as the greatest creation of god, with not only the five senses, but the ability to think & learn… but, how often do we use this skill in a constructive way?

Let me give you a simple example from our daily life, today is Monday and the first thought on Monday is ‘Oh goshhh...! Its Monday again, and its office again…!!!’

But, why..? Why can’t we just take this way of life which gives us another opportunity to fulfill our dreams, will consider this as a day to learn something new, to meet some new people or to mend the differences with people whom we might have offended on Friday. Just, another better day to be with your loved ones…

Let us, take a step towards taking a lesson or two from these trees. They don’t come back upon you, when you hurt that beautiful creation with cutting its arm, or putting a nail on its bark. But, it’s always there to give you shelter from those terrible to heats of summer, to give you a soothing feeling every time you look at its green branches. These trees endure all the pain given by any body and will keep on growing to its fullest, till the destiny makes them to fall… and when they do fall they again make there falling beneficial for some body.

At least I got my lesson of the day, and I am going to stop myself whenever I get a feeling like complaining about a way of my life…
