It’s been days I told Tejasvita, that I will write this. I have seen her under stress for things I considered unimportant, mostly thing which come to both of us as duties… I guess it’s her quality to do everything she does efficiently, and when things jumble up; she’s in stress. Also, in spite of her many efforts to let go, stress come to her with bullshits from unimportant people.
‘Why it affects me?’ has a simple answer that she’s important.
Things of Importance…
First, jot down five most important things in your life; may be people or your ambitions… things from abstracts to materials, the five most important. Continue the read once done.
Below is a little story…
I guess I was in 7th. We went to our village. Every evening, I with my father and uncle used to go on a stroll to our fields. It used be a good time out there, my father used to tell me the stories of his days; how during his summer vacations, he used to help my grandmother with the fields, while my grandfather used to be in different cities for work. Well, my father is the one calmest person I know, one with big heart, one who keeps little and distributes more. It all looks decorative as I write but he is the way he is.
While returning from the fields, we went to… ahmm that place we tie our cattle and keep equipment used in fields, we call it ‘gher’. There, my grandfather was having an argument with someone. It was a feud on some silly topic. The person in front was a much younger guy, very rude and abusive to the old man. My father and uncle entered the argument. The dumb guy, after a little while said some literally bad words to my grandfather and my dad slapped him real hard… He was so much in anger; and the person was still speaking shit; I thought my father will kill him. I stood behind my grandfather, afraid. Anyhow, my rest three uncles came, and he was thrown out of our land. We made a family enemy then.
That night while sleeping beside him, I told my father “I have never seen you fight.” He asked, “You think I shouldn’t have?”
“Naah… just haven’t seen that. You didn’t even fight with him when that biker rammed our just 12 day old car.”
“Probably because I considered that cause unimportant for a fight.”
It sounded silly…
It may probably be considered of no use to some people, but has a secret of being a little more happy and content in life. Anything happening around you, must affect you only when it affects those things of importance in your life, else it’s doesn’t matter.
Now, just start thinking of the five things u noted and see for a change.
Later…
