Ever wondered why everyone's always pushing us to be extraordinary? It sounds cool, but sometimes it's just plain overwhelming. Instead of aiming for the stars, let's take a moment to appreciate the wonders of everyday life. Learning to appreciate the little things in life can really change how we see each day. It's all about finding happiness in the small stuff we often miss.
Have you ever taken a moment to think about which little things in your daily life bring you the most joy and why?

It must be incredibly rewarding to see your water apple tree thriving and bearing fruit! Having that direct connection with nature and enjoying its fruits right from your own tree sounds like a wonderful joy. It's those simple pleasures that can truly brighten our days.

It is those small things that make my day. What made my day early this morning is when Billu the mother cat came home. She spent the whole night out the first after she has had her babies.

I always appreciate every little thing that happens in my life . During the pandemic I realized everything can change in a moment . Life is really short and borrowed. I changed the way I see things now and Im always showing greatfulness and appreciation no matter what . That way you are also teaching yourself to be contented , appreciative and thankful. The best feeling ever .

I know this may sound a little over acting but to be honest I am always grateful to God that He always wakes up in the morning to enjoy another day and another life that He gave me. There are instances that some people die in their sleep and I am always grateful that He wakes up to be better than the previous days or to continue what or where I left off ...

That sounds lovely! There's something so soothing about feeling a gentle breeze, isn't there? It's like nature's way of giving you a calming hug. Do you have a favorite spot to enjoy it?

It's easy to get demotivated when we aim for stars. Enjoying the ordinary moments also helps us appreciate things that are part of life. A lot of money, riches , power cannot buy happiness. It cannot buy the happiness when a child gets a chocolate or a toy. Well, after lot of falls from aiming for stars and sky, I have appreciated these moments though life pressures deprieve some of the happiness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
