Hello everyone..

I am not very sure as to where I'm supposed to post this, coz the other day I stumbled upon this quote that sounded like a prayer and moreover it made me feel something I dont know how to explain in words.... So I just thought I'd share it here coz it is somewhat a prayer and it is small and what else you can read and decide... I'm also putting here some of my thoughts when I read that quote... Here goes-

"May you live everyday of your life"- Jonathan Swift

This appeared in my gmail, the other day and they named it a funny quote. Okay, now it does sound a bit funny or the kind of thing some insane person would say. But reading it again and again, this is more than funny. It is the reality.

To live each day of ones life is the hardest of all adventures. I mean, how many days in your life so far, have you spent not complaining, not whining or moaning about anything negative?? How many days have you enjoyed each and every moment of it, relishing the fact that you were glad to be you and no one else and that you have got a wonderful life?? How many days have you dot yourself engaged in doing something worthwhile, that brought about happiness not only to you but also to those around you?? I bet you'd say hardly one or two??

This just shows how we are. We just sit and wonder how Gwynneth Paltrow is given so much beauty and not us.. We are jealous that Jen. Aniston and Angelina Jolie, each got to be with Brad Pitt, but why not us??!! We think how Bill Gates got all the money and brains too!! (actually I'm not very sure about the brain thingy... :P)

Instead, if there was a day we truly enjoyed being ourself, and being happy and contented with everything and everyone surrounding our life, that is when we say we've actually lived a day. If this had been our attitude through out our entire life, then there would never have been hatred, killing, depression, suicide or any kind of negativities.

We need to appreciate who we are, and what we got, our lives, our friends and family and surely, there is nothing more beautiful and fulfilling than that!!

So dear all...

May you live everyday of your life

P.S: If u find any spelling or grammar mistakes pls feel free to tell me so that I can correct myself next time... coz my English is not pretty good.. I'm an Indian and all my life I've spent time with Indians and so Indian English is my style, though I'd tried to change it.. hope u people find this helpful..
Thanks for this!
