As usual, I woke up feeling lazy, in the state of half sleep. However, as soon as I opened my eyes, a powerful thought struck me. I asked myself, why should I wake up? Why should I not continue sleeping in the quilt?
I closed my eyes and went on a thought ride with the hope of finding some convincing answer to this question. To my good fortune, an answer came in the form of inner voice. The answer was "balance". Something within me told that go out, see the sun, water the plants, feed animals, experience the early morning breeze, do exercise and do many other activities which you like to do rather than investing all your time on just one activity of sleep.
This voice reminded me of my vision of ideal life. It brought to my memory the fundamental question of what kind of person I am? With the self-observation and experience of so many years, I know that a productive, disciplined, consistent life style is what I crave for. Then how could the lust of sleep hold me back in the quilt. I sprung out of my bad, immediately standing on my feet and did all my lovely morning activities. Those little moments of activities were very joyful cherishable moment of the day.
To add to my good luck, I discovered few videos which I was searching for long time. I listened to those videos in the morning. It made my day. I will write about those videos some other time.
Another trick which we all know but we rarely put in practice is listing the minute by minute schedule of our day before going to bed on the previous day. This exercise gives us purpose and goal to leave the bed and energize our action.
For past few days, I am following a consistent schedule filled with numerous small activities. This to me is the beginning of living a blissful joyful life. The moment your face bears a pleasant smile from an activity as small as seeing the sunrise or watering the plants is when you get away from the clutches of competition driven world and connect with your soul. That is the essence of happiness.
