*This is something so beautiful that I don't mind reading it again and again * _________________________ *APPROACHING 60 & 65s* A friend of mine crossed 60 and is heading to 65. I asked him what's changing? He sent me following lines: Yes, I am changing. *After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.* Yes, I am changing. *I just realised that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.* Yes, I am changing. *I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.* Yes, I am changing. *I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all he is toiling much harder for a living than me* Yes, I am changing. *I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.* Yes, I am changing. *I've learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.* Yes, I am changing. *I give compliments freely & generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me*. Yes, I am changing. *I've learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances*. Yes, I am changing. *I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do*. Yes, I am changing. *I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat & neither am I in any race*. Yes, I am changing. *I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.* Yes, I am changing. *I've learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last* . Yes, I am changing. *I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.* 🌿☘🍀🥒 I decided to send this along because why do we have to wait for sixties, why can't we practice this at any stage.........
