A coffee is one of the most important things that makes my day . A hot coffee mug is like a golden bowl of ambrosia to me. I sip my mug of sweet coffee with much pride and happiness. Each drop of coffee I take in, makes me more ebullient and energetic. Coffee break is a time to forget everything , a time to roll out in joy, a time to get nostalgic. It makes me feel that my day is fulfilled and fun filled. The very glance at it, brings back my energy. It's rejuvenating smell makes me ecstatic and fresh. It relieves me of all the stresses of the day. My day without coffee is a day with no life in it, a day totally void and dull. Thanks to the genius who invented coffee.
But there came a day in my life , when I decided to give a pause to it. The very decision blues me off. Its an acrid decision taken in a matter of seconds, but yet a decision taken with much hope, much thought process and determination behind it. Never in my life I had restricted myself from something which I love. Each time I feel the urge of having it, I understand how hard it is to restrain oneself from his senses, and I silently regret for dragging myself into such a situation.
This decision makes me as dull as a bleak winter day , with the roads serene and empty with no people around , and the trees with their leaves completely shredded off. Finally, I realized that it’s high time to set a break to my luxuries, fun and coffee. A coffee can make a difference to me, only if I can earn it on my own. Fate made me realize it and now it's time for me to struggle hard, not only for a coffee, for my future as well.
Am I going to build up a correct attitude out of the hard times? Is God trying to teach me some useful lessons? If so , am I learning something from it? Is everything that is happening to me, ultimately leads to something better? Is there a coffee waiting for me to cosume it very soon? Am I strong enough to overcome the troubles all alone? Is this new year going to be the same unpleasant way all along? The answer is …… I am optimistic . So I am happy that I got a chance to learn something new.
So true it is , that happiness and sadness always follow each other. Life is a hide and seek. We could do nothing to know what the next moment hides from us , but wait in excitement to discover it on our own. When we encounter something happy , we accept it with gay. When we face sorrow , then we realize what happiness is . We are to do a bit more than just waiting for the joy that succeeds sorrow and as a part of it , start finding a way to end up happy. Enjoy the moment thoroughly no matter what it is, because life is mixture of many feelings. And we win this game , only if we are ready to welcome any moment with much pleasure, discover it and know it thoroughly.
They can because they think they can.
