What's Changing?

Yes, I am changing. 

After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.

I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more are 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 to his face. After all, he is toiling much harder for a living than me.

I stopped telling others that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down memory lane & relive the past.

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.

I've learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.

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 have learnt that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone.

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 myself.

I decided to send this along because we can all learn to treat others with more compassion and stop being judgmental. 

Don't wait till you reach this age. 

Start early and today is the best day for that. 

Watch Me, Am SWISS !
