A cool breeze morning and cloudy day. As the day begins I ride my bike to ISKCON temple. The serenity of starting day and promise to smile filled me with joy. The time to go to work, on bike like free cruise over the vast greenery of my beautiful university shows me different faces of life. The decent made the bike ride so easy and enchanting, but in the sense of that joy I forgot the upcoming incline which would slow me down and will force me to put extra effort. The upward incline and I slowed down, pedaling harder to get up the incline and cursing the land topography. Why it has to be up incline to force me work so hard ? And at this moment I completely forgot the joy I had few seconds ago. How selfish I was ? Why I didn't thank for the joy and why I cursed for the hard work ? These thoughts did not even come while I was riding my bike till I saw a guy on a wheelchair. A young lad of about 24-25, with a cigerate on his lips, contentment on his face of sitting on that chair which helped him to move around and not sitting on a place to regret of disability to move around. As the incline came his hands started moving faster with all the might they could.. on the wheels... And the contentment of riding up the incline made me realize that I had the best bike and best feet in this world. !!!
Realize what we have !! Realize that every joy is followed by sorrow and vice-versa. Do not stop to curse .. Live the moment with the best you have.. Give the best you can... And Today I thank that unknown stranger who drove his wheel chair and Inspired me and gave me a will to live my sorrows. Remember to live your life.. You never know how many lives you touch !!
Live, Love, Laugh.. and Inspire !!!
