The thought crossed my mind as I was thinking of some happiness I couldn't get in my life. There are many actually, ... but never felt so sad of them, ... may be, never got a chance to wait and think of them, ... or may be, never bothered to think of them.
Have you ever come across such feeling, when you want something in your life and realized that its no way coming to you? One may say that nothing is impossible to achieve. Yes! Definitely, I agree, that's true. With hard work and dedication everything can be achieved, but still I guess there are somethings we really can't do anything about.
Ever noticed ... the joy in the eyes of a school kid after getting an 'excellent' remark for his assignment. Try buying it for your own kid, can you? ... The Pride in the eyes of one's parents when one excels in academics/sports. Have you noticed how proudly they announce it to their neighbors/relatives. Try buying it for your parents, can you? ... The happiness in the eyes of a bride whose big fat wedding is attended by all dear and near ones (especially her parents). Try buying it for your girlfriend whose parents are against your relationship, can you?
There are lot of such questions that may arise in your mind for which the answer would be a helpless "No". But, ... you know what, ... the answer to such questions can be given in three simple words too - "Let It Be". Really, let it be! If you are helpless under certain circumstances, let it be. Work on others, under which you can do wonders. And I am sure there will be a plenty of them.
I believe its Steven Covey, who said there are two situations in your life. One you can control, another you can't. A person should spend time, thinking of the situations he can control, but unfortunately most people spend their time thinking of what they can't.
Well, I am not an exception. I too tend to think and act in the same way. But don't be too late to realize that there are many other happiness waiting for you to knock the doors. For the happiness that's not coming your way, that you can't buy - Let it be! ... And hey! ... not to forget, for everything else, there's MasterCard! Go get it. :D
