Happily Ever After….

I was day dreaming about a happily ever after I can have and then it just hits me, does everyone think about it? When I asked most of my friends,“what’s the first thing that comes to your mind if I asked about your happily ever after.” Most of the answers were about marriage and spending the rest of their lives with the ones they love but this was not what I was day dreaming about. Your HAPPILY EVER AFTER isn’t entirely about spending time with the one you love nor is it about marriage. It’s something which comes from deep within yourself. Think about it. When the fairy godmother asked Cinderella to go to the ball, she could have just said no but she didnt. She was ready for the adventure even though she knew what would happen if her stepmother found out. There are those of us who doesn’t believe in a happily ever after because in reality life seems to be too complicated for it. But I believe!
We often think that happily ever after is concised to a person. It isn’t! It’s about living your passion and cutting off things in your to do list. It’s about seeing a persons pain in their eyes and feeling their pain and doing something about it. It’s about making those stupid mistakes and laughing at it. It’s about making many someones smile and mostly it’s about listening to your inner voice. We all tend to get carried away by the noise around us but always remember, your inner self knows what you want best than anyone else. Even to live your passion, you should know what your passion is but some of us actually dont. Let me tell you why. When we are asked who we want to be, some would say doctors and engineers merely because your friend does it or it’s the most commonly recongnised profession there is. There is no happily ever after if you dont enjoy the work that you do. Happily ever after is simply waking up every morning and thinking, “ Wow! I made it. I have a good home, a loving wife and an amazing job. I love my life.” Nobody thinks you are important because they think they are important. Thats just the way it is. Happily ever after is simply being content with the life you are living right now and being able to do those things your inner voice whispers to you.
