Leap Year — Twenty Nine Feb

This day is a Leap Day for me, since it opened a bag of ideas to make my life better. We humans are learning from every day of our life, hence today I decided to use my blog to share what I learn from each day.

So lets go to Today — Leap Year 2016 02/29/2016

The biggest lesson I learned today is to “take your life in your hands and decide what to do with it”. Yes, I knew this long before, but there is a difference between knowing and realizing. So let me put it this way — 2day I realized to decide whether I want my life to be good or bad. I started my day today in a very bad mood. Depression, disappointment and hopelessness loomed around me. I didn’t want my life to continue this way, I wanted the old me back — the happy go lucky me. And then I decided to make the most out of this pleasant sunny day.

I changed my one year old and got myself dressed up and there we were,out in the sun. We had a good walk and spent some time with friends. When I reached back home, I was happy and positive. I made dinner for my family.I cooked something different from our everyday meals, believe me even that simple change in my routine and menu made me feel a lot better. “Bring change to your life”. Without change you would end up living a life of boredom. Good changes make you enjoy what you do.

“When you do something, do as if you are an expert in it”. The end result might be good or bad, but if you do it like a master, that will boost up your confidence and thus your happiness. Today I tried making traditional sourdough bread (note: I have never baked anything in my life). I kneaded the dough like an expert. If anyone would have seen me at that time, they would have thought I am some master chef at baking. I turned my oven to 450 degrees and kept my dough and minutes later I got a very burnt dough which didn’t rise even an inch. Instead of feeling bad, I thought about the way I was trying to copy the chef on TV and instantly I found myself so funny and started laughing my guts out :D.

This day made me realize that I have so much power on myself.

I didn’t get irritated or sad at my crying baby, instead I handled him pretty well and kept myself calm and found myself very understanding. I didn’t get tired by the thought of making dinner, instead I made it with ease and pleasure. I didn’t get weak or tired, instead I felt ten years younger. I finished my work earlier and took some peaceful time for myself. I started a new book, a new post, a new hobby and a great new perspective on life. Thankful to God/Universe for bringing this day into my life and for making it a wonderful one.
