What screws us most in the life is the picture in our head of how it is supposed to be. -Anonymous

This is something to think about. We, in our life, start expecting a lot of things. This is human nature after all, you cannot help it. May be this is the reason why we all are not complacent and we always want more. This human trait is good for development and evolution but sometimes these are the things which makes us miserable and unhappy. You always imagine how things will be in the future and create an image of yourself sitting in some nice place with shades on with your better half. When it doesn’t turns out how you supposed to be, then you feel sad. May be we cannot help this nature of ours. This is something to think about.

What if we just think of the near future? What if we stop imagining things which might or might not happen? May be, we will be happier as we didn’t expect things to happen or maybe you didn’t hold onto something that should be happening in the near future. I’m not saying planning is bad. Planning is totally different, it’s good if you can follow it. Here I’m talking about making stuffs up in your mind which might or might not happen. Stuffs which are beyond our reach and not in our control.

Well this is something to food for thought!
