Stop Expecting... Start Accepting!

Are you among the ones who think compromises are a form of accepting things the way they are? Differently put, do you think accepting things puts a full stop to the existing situation? To me, that's utter frustration to an extent that I would feel like ruining its very existence. Well... I always knew that it was a remarkable example of being impatient and cranky, too. But to come to one's own rescue is the most challenging task ever!

It was a fine bright morning. I woke up fresh and lively, dressed up in my favorite dress and was feeling happy about everything around me. And that invited trouble! :) The bright morning grew sunnier and the cool breeze turned into a dust storm. No wonder but the favorite dress of mine was changing colors and so was my temper. Since I was on my way to see a bunch of friends, I wanted to be as cheerful and happy as I could but who was out to help? God was certainly in no mood and I was too much into it!

I kept cajoling myself so that I could see a different perspective. "What if you are already dirty and messed up? Lets get messier!" I told myself. And then sparked a brilliant idea! I quickly asked all my friends if we could shift the venue from the urban coffee shop to an adventure island in the city. And who could refuse? Not my gang of course!

The entire day was so much fun that God had a narrow escape. I didn't question the rationality of his ideas even once.

After a splendid day when I hit the pillow at night, I was smiling as much as in the morning, if not more.

I began thinking about the day and fell asleep. The following morning when I woke up, I said to myself- Stop Expecting. Start Accepting. And that's exactly what I did.. I didn't snooze the alarm expecting little more of sleep. I accepted the fact that it was time to wake up.

The world calls on all of us. Accept this and you shall feel like a superstar.. I do!! :)
