    A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.


    Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse
    to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.


    Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and
    He was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, 'Why
    Did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am
    Dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself.'


    The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We
    push very hard every day to gain power and recognition. We
    neglect our health time with our family and to appreciate the
    surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.


    One day when we look back we will realize that we don't
    Really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for
    what we have missed.


    Life is not about making money, acquiring power or
    recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only
    necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.
    Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
    You have to decide how you want to balance your Life.

    Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your
    decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.


    So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate
    nature. Life is fragile , Life is short.. Do not take Life
    for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!



    Watch your thoughts they become words.


    Watch your words they become actions.


    Watch your actions they become habits.


    Watch your habits; they become character


    Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

    Hi Chilbuli Imli,

    Your story is very nice with a needful message. Keep on writing. Good luck.


    Hi ramyajithendra,

    Your lines:

    "Happy moments, praise God.
    Difficult moments, seek God.

    Quiet moments, worship God.
    Painful moments, trust God.
    Every moment, thank God."

    I like the above lines very much.

    Regards,
    Shyamala.
