So in this post I talked about the prosperity workshop that I attended.
Now I want to share my visions of prosperity. They are a mix of lots of small things and big things. But above all, they are about the feeling of joy, "connectedness" and content that they create. The feeling "being home", and not having the need to go anywhere else to rest.
And this happens, this moment, not in the future.
You never arrive at a destination in the future. It all happens now.
The big things are obvious - friends, family, great work, great house, car, and so on. But how about the small and everyday things? Of course we are grateful for the people in our lives every single day, but we lose sight of this gratefulness in the everyday grind of living and may forget to express active gratitude for all the goodness around us. So how to stay in gratitude and access the state without having to take a step back and look at the big picture.
On a daily basis, I like to take joy in the small things as well, and trust that the bigger things will take care of themselves. This deepens my appreciation for everything - big or small.
I like to think that the small joys are governed by some UnderGods who have these small Angels who are responsible for the little miracles and everyday smiles. They work wirelessly and are very under-appreciated, but they don't care and they keep looking at our lives, looking to find small, tiny gaps through which they can slip us some unexpected joy, bits of laughter, moments of pure ecstasy.
When all these bits and pieces of bliss are taken together or all added up, make our lives seem like one big bag of Happy and Lucky, and life does not seem to be as sad and dreary as we think it is. So it seems like a good thought, doesn't it?
So here's my list of small, everyday joys for each I am eternally grateful:
1. Early mornings
2. My cats
3. Sunsets from my balcony
4. My terrace garden
5. My phone
6. Moon!
7. Oats for breakfast or evening meal
8. This mandala by Anshu
9. This picture courtesy Manisha and Suraj
10. My red shoes
11. Garfield
12. Conversations
13. Books
14. Coffee
15. Wind in my hair!
And trust me, I am just getting started here.
What does your list look like?
