Putting the jigsaw pieces back together


Being 'content'. The word has different connotations for different people. We are so occupied with our lives,so overpowered by ambition that we forget how to live. We lose opportunities and try to gain them back. We enter a constant cycle of struggle.Life is a series of journeys,they say. We are always trying to get somewhere ,without knowing what we really desire. But how many of us are actually happy during the transition period?How many of us have 'been there' and 'done that' when we really wanted to?

And then one fine day...

The scattered jigsaw puzzle falls back in place. The shattered pieces of glass are glued back together. The black clouds finally fade , giving way to a ray of light. You have just found a prudent solution to the major identity crisis you've been dealing with for several years. Monday morning blues cease to exist because you completely adore your work. Your 'monotonous' routine is now replaced by 'adventurous'. You are no more conscious of what people think about you.You have found a purpose and direction and the world seems like a far better place. You sleep well at night and have dreams that brighten up your day. The little things in life bring you immense joy. For instance,finding an unexpected piece of cake in your fridge.
Serendipity. Bliss. These are words that govern your life now.

If this is the case, you, dear reader,  are in the process of pursuing happiness. And if not,you need to find a way of getting there real soon.
Dare to dream and face reality,because no one can build your story but you, yourself. So you might as well build a good one.
