What to do when things do not go as you planned (blog marathon post 2)
Things do not always go as you planned. You wake up in the morning and you plan to do something. Some days it goes exactly the way you wanted. But many times, it does not. There are circumstances beyond our control that twist our plans. They hijack that precious thing called time. And before you know it, it is the end of yet another day.
Yesterday in Bangalore, because of unexpected pelting showers, people were stuck on the roads for more than four hours. In fifteen minutes, some areas received more than 11 cms of rain! Can you imagine the intensity of the downpour?
This morning when I was walking my dog, I saw the full impact of the rains. There was a lovely tree which was uprooted and had fallen across the pavement. There was slush all over, making it impossible to walk without slipping. The roads were transformed into an obstacle course. Mud, dirt and puddles everywhere.
Just two weeks back, we were getting scorched by the summer, and now we are getting swept away by the rain.
Nature. How beautiful she is. And how unpredictable.
Much like the plans that you make for your day.
I always love to be close to nature. But living in a high-rise apartment in one of India's largest metropolitan cities, the best I can do is fill my home with objects of beauty, created by nature.
This is what adorns my dining table at the moment.
And yes, the 'vase' is a recycled bottle.
We may not be able to control everything about our day.
But we sure can control what we focus on.
Focus on one beautiful thing in your home today. Something that makes you happy when you look at it. Something that gives you joy. Something that you fail to notice because you are so stressed.
Notice it. And tell me what filled you with joy today.

Till tomorrow, keep that calmness in your heart. And send out thoughts of gratitude into the universe for having something beautiful in your life.
