I am stupid. I like making my life miserable.

Here are 5 joys I already have, but I often forget, because I like feeling miserable:

1️⃣ Getting 10 minutes to read my favorite book while I am travelling to work

2️⃣ Drinking that warm cup of coffee in between meetings.

3️⃣ Smile on my wife‘s face when I am back from work because she wants to tell me everything abt her day

4️⃣ Ignoring sound of my daughter laughing loud

5️⃣ Ignoring the happiness in my parents’ eyes when I spend time with them.

You know what is the sad part?

I keep chasing joy the next salary hike, or the next luxury vacation, only to make my everyday life miserable, in the process and ignoring what I already have.

But this time it will be different I will remember my words for a week until I forget again:

“Joy isn’t waiting for tomorrow, it’s right here, today. Joy is in simple things ”

I hope you’re not like me. But if you are, maybe we can both remember together.
