Why So Serious?:Experience Life’s Best Moments

17 February 2008 6 Comments

best moments in life

There are so many good things in life, yet we all feel miserable. If you indulge yourself 1005 in whatever you do, you will find happiness in every activity. When we do a thing for the first time, we are excited afterwards it becomes a lifeless routine. Do you remember the first time when you rode in a bicycle without your dad’s support? Or the first non-stop lap you completed at the pool when your mom was watching you? There you go, you can find such instances that made you feel that you are on top of the world.

When we indulge in an action, we seem to enjoy thoroughly. So, don’t live two lives, don’t dream something else when you are working on a thing. When you play, play. When you work, work. That’s how happy people live. That’s why they are happy.

Here are few best moments and experiences in life you just can’t afford to miss. Obviously, the list is not complete. You can make a list of things that make you happy. The longer the list, the happier you will be.

Ask the following question to yourself. Especially whenever your life seems to get mundane and boring. ‘When was the last time you did something for the first time?’. Break the shackles, do something weird. Make your life.
