Finding Right Now.
Submitted by: Shubhangi
IndiaI am an English Major currently living happily in my home with my family. I am so grateful that I got this opportunity to stay with my family for so long after three years.The world is magic and my family is the most magical thing about my life. Every moment I am with them is my 'everything'.
For many years I had this problem of jumping into the future. Like what would happen if I do this or don’t do this? Or I am going to be happy if I were to achieve some specific thing, or not?
So after High School, I thought I would go to college and find happiness. In college I thought I would go to home for a vacation and be happy. It just kept on going like this until this January when I started reading The Secret. And believe me it is one of the best thing that ever happened to me.
I started living in the ‘right now’. I started accepting myself the way I was. I focused on being happy today. And I started to focus on people around me more. I started to live. And it’s such a blessing. You won’t believe one of the best things that happened to me. I was so scared last year about what I would do after college. Which way should I go? I really wanted some time. And guess what just happened. I was home for vacation. And my exams were going to be starting on the 16th of March. Even then I listened to my heart and decided to book my ticket for 15th. I said to my family that I would go directly to college to give my exams. On the 14th I got to know that my college was closed. Imagine my luck that I got to stay with my family during this time. I am feeling so lucky and so thankful each and every day.
I think I know what I want with my life and even if I don’t, I know my family is there. Right there like always and for that I am so so grateful. I feel every moment. I feel like magic, like anything is possible.
And I have realised one thing. Life is magic. We all are magic. And we can make magic. We are making magic. Life is beautiful. And it is very simple to know this because it’s happening right now.
