Miracle of Life

flowerBusy schedules, crazy life rhythm, lost in school or office routine – life of today. What is it? Where is it? How is it? Do things like friendship, love, care, trust, understanding, beliefs still matter? Is there still something which we could call a miracle of life?

Lets think about HOW we live, first.

We concentrate on problems instead of giving a chance to new opportunities.
We live in the past instead of paying tribute to the present.
We dream of the future while wasting our life today.

Of course it is not like we should give up on our dreams or ignore the memories of bygone joys and sorrows. But living in the past or in the future is losing the chance to make the best of our lives today.

We analyze too much, we expect things to happen, we keep waiting for them to happen and are left with disappointment when things don’t go the way we have chosen for them.
But at some time point we need to stop analyzing the past. Stop planning the future.
It is better to stop trying to figure out how we feel and where we should head to.
Maybe we should stop giving our minds the right of decision on what we want. Stop expecting our hearts to feel the way we want.
And maybe sometimes we just have to go with “Whatever..Happens..Happens”.

We are really lucky, we have got an exclusive right to live our life now and here. And it would be only fair to live it the best way. Making it a miracle. The one that you can’t grasp with your mind. The one you can’t perceive with your heart. The miracle that usually happens in silence while we are too busy doing lots of things which we pretentiously call “L.I.F.E”

Life is not only Past + Present + Future. It is more than just a sum of all your life phases. More than all the events of your life, more than all your feelings, your actions, your words. It is always more.

It is the smile you get from your kids when they receive their birthday gifts.
It is the appreciation of parents when you once again prove yourself as a good human.
It is the sunset you enjoyed yesterday with someone special.
It is the first rain of the season.
It is “I love you” whispered into your ear.
A hug from your best friend.
A call from your someone you lost touch with long ago.

It is there in the knowledge that tomorrow surely will be a better day and you will make up for all the failures of today.
It lies in the feeling that no matter how hard you try to cover up your past it will always be there, but you will deal with it the best way possible.
It might be acceptance of the fact that people change and things change but you will always be there treasuring the memories of something beautiful.
It is even expecting him to call but justifying him every time he does not.
And it is learning that she is the best girl you have ever met but you just have missed your chance by letting her go.

It is right now, right here here, with you…

When you go out with friends for a movie
When you call your parents to let them know you are fine
When you fight with your best friend
When you miss someone badly and it hurts
When you cry
When you smile
When you love

And more than that…

You doubt if you are in the right place?
You believe that your past is affecting your present too much?
You want to yell out to the world but are afraid someone might actually hear you?
You are trying to find bright colors in live but you can’t?
You are thinking that some people in your life don’t belong there?
You learned to hate? You wonder if true love exists?
You are lost? Confused? Tired? You feel like nothing is right at the moment?

It is life, too…

You are sad? Scared? Upset? Worried?
Smiling? Happy? In love? Wondering?
Isn’t it life? The one that is a true miracle. The one that we fail to see because we are too stressed out, analyzing, thinking, expecting. And while we are so much busy, it happens somewhere out there. It happens in silence, it stays unnoticed. We find it boring, we don’t see it as something extraordinary. And we are disappointed.

Maybe because life was just granted to us. But really… was it?

    Lena Lena what can I say. Amazing as always. I really love your art work. I have to confess I stare at it sometimes, and dream lol, yes I know what you said in your post we dream and waste today, but just for a bit. BTW all you said in the first paragraph, and later in the post is so so true. The problem I always had with my family is that they make a big stink out of nothing, and create problem. Life is just too too beautiful to be wasted. Lena you know you are love expert for sure. Anna :) PS beautiful site again, and nice name too.

  • Farah
