Stop Searching and Start Seeing

All of us face various ups and downs in our lives. Few best of ups and few probably worst of downs. Our lives are divided into various phases(childhood, schooldays, college days, corporate 'professional' life, post graduate college days (for people like us doing their post graduation), again corporate life, married life, etc etc etc). The list is endless. Each phase has its own set of happiness and sorrow. If we look back, we would realize that somehow in all those phases, we have some very good memories as well as some really bad ones.

I read a quote once, which was smth like this, " Humans tend to get depressed because they see their past much more glorious than it actually was and future much more scary and negative than it actually will be". I guess thats where most of us make mistakes.

If only we could see the positive in every phase of our life, probably we would be much happier than we are. If we think back and look closely at the past we would probably realize what we haven't been able to understand about life till date. Look ahead closely and you will realize, there is a whole new experience waiting for us all...it will have its own glorious moments...so what if it will bring with itself some sadness too...This process is not something new to us anyways.
