 I asked one of my friends who has crossed 60 & is heading to 70. 

What sort of change he is feeling in him?

He sent me the following 

very interesting lines, 

which i would like to share 

with you all.....

1) After loving my parents, 

    my siblings, my spouse, 

    my children, my friends, 

    now I have started loving   

    myself.

2) I just realised that I am not 

     “Atlas”. 

     The world does not rest on 

      my shoulders.

3) I now stopped bargaining 

     with vegetables & fruits 

     vendors. 

     After all, a few Rupees more 

     is not going to burn a hole in 

     my pocket but it might help 

     the poor fellow save for his 

     daughter’s school fees.

4) I pay the taxi driver without 

     waiting for the change. 

     The extra money might 

      bring a smile on his face. 

      After all he is toiling much 

      harder for a living than me

5) I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.

6) I have learnt not to correct people even when know they are wrong.After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me.Peace is more precious than perfection.

7) I give compliments freely & 

     generously. 

     After all it's a mood 

     enhancer not only for the 

     recipient, but also for me

8) I have learnt not to bother 

    about a crease or a spot on 

    my shirt. 

    After all, personality speaks 

    louder than appearances.

9) I walk away from people 

     who don't value me. 

     After all, they might not 

     know my worth, 

     but I do.

10) I remain cool when 

       someone plays dirty 

       politics to outrun me in the 

       rat race. 

      After all, I am not a rat & 

      neither am I in any race.

11) I am learning not to be 

      embarrassed by my 

      emotions. 

      After all, it's my emotions 

      that make me human.

12) I have learnt that its better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone

13) I have learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.

14) I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.

  

I decided to send this to many, because why do we have to wait for so long, 

why can't we practice this at any stage and age.......

Best wishes for all my 

grown-up friends & relatives
