Finding Joy in the Ordinary

Little things don’t matter.

Article written by Nazia Tabasum A

The journey looks beautiful, only if there is an enthusiasm. We all love long trips, as it gives us more excitement. But have we ever taken time to enjoy our routine travel?

I remember the days when I travelled to office in cab. I will be watching the moments outside, while the rest of my cabmates will be mostly engaged with their mobiles.

From the time the journey starts and till it ends, I will keenly observe different kinds of emotions that people on the paths show. There will be expressions of laughs, sadness, joy, affection, frustration and sometimes even tears.

I will also enjoy watching the sunrise, sunset, lakes, clouds, trees and colorful wildflowers during every routine trip.

Through this article, I want to emphasize the importance of noticing little things. Those alone can give the joy that we always desire.

Materialistic things can temporarily make us happy. But the search for happiness begins again, once those things are attained.

We forget that there is a lot of beauty and peace in ordinary things. And that’s why we are not paying attention to those.

Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf. It’s ordinary to love the beautiful, but it’s beautiful to love the ordinary.
