When we grow up and acquire lots of knowledge, we complain that life is complex, I don't get anything, people don't get me!, the list goes on...
Remember the time when we were little, content with our lives, finding joys in little things, being the reason for others' smiles...? But there's no need to remember it because we can LIVE it!
One day, I told a four year old, "Look Aanya, this bird has only one leg!"
She looked at it and said smiling, "But it can Fly!"
I was surprised to hear this. It was simple, without giving much thought she just told the obvious. And I was busy thinking that what might have happened and how difficult it must be for that bird...until I realized that we don't need to strain our minds! Optimism is nothing complex. Look at the world with a child's eyes and everything is amazing!
Doesn't matter how old we've grown up, the child in us is always there and will be awakened if we'll realize its presence.
Even after being so fortunate we crib about the things that we don't have. If we start counting what all we have, then we'll run out of numbers. So be thankful and grateful for what all you have. There are many reasons to be happy and Life is too short to be sad. So cheer up! Live happily today, to the fullest and tomorrow will take care of itself.

Eye-opening words you have here! What do you need legs for, when you can fly? Look at the world with the rose-rimmed glasses of a child, and you'll see it is beautiful. :)
