Balancing on one leg

Balancing on one leg


About 2 3 days ago i wanted to go somewhere.. I went upto a rikshawala who was resting in his rik but got alerted and ready as soon ad he saw me.. Though he still lay on his rik i told him where i wanted to go n he gave me the correct price.. He cut all the nonsense bargaining and stuck to his work..
From the back of his rik he slid onto the riders seat.. I found it a bit odd because usually they get off yawn a bit and then go the riders seat.. I sat down.. And he started pedaling. .All i was able to think about was how difficult his life would b by just having one functional leg...he rode the rik like any one normally would.. he used his upper body to pull himself up and then would pedal with one leg..

This just got me thinking about all those times where i got a small cut on the leg.. Or as a matter of fact even a sprain how i just give into the pain.. How we sit around and crib..
We get overwhelmed by the pain refusing to take it as a challenge refusing to enjoy it.. Refusing to take it head on.. I took a pledge that day to never b sad to take every problem no matter big or small .. Physical or emotional...with a big grin on my face..

Giving up is easy.. It takes courage but still titles u as a quitter..
As someone great said " pain is inevitable suffering is optional.. U can smile or b miserable the choice is yours.. r u smiling?" r u taking it head on or r u just scared by the size by the intensity of it..

This made my life even better.. It has replaced joy with happiness.. :)

Ps i am smiling r u??
