Yes, I am changing



Are You Changing ???
 
Yes, I am changing. — After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.

 Yes, I am changing. —  I just realised that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

 Yes, I am changing  —  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

 Yes, I am changing  —  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 and relieve the past.

 Yes, I am changing  —  I've learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong.  After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me.  Peace is more precious than perfection.

 Yes, I am changing  —  I give compliments freely and generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. 

 Yes, I am changing  —  I've learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt.  After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.  

 Yes, I am changing  —  I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do. 

 Yes, I am changing  —  I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race.  After all, I am not a rat and neither am I in any race. 

 Yes, I am changing  —  I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.

 Yes, I am changing  —  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.

 Yes, I am changing  —  I've learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.

 Yes, I am changing  —  I am doing what makes me happy.  After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me
