Be happy like there's no other day

I started this blog in year 2016,

approximately two years back. I hardly write in English despite a journalist or whatever. One of my good friend wants me to write in English who she is the one insisted me to start this blog. A new year has arrived and I thought of writing something which is going through in mind in this blog once a week.

One the New Year eve I and my good friend Tharindu had a walk around Colombo, mainly Galle Face, where it was filled with people. Tharindu is the one who gave the birth to my Journalism carrier. I should write a sentence about last year, because it was one of my best years. I was filled with love, carrier success, and I travelled to Middle East too.

Starting with New Year, I saw a wonderful post in face book. It was written by Reuters Sri Lanka correspondent Shihar Aneez. It said: 

Many people believe a new year should bring something new in their life, different and better than the last year and some new changes. But a new year does not change anybody. It is just another ordinary year, unless we do something extraordinary to change ourselves. We conveniently forget that it is us who should change for a better life and the time can't change us. Here are some tips (thanks to twitter) I have decided to change myself in the New Year:

Family first
Exercise 
Read 
Eat healthily 
Save 
Learn something new 
Volunteer.

Though my English writing skills aren't good, thought of writing this blog hasn't disappeared. As Shihar says a New Year, time or numbers won't change our life, Time will not change anything in our lives. But there are cultures and traditions which we cherished over the years. It is common with this Western New Year system and the Sinhala and Tamil New Year which we celebrated in the month of April.

We have to live our lives with those cultures and traditions. It is like batting on a given pitch facing the bowling an attack consists of Wasim Akram, Macgrath, Chaminda Vass, Murali and Warne. We have to accept those cultures and traditions; we have to wish each other on those special days. Just wishing others and in return getting wishes will not change our life.   

So we need to change ourselves, I am not a motivator, but I write this to help someone who reads this as it will help him or her to do little changes in their lives. We need to live a life of joy and happiness. It shouldn't mean that you don't need to money to live such life or you should have money. You need to understand the ways which make you happy and the things you capable of. Small changes in your life will bring happiness to you; a little change will bring happiness to your life. Understand your priorities, be simple and kind, help others with what you have and be happy with what you have. Don't compare your life or what you have with others. Comparing will kill your happiness. Be happy like there's no other day, work hard let success make noise, help others like an angel. Be kind be human. Live a life a king but to be king you have to work hard. But to live a life king you must not have a wear a crown or gold. A crown doesn't make people like Kings but their attitudes.
