Life may churn out millions of seconds into your life but one thing it never releases into your life is “second chances.” We wish that life came fitted with that fancy “Undo” button… unfortunately it does not…we need to sweat our way to undo our follies of the past, some take hours, some take days, others take months and yet others do take years. Things are never undone in life with just few clicks or few quick swipes like our smart gadgets.

The trick is to make every second count!

Seconds… as long as you make them count have the power to make a difference in your own life and in others…regardless of whether you make an effort to make them count or not to count, they are going to count…

Heraclitus says “You cannot step into the same river twice” and so true it is, a second that has passed by has passed by, I will never be able to relive a second that has passed by…I would like to cherish every second of my life and I have started making significant changes to my life to achieve this end and how about you?

But a lot could be done in a second to make or break others and in the process do the same to ourselves.

It just takes a second to compliment someone…just try right away looking at the mirror or your smart phone cam saying, “you look beautiful”, “that was a good job”, “liked your coffee”, “a nice shirt”.

It just takes a second to utter a consoling word…

It just takes a second to hug your child that comes running to you with its arms flung open as enter your home after a tiring day or for some after a tiring week…

Making every second count, for some it means attracting more money each second, for others becoming more popular. There could be nothing wrong with these goals as long as no damage is caused to the others and as long as you know that your freedom ends where your nose ends, as long as you never barge into others’ space to usurp your “more money” and your “more popularity”.

We have heard several times, time is a great healer, time is a great master and one more thing that we need to know about time is that it is absolutely “unbiased”… 60 seconds is 60 seconds for everyone!

Every second counts. You would never be able to step back to relive a second that has just passed by!

Lately, the increasing awareness for me is that I make my seconds count when I spend more quality time with my family – my wife and my kid and when I am actually cherishing the moment that I am living and not being in 9 am and longing for 5 pm.

Little Things Do Matter in Family Enrichment

Little Things Do Matter 

- By Antony Innocent

Little things do matter and all of us know that but we ignore it ending up only to pay a huge price!

When it comes to building relationships ‘little things’ count the most and no two ways about it.

Aadith on Air

Not many of us realize that it is not just what we say that hurts the people that we love but also those things that we don’t say too hurt people.

What do I mean by little things?

It does not cost us a great deal to say you have cooked a great meal, does it? Certainly not! However, the mileage these little things give is simply amazing.

Your wife wears a nice outfit and a simple, “ you look good” is a little thing…

Your husband says that he has a headache and the next day morning asking him how he is feeling, as the first thing is a little thing…

Not forgetting that your wife likes that ‘black forest’ when you are crossing that pastry shop is a little thing…

And the wife noticing that the husband gets ‘black forest’ every time he crosses that pastry shop just because she likes it is a little thing and making a mental note of it, is a little thing…

We can go on and on with these little things…our life comprises of hundreds of thousands of these ‘little things’, remove these little things of your life, then you have no life. When you do not want to pay attention to these little things, take it from me that you are depriving yourself of the goodness those little things can bring in to your life. Don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting flattery here or that you should say things that you don’t mean. If you start saying things that you don’t mean just because these little things give you great ‘relationship mileage’, (I am not using the term ‘relationship mileage’ in the sense of the number of kilometers that you have traveled with your partner as it is popularly used online, this is just to clarify.) then you are investing in problems, because your better half will easily be able to make it out when you really don’t mean what you say.

No one is too old for a word of appreciation or so ‘self-contained’ not to be touched by a caring comment. Don’t let go of another ‘little thing’ in your relationship without you capitalizing on it.
