Gratitude is the foundation of a noble character. And it should cover beyond living or present. Our holidays, great monuments, history, memorial days etc are meant to helps us rejuvenate such memories to celebrate together or to remember our own past or collective history. Keeping that in mind, it is ideal to honor such days with meaning and purpose rather than treating as declared off-days. Sometimes I myself even struggle with. Let's put it in this new year resolution like many does, to execute without fail.
Many of us are fortunate enough to spend time with families or to have a great vacation if treated such as an 'off-day'. Even then it shouldn't stop us from sharing fraction of such joy to others. Be it any act like sharing food to less fortunate, planting a tree or helping elderly or visiting spiritual places to connect. Such acts not just make memories for us or to help us remember our past, but to create good memories for others in the process. Our views are limited within our surroundings, due to which the hardships faced by many in today's world in form of wars, natural disasters, diseases, accidents, poverty etc could be easily forgotten. Let us keep everyone in our prayers. With bit of love and gratitude, nothing in this world is beyond resolution. Happy Holidays and let's be optimistic for a more brighter New Year ahead. Pledging ourselves to create a Better World than today. Maybe, one step at a time!
