Will talk later.” “Dad I won’t be able to come today I have loads of work.” You might have given time to others in life but might have missed making time for the parents. This time is for you and your parents. Sit with them, converse, listen and, cherish all the beautiful memories. Parents do a lot for their children but never show.

One may get thoughts like, “I planned to set up a new business but things are changed now. “ “I wanted to go on an international holiday but can not go at the present time” With such thoughts you will only hurt yourself. So, have thoughts like, “Whatever I have at the moment, is good”. “Good enough to live.” “Good enough to be happy.” Your happiness is your responsibility.
