Each
one of us one time or the other has faced things that perturbed us. It might be
a failure, sudden death of loved ones, a broken marriage, a terminal disease, a
lost pet etc. Some of the smart ones surmount this in no time and others cry
over the spilled milk throughout their life. Is it worth crying over the things,
that you have less or no control over? This really is a thought provoking question;
each one of us should ask ourselves.
It’s of no use crying over the past if you can’t go back and change the past, unless you have a self owned “time traveler machine” with you. If you give it a thought u will know that it’s very simple. You should understand 3 things if u still feel doubtful:
- You can’t go back and change things.
- Thinking about the past does nothing good to your life, nor to those around you.
- Brooding over the past will deprive you of happiness in the present.
Have you
seen a race track with hurdles? For an athlete hurdle doesn’t mean the end of
the game, it’s just a pause point before reaching the finishing point. Life is
like a race track where problems are the hurdles. When we confront with a
problem we just pause there and that is not the end of the journey of life. We
just have to face the problem and move on coz we have a long way to go, to
reach our goal.
Moving on is courage and brooding over is nothing but, cowardice. Never complicate the problems we encounter. Problems are problems only till we think it’s a problem. Every problem is an eye opener, I should say. It teaches you something new that you dint knew till you faced that problem.
We value things only when it’s lost. The same thing is applicable to relationships too. Give value to people and respect their personality. Forgive people and never keep grudge against anyone. Grudge is like a parasite, it takes positive energy from you. And be ready to apologize if you feel mistake is from your side. Being sorry doesn’t make you a bad person; rather it shows your courage to acknowledge your flaws.
Here are
few things to keep in mind for a happy life:
- God dint clone people. Each one of us is unique. So accept the people for what they are.
- Forgive people, even those who hurt you.
- Never keep grudges against anyone.
- Admit your mistake and never be late to act contrite.
- Lend a hand to others. Their smile will surely leave a curve on your lips too.
- Forget the pain and move on in life, because there is lot more to explore out there.
- A predicament in life is not a full stop, but a comma.
- Problems are not standardized, but custom made. So it’s you, who can derive a better elucidation than anybody else out there.
Actually
life is a beautiful journey. There is always something amazing about every
day. We have to be positive about everything. Trust your inner voice or
the one we call as ‘intuition’. That’s one cute friend of yours who in no way
ditches you. Whether you are in your childhood, teens, adulthood or old age, we
have only one life, so enjoy life to its fullest.
