When life gives you iron and not gold play with it, eat it, dance with it, heat it, use it, sell it, make money get rich buy gold. Three years back I was sad! sad about not receiving what I expected, sad about disappointments, sad because I didn’t have things I wanted and about many other things the list won’t end. I always had something to complain about. Many times my behavior was rude towards people around me. I used to feel low.We hurt others only when we are damaged. Life didn’t seem to change my situation grew worse.The day you realize you are in a very bad condition that's the day you know now nothing could get worse and when you know that there can’t be anything worse there is only one thing that can happen that's GOOD. Problem with me was not my situation. Problem was not that I was lacking resources. Problem was that I lacked the ability to realize what I have. I always focused on the things that were going wrong. I spoke about the bad stuff. When one is busy talking and thinking about the disappointments he hardly has the time to talk about his good stuff. Now I look back at the sillier,much innocent less logical version of me no doubt I agree I have seen dark nights but there were sunny(:p) days too.But why am I suddenly all philosophical?(because maybe I have nothing to dokidding). Everyday I come across many people and many situations so do we all. Life is not all fun (unless you watch sitcoms) many things make us sad like a rude person,a thing we are not appreciated for after hard work, a sickness and many other things. There are times we can't do much about such things and there are times we can’t do anything about them. That’s the time when we feel helpless that’s the time when we are all weak. We are left with nothing. We are sad, dejected and depressed. That’s when we start thinking and thinking more about all the negative things around us. Start asking questions why me? why this? why that? our approach towards good and bad things is completely different we never ask why did I get the ice cream? why is it me who got a pet? we think very less about good things that happen to us. But when it comes to the bad stuff we start a never ending loop of questions, perceptions and worries about all the bad stuff that has happened to us. We compare our conditions with others around us. We always feel its only us who is sad. We start killing our self. We create a situation where we have all the bad stuff we are helpless about and all the things we do to make our conditions worse. Many say we can’t control our thoughts I partially agree with such people we can neither control our thoughts nor our poop. Things who wan't to come out will come out. We can’t control but we can replace. We can replace all our bad thoughts with the positive ones. We can if we want to.We are not going to stay skinny or fat for the entire life so shouldn't we enjoy being what we are today because a year later neither will we look same nor will we feel same.When we start replacing each bad thought we an equally positive thought we will focus on our good stuff. In no time we'll have more positive thoughts than the bad ones. We will think about good stuff create a never ending loop of positive thoughts. As Buddha said if we didn't learn a lot today at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick and if we got sick at least we did'nt die
