Top Ten reasons to prove, “You are really lucky”.
By - Abhudai Pal
This too shall pass!
The sentence conveys that, whatever we see, feel, watch and experience is not eternal. Thus, the temporary problems we perceive as permanent is nothing but the illusion of the mind.
The way our society has programmed us is taxing us.
Why the habit of visualizing the half-empty glass is imbibed in us? The preachings of society have programmed us in a way that we consider only the negative aspects of life.
How could you be creative, when your mind focuses only on:
How painful is my life?
How everyone is interested in pulling my legs?
How bad luck is my companion?
The arrival of these thoughts is not a concern. The concern is that you approve your self-immolating thoughts. The moment your mind thinks, “I am not worthy of this prize”. Your mind begins to collect the data of all competitions in which you failed. It recollects the memories of your peers mocking you and reminds you of your loses. But, none of your past wins.
The mind is amazing, it gives you thought/idea to work upon, and if you ruminate over that idea it begins to gather the incidences in support of an idea. Amazing, isn’t it?
The mind does give you positive thoughts to contemplate over. Alas! you choose only the bad ones!
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed” is stated by Law of Conservation of energy. It can be transferred from one form to another. Similarly, the thoughts of your mind can’t be changed but you can choose what to give importance and what not?
Did you know? You are really blessed more than you even acknowledge. I will help you reminding you of your fate, how you are living a life with a decent standard of living for which others have to toil hard.
