The situation is Negative: I am Positive!

The situation is negative: I am positive!

Life is unpredictable. Negative situations come about all the time. It’s almost impossible to avoid them, and control them. Their impact on people’s lives and their attitude is clearly visible. It may lead to a sudden change in mood, frame of mind, thinking, lifestyle, and in extreme situations, the entire life.

Yet there are people, who do not allow negative situations to affect them greatly. These people manage to maintain a super positive attitude even in tough times and emerge victorious after the passing phase.

But how they do that?

It’s all About the Perspective

Everyone wants the colourful garden of life to be filled with beautiful flowers spreading loveliness, greenery and fragrance all around. When someone gifts us flowers, it feels nice. When our friends and relatives gift us flowers, it makes our whole day. The gesture boosts our mood and it feels as if they love us genuinely.

Now imagine, someone has brought a bouquet of assorted flowers just for us. It contains all the flowers that we love. It makes us delightful but as soon as we open the bouquet, a small pin injures us; we feel the pain and start bleeding too.

Now our mind shifts from the flowers to the pain and we start complaining and, in extreme cases, reprimanding that person as well- ‘don’t you know how to choose a bouquet…’?

Obviously that person would say, I brought flowers for you and you are scolding me.

So how do we live our lives- with a positive attitude or negative attitude- it completely depends upon us.

No matter what the situation is, we can always react with empathy and care

Choose Thankfulness over Complains

Further, many times, people are trying to do good for us but we seldom focus on that, rather we focus completely on a little discomfort and pain making us consider that person as completely wrong.

We are not thankful for all the goodness, but give it back ingenuously for small mistakes. However, if a person learns how to stay thankful, his whole life will transform.

So, today, on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti- an apt day to show gratitude towards everything that is amazing in life- take a pledge that we’ll remain thankful for whatever gifts we have. We won’t live with a complaining attitude.

The mantra is- choosing thankfulness over complains.

Different People, Different Thoughts!

Two friends stand looking out thru a window. One says, oh, it’s a gloomy, dark night; it’s too humid here with mosquitoes all around. I cannot sleep in such a bad situation.

On the other hand, the second friend says, I am feeling blissful, it is a beautiful night of Purnima, it’s so wonderful.

So, one person sees gloom while the other, the moon. The way of living life and the mindset is different for two different people.

For a negative person, most of the times, every situation is problematic. Some people focus on blooming flowers while some always on thorns. People who focus on thorns, then to get more thorns in life and those who focus on flowers, fragrance and positivity, they get flowers always.

Thus, understand that it’s all about perspective. Some people see light through the darkness while some darkness through a shadow. Try to be the one who stays hopeful even in a gloomy situation and keep performing wise & right Karmas with a meditative heart.

The victory of such people is inevitable.
