DAY 322 (Choose the world you want to live in!)

I honestly believe that 1 good thing/person overpowers atleast 5 times of negativity. 

Whole my life, I have seen narcissist men all around. That's precisely 22 years of my life. And then I meet one guy and he immediately superseded and changed my expectations from men. What I felt was obvious and natural behavior for 22 years became unacceptable behavior without any leniency. That's what goodness does to you. You forget the capacity and the quantity in which you have it. It is just right and nothing in the world can make you feel otherwise.

Similarly, there might be 100 people who don't really like you or wish ill to you but the 10 people who are your true well wishers will always supersede them all. It is a simple logic. Hate/dislike is never committed enough to be consistent. Someone does not like someone, they will talk ill or wish bad for the person and then move on to the next one to curse. But love prevails always. It is there in the conscious and the subconscious. People who wish well for you, who love you will always love you. Their good energies and blessings will always walk with you. And that's why it is so powerful to have well wishers.

 When random people meet you and just compliment you for random things, bless them back. Be grateful for their positive thought. That one thought will be your fuel in tough times. 

I am someone who is always cursed and criticized for being a "Black-and-white" person. Almost everyone has advised me in so many situations that the most dominant situations in life are "grey". World is not binary. But you know what, it is. For me. 

So be thankful for that one person who stays with you when you tag black and white to things/people/situations. 

Be thankful for that one person who shares your silences and your blabbers.  

Be thankful for people who inspire you without even knowing that they inspired you and acknowledge with humility if someone is inspired by you. Someone told me "To be inspired by someone does not need that person to be a person of fame. Real Inspiration and role models are around us."

This reminded me that for most of my life my role model was my grandmother. Whenever someone would ask how I want to be when I grow up, I always used to say I want to be like my grandmother. Progressive, fighter, patient, person of high morals. Though with time, my role models changed but still most of them are people who are just around me. 

Goodness always circles back. The problem is we expect it to circle back from the people we did good to. That's not fair. Goodness is goodness only if its selfless. If you are doing it for returns, you better invest it with all the calculations of the highest returns! 

So, have faith. If you don't feel blessed enough, mark your people, set them in your inner circle and talk about how you feel. When you hear them saying how much they love you, admire you and appreciate all that you do, you will forget everything that you feel you don't have. Fortunately, I have hardly ever felt "not blessed enough". It is the cure for everything you think is incurable. 

When you are treated well or being helped by someone, make sure you spread that goodness to the world. That is your least responsibility as someone who was helped once. They might say that it is not a world of purity and goodness but we define what this world is and what we can do to contribute to it to be a better place to leave for our children. 

Easier said than done? I don't agree. Much easier done than said! Try it.
