Change

Thought for the day:

The first step toward change is acceptance. 

Once you accept yourself, you open the door to change. 

That's all you have to do. 

Change is not something you do, it's something you allow.

Will Garcia

Amen to that!But, are you willing to do that? You want the world, the people, everyone around you to change...you wish that they would come around to your level of thinking,so that you could always be correct. If they don't, if someone disagrees, you don't feel like talking to them, you think they're against you, you lose your temper or you sulk or you start shouting and soon, it's a mud-slinging competition going on.

Which is why, I usually(No, it's not possible for me also all the time) try to put myself in the other's person's shoes and understand why he or she is saying something, instead of flying into a blue funk and vitiating the atmosphere all round. Try it- it will work, I guarantee..and, forget others-you'll be increasing your life span..the less the anger, the irritation,the bad words, the better your life will be.Change yourself-that's the difficult part.The rest will be easy.(Pun intended)

Change

"You can't change others as easily as you can change yourself"

Frankly, that was the most inspirational thought I've seen this week. We spend a major part of our lives, specially when we are working, in trying to comment on others, their work, what they are doing wrong, how they should improve, etc etc. But, have you ever given a thought to yourself? Are you perfect? Do others see you as perfect? So, why not make an effort to change yourself first?Think about a good word for everyone, say a good word to everyone, resist that effort to make a taunt!You'll close the day, feeling much better than you did!Believe me, I tried it and it works! Well,sometimes, anyway. There are days when negativity around me ends up making me also feel below ground level!But,then, that's another challenge of life that I have to face!
