Always act, don’t react and worsen things !!!

Posted on

Most of the times, whatever happens to you is beyond your control, you cannot do much about it, but how you react or respond to it is very much in your domain and you can certainly control it.

Your child spills a glass of milk on your best dress when you are about to go for an important appointment is beyond your control but how you react to it is very much in your control. If you scream, shout, rebuke and kick up a fuss you have only worsened the situation, because, in all probability your child may burst into uncontrollable sobs and you may wind up getting delayed or miss the appointment altogether.

On the other hand, if you realise that it’s better to mollify the child, go upstairs and change into a fresh set of clothes you may retain the peace. People can and will be rude to you at times.Whether you react angrily and keep it in your heart, brooding over it or decide to side step is entirely up to you.

Yes, you may point out the behaviour in gentle but firm language and ensure that they don’t cross the line, but picking up a fight, reacting similarly or keeping a grudge in your heart will not help matters and you will be only harming yourself. So always act, don’t react and worsen things. ~Latika Teotia

Be patient !!! Be encouraged !!!

If you want to change your life start by taking baby steps, one at a time, and follow your heart passionately. The very desire to change yourself for the better is a good beginning.

So go ahead, start your journey- sooner the better- and with that burning desire within you every step that you take brings you that much closer to your goal. But remember there are no shortcuts in life; you have to cross every stage and mark each milestone.

In your desire to reach earlier if you take shortcuts, it’s quite likely that you may wind up taking a long, grueling, laborious, tiring and more difficult path.

Being grateful is a key to staying happy !!!

Be thankful for what you have; don’t brood over your misfortunes. Perhaps some calamity has befallen you or perhaps you have lost a near and dear one. Maybe you have recently had some serious health issues or perhaps you are having financial problems. Yes, such circumstances are very difficult to bear and you feel that your world has crashed. But even then there is so much to be thankful for.

A man lost his shop and his entire life’s savings in a fire. When someone asked him what he had lost, he replied, “The fire burnt my shop and life’s savings but my confidence is intact.”

Rise from your gloom, shed the negativity that invariably accompanies a tragedy and count your blessings; you’ll realize that you have much to be grateful for. Thank the Lord for what you have.  ~Latika Teotia

Be judicious in what you choose !!!

You must know that you cannot control your fate and your destiny completely. But there are a lot of things that you can. You can choose your friends and the persons you interact with. You can decide what you want to do with your life, time and money. You can choose to see the glass half empty or half full; see threat in every opportunity or an opportunity in every threat. Remain in a state of self denial or remain composed in the face of adversity. You can select negativity or embrace positivity. And above all you can select your own beliefs, convictions, thoughts and opinions. Therefore, be judicious in what you choose.~Latika Teotia

Know your worth !!!

Manipulators make you feel down, depressed, dejected, sad, gloomy and miserable. They make you feel as if you have some very serious mental issues. If, you are surrounded by such people then remember that there is nothing wrong with you, it’s the other way round- good as well as normal people don’t really go around intimidating, demoralising and destroying others. Ignore them. I just hope you realize how special you are for your loved ones.

Bitter or Better ???

Selective amnesia or forgetfulness is good for leading a happy life. Forget the uncomfortable incidents and be grateful for the good ones. Write your bitter memories on sand and the good ones on stone so that winds of time can quickly sweep away the bad memories and the memorable ones remain permanently etched.~Latika Teotia

Base your life on everlasting things !!!

10 Inspirational Quotes

Don’t centre your life on temporary or transient things; that way your peace, happiness, feeling of completeness and contentment too would be, at best, temporary.

Base your life, instead, on everlasting things which give you a sense of fulfillment. Your position in life, your wealth, your looks and so on will disappear with the passage of time; the more you try to hang on to them, the more insecure you’ll feel because you will always be scared of losing them.

Rise above all this and aim at things that will bring you inner peace while you are alive and will also outlast you. Your attitude should always be of being merciful, always be kind, compassionate, gentle, loving, caring and empathetic. The more you give of these the more you will receive; it’s that kind of wealth which will never diminish with the passage of time despite being spent- it’ll keep adding up and also give you a sense of fulfillment. ~Latika Teotia

Learn to deal !!!

If you think that regulating your life and fixing whatever goes wrong in it is someone else’s responsibility, then you are mistaken and not being realistic. You and you alone are responsible for whatever happens, or does not happen, in your life. You can’t just throw your burden on someone else’s shoulder and hope that things will work out. God helps those who help themselves. So get up and get going by seizing the moment and taking charge. ~Latika Teotia
