Life is how u treat it..
The way we react to situations is totally in our hands...
We can choose to be happy and stay happy!!!
Recently I read an article on "The 90/10 Principle" by Stephen Covey.
The principle says" 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react."
This principle hit the chord and made my grey cells work....
Somehow I thought of trying it out and it really worked. Being happy is a conscious choice, it’s not an automatic response.
And its we who are totally responsible for our happiness.
I am a learner by experience.
And one thing that I have learnt from life is, there is no use cribbing and crying about things that didn’t work.
If things didn’t work it was bcoz either they were not destined to happen or you didn’t deserve it.
Being an optimist, ill say it didn’t work bcoz probably something better is in store.
I agree, at times, it’s inevitable to get depressed with all the negativity around and with the tough and testing times life brings along with it.
But these are the 10% of life on which you have no control, where you are helpless. But then when u know you are helpless and you can’t do anything, why think more, be depressed and worsen the situation?
I know its easy saying but when it comes to reality all these fundas/philosophies are nothing but crap.
Sometime back I had one such eventful day(eventful bcoz the events brought some good lessons with it)..Everything around me seemed so negative..I was helpless...and situations were sucking...
I was getting frustrated, irritated...These are the times when you either analyze as to what went wrong or discuss with a good friend.
I got great friends and with them come great philosophies (which are nothing but crap at that point of time)
But if I ponder on those philosophies I realize how much sense they make.
I mean see, life always has ups and down. All bad days have good days to follow, so always face the bad day in a way u can be proud of.
why cry and waste those days and regret later on, when u know u cant do anything about it. You ought to be helpless at times, you are not God to be all powerful.
We all know all these philosophies and we don’t tend to give a ear to it bcoz we find it very heavy.
So even I wont give much of these but then....
Okay coming back to my agenda...i was talking about happiness being a choice...
All I know is - Smile and the world Smiles with you...Decide for a day that you wont crib, cry and won’t get depressed and see the difference..Be happy and make others happy and I bet u can make all the difference.
Now, what about problems, testing times, responsibilities, losing your love, good friends…… All these are tough times..who doesn’t have all these problems...?
I know at times Life is a bitch, but we should learn how to treat it.
Love it and it will love u back, Hate it and it will make your life hell.
And then we all are just travelers, out on a journey. You meet some, and you lose some in this span.
Problems - they'll come and go. People will come and go… You’ll never have good times all the time..
But all we can do is Be cool and enjoy the journey..
So, GunnGunna le, muskura le...Zindagi mein kush reh le:)
Sing, dance, and laugh...Keep the child in u alive...Be happy and be wild:)
And yes Love yourself!!!
I feel very positive about everything, as I end this post…
hum hain rahi pyaar ke, phir milenge chalte chalte.... :)
