Kick off the negativity!

Unhappiness is part of life. Many of us do not accept this fact and choose to blame either fate or God for it. Yes, even for me it was difficult to accept at first, but the period of unhappiness, if wisely utilized can bring about positive changes in a person.

There are so many things in life to be unhappy and frustrated about. But if you carefully sit to make a list, you would find that good things rule your life. Whenever you feel odd and worthless, think of what you have in life and not of what you don’t have. As Buddha rightly said that desire is the cause for sufferings, try to let go your desire of anything. Try to reach your goals and get what you want, but never let it be an obsession…life is not just about achieving high standards and getting the best. 

All I learnt in my time of dullness is that a problem isn’t problem until you see it as one. And the most effective ways that I learnt to tackle with bad times are:

1.       When you have an argument, listen first, take a break, and then decide. As said in Kung fu Panda movie, you cannot reach a good decision when your mind is agitated. 

2.     If you do not find anything interesting in life and you find symptoms of depression growing inside you, then you better switch on the television and watch Friends or How I Met Your Mother, or any other funny series and not some saas bahu family serials. They tend to depress you more.

3.      Read inspirational and spiritual books and quotes. These may help you go on plus may validate some of you past actions and provide you with a sense of peace and integrity and raise your self confidence.

4.      Get closer to your parents. Sometimes it’s difficult, but parents are those people who forgive their child’s mistakes sooner or later…sometimes I think their heart was made out of the same material that makes God. Getting closer to them and helping them may give you an immense satisfaction. Plus it will be easy for you to tell them your problems and convince about something, and they too will find it easy to do the same.

5.      Look at bad times as an opportunity to improve and realize your mistake. Thank God for protecting you from worse things that might have happened. Know that God can tackle all your mistakes all you need to do is believe in him and let him work his way. Give him time, and teach yourself patience.
