A Simple Shift.
Life is always in a flux. Unpredictability is its inherent nature.
When life situations are fortuitous, our pleasure knows no bounds and life seems to be an unending carnival of fun and joy. If these situations are bad, we drown into a sorrowful abyss. However, we all want our life to be unending saga of happiness and joy! How can we achieve this? Is there a way out? I am sure each one of us would like discern.
Well, in my opinion situations are neither good nor bad. It is only how we perceive them, gives them the color of good or bad. This means that if we can work on our perceptions we can create better life conditions. Perception is a mind matter. No doubt it is unique to every individual yet it can be changed for the better. Some people are lucky to be blessed with a positive mind set but the good news is that such a mind set can be accomplished by anyone.It is the innate nature of the mind that it can be educated and refined and good habits cultivated, by awareness and practice.
A simple shift in our perspective is all it takes to change our world.
We must be willing to adopt an optimistic and hopeful mind-set. To not only take a conscious decision to be happy but also observe life and situations without a bias. Relearn to divest ourselves of preconceived notions of good or bad and view life from a fresh and contemporary perspective. Learn to appreciate rich insights which life has to offer. To be able to see potential of growth in every situation. To acknowledge the uniqueness of every individual and empahsise their positive attributes. To be always in gratitude for what we have and count our blessings. To rise above our own problems and lend a helping hand to the needy. Self-less service can be an amazing tool to bring about a shift in our perspective.
As we gradually shift our perspective, we will develop the unique quality of transmuting negativity into positivity. Optimism will be our talisman and our life will be imbued with happiness and contentment which will remain with us forever.
