2021-12-02 06:51:49 The choice is ours

There is both goodness and ugliness in the world around us. But it is up to us to choose which one to pay more attention to.

When faced with a problem or an upset, if we take a good look at it, we will find that the thought of the problem hurts more than the problem itself.

Perhaps an unpleasant encounter at work or on the street can have a very bad effect on us. The story ends in a matter of minutes, but the discomfort and annoyance it can have in our minds for a couple of days or even longer may haunt us.

To put it more precisely, we will find that the thought and thought of it being unpleasant or much worse than it itself has made us sad.

Thinking about the problem is usually more than the annoying problem itself. A positive and productive way can be to control thoughts and reduce the amount of discomfort in the mind and mind.

This time, when something bad happened or an unpleasant encounter happened, we could decide to get less upset and forget it sooner.

Negative thoughts and feelings such as anger, hatred, and annoyance should not be kept in our minds and hearts.

Imagine what would happen if you didn't leave the kitchen waste for a few days. The whole house smells and becomes infected. In such a home one cannot feel happy and relaxed.

The same is true of negative thoughts and feelings. Keeping them for a long time will pollute our minds and hearts. Then our lives will become stinky and polluted and we will have trouble being happy.

Stay positive and happy ओपन / कमेंट
