We discover something new everyday. I realised that a feeling of contentment depends greatly on acceptability. The reason we often burn on the inside is the conflict that arises from not accepting things as they are.
And the most arduous and conflicting of all
is to embark on a project of changing people or situations.
How many of these have you all been able to
change ? I am certain of the answer. So, what next ? Accept what is. And if you
look for pluses in what is, wonders of wonders , you will actually find them.
Life always compensates a lack of something
with something else. Only the human mind gets stuck and refuses to accept a
different scenario. The mind is really like the rusty pin of an erstwhile
record player which used to get stuck on the deepening grooves of old records
with every play.
Well… the only way is to heave ho and
catapult yourself onto a new space with energy . Regretfully, that energy is
also stagnant within the mind space. So, once you accept only , can you move
into a better space.
So much knowledge but half baked ! Until
you actually apply it with understanding. And THEN you learn to smile, shrug
and move on without any internal damage…….And there comes your contentment !
