Circumstances

 I learnt a long time ago that if you point one finger outwards, three will point back at you. Ever since then, if I see undesirable behavior of someone towards me, I go inwards to see what it is about me that inspired that behavior.

This exercise has helped me tremendously. To understand whether there is something in me that attracted it, and that I should clean up within me or, the issue is within those who mete out such behavior to feel good about themselves or they are just not strong enough to face their issues or circumstances. 

In either case, it becomes a win- win situation for me. Either I clean up or I let go of what is not my concern. It is truly a moment of freedom. It simplifies my life.

Gratify

 We are all custodians of our own conscience. That little voice within us which judges our intentions and a tiny voice in the head that tells us “I did right” or “I did wrong”. Of course, the resulting emotion is either joy or guilt. Rather, SHOULD be if the conscience is more or less clean.

Sometimes, it isn’t though.  And you can make out by the same emotions. If you feel happy in doing the wrong thing, for example! To get back at someone, maybe! Or even overeating! Anything which you know you should not do.

It is gratifying to give ourselves a good certificate for doing what is right, even if no one appreciates it. Ultimately, we are really not looking for kudos from others. We don’t live by the conscience of others, do we?
