“All the world’s a stage and the men and women merely players; they have their exits and entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” -William Shakespeare.
A person plays his role in this stage of world. There is only one life i.e. a person gets one birth as a human being in many thousands of years. In this one life, a person encounters different experiences that make him/her go through different emotions, gestures, attitudes and paths.
Everybody’s life is full of struggle. Of course, sometime one received the beds of roses, but that too exist for very few people and for very short period of time. The struggle in life can be considered as a learning opportunity as it teaches lessons for entire life and also makes one stronger to face such challenges.
There are people who always nag. Even if good things are happening in and around them then also they never miss the opportunity to curse their life for the things not happening with them. They have feelings like jealous and hatred towards other. Even good deeds done for them are not bearable to them. Living life with such gloominess doesn’t lead to a blissful life. Only solution to this darkness is to make one happy by spreading love in the form of generosity, understanding, kindness and accepting others as they are. This will give a lot of positivity to the life. Happy self and around will certainly make the life more beautiful.
Every person is an individual. One should not feel jealous or hatred or to compete with others. This attitude not only creates disturbance for others but also one having such attitudes also have disturbed mind. Thus, one is harming himself/herself. One should try to know himself/herself i.e. one should know his/ her goals and visions, strong skills and skills which need improvement. It’s important to focus on the goals and vision and improvement areas to succeed in life.
One should understand the Law of Attraction. The thoughts one keeps in his/her mind makes him/her a positive or negative person. It’s in our hand to surround oneself with positivity or negativity. It is important to speak and think positive. One negative word is spoken, multiplies thrice in the Universe. Knowingly or unknowingly, negativity is enhanced. Negative thoughts and words harm our life. So, it’s important to be POSITIVE.
According to Maharishi Patanjali,
Maitrikarunamuditopeksanam
sukhadukhapunyapunyavisayanam
bavanataschittaprasadanam
PYS 1.33
This means in relation to happiness, misery, virtue and vice, by cultivating the attitudes of friendliness, compassion, gladness and indifference respectively, the mind becomes purified and peaceful.
In simple language, to keep one’s mind in peace, one should follow the following four attitudes:
- One should do friendship with the one who are happy.
- One should show compassion to one who is unhappy.
- One should be joyful or feel pleasure when one is in the company of good moral or right-minded or right thinking people.
- People who are immoral or wrongdoing or wicked or bad or impure should be kept at a distance. One should apathy with such kind of people. These people hinder the mental peace and spread negativity.
Never forget to Thank God/Universe for whatever the deeds are happening or the gifts one receive. One should always be Thankful.
The world is a stage and we play our role. It’s better to play our role with positivity by spreading love, always in learning mode, following the fourfold attitude and thanking to God for whatever comes in our life. Nothing is permanent in this universe even bad days. So, praying for better world and leading a beautiful positive life is the key to self-mental peace. Thus, leading a healthy life and thereby a beautiful life.
Om Shantih Shantih Shantih……….
