Turn your blues to pink ……..

Two or three days back I don't remember exactly when, I read on one of social networking sites which I regularly visit, 'If you hate a person, rarely someone will come and convince you, how nice is that person. But you love a person, there will be at least 1000 people to convince you, how bad is that person.’

On the same lines I have experienced that if you involve in doing stupid things with people let it be gossiping or back bitching or abusing someone then people will join you surely for the cause but you start doing something good or speak about something good like meditation, helping others etc.; comparatively very few people will join you.

Same thing is true about emotions. I have heard from one of my spiritual GURUs, “If someone tells us, ‘I LOVE YOU’ then immediately we ask, ‘REALLY?’ But if someone tells us, ‘I HATE YOU’, we never ask ‘REALLY?’ Also when we are happy or everything in life is going good then we are doubtful and worried is it real? Is it going to last? But when we are miserable or in poor state of mind we are sure that it is what our state of mind is and we think it is going to last almost forever”

In today’s world we observe people doubting each other. People not sure what will happen with them tomorrow. There are many people who are very positive and enthusiastic about living life, but the comparison between former and later reveals that former kind of people are far more than later ones.

Suppose someone always wants to be benevolent and wish to do something good to humanity and to every living creature. But by mingling with all kind of people he/she is getting disturbed and becoming negative as more negative people he/she is getting and can’t keep doing his/her work. So should he/she start avoiding people or put some kind of filter? Well that’s necessary to certain extent but doesn’t help you much. And when you are living in society it becomes necessary to know whereabouts of your surrounding and we are bound to meet all kind of people.

What should we do to avoid negativity or negative emotions?

Well, I did one experiment; I started concentrating on my work. Also while someone is telling me something I started keeping very neutral view towards it. Also, I started focusing totally on my goals, my vision and my objective. (First of all I prepared them.)

I started putting time intentionally for mixing with people who have common interests with me. I started doing things which I like. I started avoiding arguments and keeping my view very neutral and if necessary towards positive side. I avoided negative emotions if ever they occurred in my mind and observed them with neutral view and immediately replacing them with good ones like happiness, gratitude, love, and passion.

Also the most important thing I stopped doubting positive emotions and good things said to me.

My observation after this is, there come positive and no-nonsense people around you, everywhere. You get your own space to live-think-act. Naturally, I started saving more time and enjoy my life better way.
