Is it BAD or is it GOOD?

First of all, I must apologize for breaking my own resolution of writing the blog every single week. I recommitt myself to do so.

Well, today I got confronted by the day, as I kept hearing the 'bad' news one after the other almost entire day. Or so I thought. Towards the end I realized that the person who was saying these are the 'bad' news, is me. And if I can (or want to) 'see' them as 'good' news and say whatever happened today has been 'good', then I can. In fact while talking to my wife I realized this and then I turned around and starting 'seeing' them as good and they all turned out to be 'good' from another perspective. I also discussed this with my co-worker and we agreed that whatever happens to us, we are the ones who say it is good or bad, so why not say good to every thing whatever happens to us. That way, we keep feeling good and are empowered to work towards the solution, rather than focussing on the situation as the problem.

I also realized that this fact or concept been told to me or I have known for decades and even I myself coached many people about it, but to really implement in my own life, it really takes internalizing it like the incidents of today. So I resolve that whatever happens, I will always believe that it has happened for good. The key is in having the perspective from which it looks good.

जो होता है अच्छे के लिए ही होता है। शक्ति हमारी नजर में है कि हम उसे अच्छा देखें या बुरा। जय हो। । ।

'I am responsible for my own world'

What is present for me these days is that we create our own world and live in it. And this world is specifically unique to us and is not necessarily shared with others always.

Well simply it can be explained by saying that what I like, other may hate it. So that thing will be dear to me and if I get it I will be happy. But if the other who dislikes it, gets it, he or she will feel sad or angry. So that thing is 'good' for me but 'bad' for the other. So what is it really. Well as the old Indian saying goes "Sansar Maya hai" the world is but an illusion.

So I have really learnt that in reality the world as it occurs to me is pretty unique to me and its creator is I and only I and no one else. Similarly it is true for each and every individual. Every single person's world is as it occurs to them and it happens based on their thinking to what ever is happening around them, they give it either a 'good' or a 'bad' or a 'neutral' meaning and then the 'world' seems to them like that meaning. Hence they are creator of their 'own world'.

So I have decided that with this learning, I will always endeavor to be HAPPY, always give every thing a 'good' meaning. Completely believe that 'All is well' and 'whatever happens, happens for good'.
