First of March 2016, Spring is nearing, excitement and happiness is building. It looks like weather today reflected my mood- a bright, peaceful and happy day. If you are wondering what I learned from today, here it is.
"Understand YOU through others".That would be the best way to do self check. When you are in conversation with a person, you suddenly realize that the other person is saying/doing something that You usually say/do. And at times you get irritated at their behavior or other times you feel good. I have had similar experiences many times in my life. Even today it happened. It makes me think how it feels when I do the same to others. And it has always helped me improve myself. For instance I used to be very defensive, whether I am doing right or wrong I used to defend myself a lot. In my life I met someone who is exactly like that and I felt their behavior infuriating. After that, I learned to accept when I am wrong. Being defensive is a childish and immature behavior which can only bring shame to yourself.
"Count your Blessings - through others".Count your blessings, count your blessings, count your blessings. This is something you can see in every self help book, blog and article. Why not count your blessings through others. There are times in life when you don't realize what your loved ones are doing for you. This happens when you are too much worried about yourself and becomes self-centered. Other people you know or meet can help you with this. For instance when you see a friend of yours having tough time with her husband, you realize how understanding and loving your husband is. When you see someone's mother being less understanding to their kids, you realize how friendly and understanding your Mom has been. Then you actually think how blessed you are to have such great, loving people in your life. This actually helps you to count your blessings.
"Ignore things that aren't important". In the 24 hours of your day, there can be 100 things happening. And you can't expect everything to be good. It can be good or bad. Don't get too excited or disappointed at anything. Ignore the bad and cherish the good. This can help you a lot. A colleagues taunt, an angry customer, a failed attempt, an embarrassing incident - it can be anything, but learn to throw it in the dustbin. Its a tough thing to do, but once you master it by practice, it can bring a lot of serenity to your life.

The only way you grow in this life is by learning and improving yourself. Since humans are social animals, the best way to do that is through the people in your life. You start feeling good about yourself when you are improved and mature. And when you feel good about yourself, everyone else will. Have a good day!
