Thought 195: The holistic approach to life


Part 5- Dealing With Circumstances

-Nothing remains static in this world - much less circumstances. Do not despair or panic, if they look dark or menacing right now. They will not remain like that for long. In Nature, things get cycled constantly - for instance, night is followed by day is followed by night and so on.

- Do not imagine that future also will be equally as dark. It is this feeling that causes untold and unnecessary suffering. This is virtually the "living hell" that people frequently experience. This is one more self-defeating option on your agenda. This is totally avoidable

- It is not the situation per se which causes the trauma. Rather, it is our perception of it that often causes stress. Cultivate healthy and positive thinking.

- You are never defined by your circumstances. You are always defined by the way you react to them

- You can do little to prevent an event after it takes place. You cannot wish realities away. Accept realities as they are and deal with them on that basis

- Forget yesterday. Plan for tomorrow. Live happily today. You cannot do better than that. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not suffered through

- "Tough times do not last but tough guys do"
