Month: September 2016

The topic of today is what do people thank me for? Well all this depends on the situation,  I have been thanked for complimenting them on something they did well, or something nice they were wearing. I also get thanked for giving words of encouragement when people are having a bad day.  When helping someone out even if it is some one I don’t know.  People thank me for holding doors open for them or letting them cut in front of me in the line at the grocery store because they have less items than me. There are many reasons I get thanked. I like to help people and I am glad that there are people that still appreciate that.

I was given this topic to write about. The word hate is such a strong an powerful word. I don’t like to say that I hate something as it sounds too harsh. Greatly dislike is probably better. So what do I greatly dislike about the world. That we are so quick to judge other people without giving it a second thought.  That people seem to go with the majority just to fit in and don’t seem to have  sense of self. That people make themselves feel good about themselves by putting others down or disliking someone because they are different.  I think it’s sad that people laugh or post videos of others mishaps and find it hilarious. Yes some are funny but the ones I am concerned about is where people seem to put themselves or are put in real danger.  Where is the empathy and compassion in the world?

I know that staying positive when things seem to not be going well it tough. There are many recommended things that you can do when you are feeling down and negative here are a few :

1) Replace any negative thought with a positive one.

2) Listen to music and sing along

3) Go for a walk or do some kind of exercise.

4) Get a gratitude journal. You don’t have to get anything fancy even a notebook will do. All you have to do is at the end of each day write down five things that you are grateful for now matter how little it may see.

5) Surround yourself by positive people

6) Meditate even if it is just for 5 minute.

These are just a few ideas. What kind of ideas do you have or what has worked for you?

 Although living a spiritual life does bring you a lot of insight it doesn’t prevent you from the error or behaviors of others. We are not responsible for the actions of others but we can learn to react in a positive way and learn from the errors of others.

Every one has their ups and down. Remember that our happiness depends on each of us not on others. We all have our struggles and have been through things but we don’t have to let those things hold us back or bring us down.  Think to yourself what lesson(s) did I learn from this situation and use those lessons to help you grow as a person.

to stay positive and be the best you that you can be.
