Let the pebble thrown by others create, positive ripple in our soul!

Receiving positive feedback naturally boosts our spirit. But, all people we come across, all situations face are not always positive. Keeping calm and hopeful in adverse situation seems quite challenging. Being balanced in all circumstances is an art. To have our constructive energy flowing, we need to learn to respond to unfair situations appropriately...

Usually, it is not the negative situation that feeds the negativity to our soul; it is our interpretation of the situation that causes trouble. A situation in itself is powerless. It’s us who feed power to it through our comprehension and analysis.

A circumstance can either be positive or negative; it either strengthens our opinions, decisions or weakens it. At times, we magnify situations and see it as unrealistically positive or as unrealistically negative. When we are feeling down and shattered because of something negative, we will be giving our power away to the situation. Hence, we feel utterly helpless in dealing with it. Our mental dialogue goes like, “Oops, how can I handle it?!” Here, we are implying that the circumstance is much bigger than our ability to handle it. We feel weak, victimized and helpless.

Instead, if we make a little alteration in the way we perceive the world and see an unfair situation as challenging rather than threatening, we start experiencing power. And when we are operating from the place of our internal potential, a situation, instead of harming us may pose opportunities that can actually make us try out new things and explore a world that we haven’t explored so far.

As we become more powerful than anything else that is hindering our potential and as we channelize our energy towards constructive actions, we could start seeing a negative situation as promising, positive and a chance to grow…

Today, let us give ourselves a chance to experience the positive ripple in our soul in response to the pebble thrown by others!
