How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
Life changing events look different for different people. An important event in my life was when I topped my exams for the first time. This incident gave me confidence and motivated me to progress even further in my studies. This incident created a feeling of happiness and pride in my family and among my friends. This incident proved to me that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. That day I learned that if you dream and work hard to fulfill those dreams, then dreams come true. That day I was a direct proof of this. From that day onwards I got a new energy to pursue further education and live life. There are some moments in everyone’s life which are very special for them. We should remember those moments and also learn from those moments. These special moments of our life are sources of happiness in our life. These moments have great importance in our lives. I hope that everyone in this world would not have thought that an unusual day will become the most memorable day of their life. This is such a moment of our life which remains with us in our memories as long as we are alive. It can be in the form of a good or bad memory. Whenever something good happens to us, it makes our way of life absolutely good. And if something bad happens to us then our perspective of living changes.
If it is in the form of a good and happy memory of life then we want it to remain with us throughout our life, and if it is in the form of a sad moment then we never want it to remain with us. In both such cases, the event becomes an unforgettable event for us. Nature made only those provisions for us which were appropriate for us. Whatever he has done till date, he has done it only for our welfare and welfare. In reality, we neither have any control over this life nor over our certain death. Nature itself has kept the control of when, where, how and under what conditions and circumstances someone will be born and will end and be destroyed. We have no control over the shape, type and color of our body. Whatever we have got is the best in every way, only by accepting this truth we have to perform our duties and fulfill our responsibilities fully. When the mind is weak, circumstances become a problem. When the mind is still, situations become challenges. But when the mind is strong, circumstances become opportunities. It is clear that the circumstances are the same, but their nature and their impact on us varies according to the state of our mind and brain. Therefore, the truth is that the direction and condition of our own life completely depends on our own state of mind. Always keep your mind and brain under your control. Stay positive, abandon negative behavior. Your circumstances will automatically come under your control.
If bad times do not come, the strangers hidden among our own people and the loved ones hidden among strangers are never seen. Good and bad times stay with everyone. But there is good in bad times too. In times of trouble we often need someone’s help, and this is the only opportunity which makes us aware of the truth of other people’s loyalty towards us. Those people who would support you only in your happy times, will try to stay away from you in your bad times on some pretext or the other. But those who will be your true friends, who want your best, will never leave you. He will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, not looking at your adverse circumstances, time and suffering, but keeping your needs in mind. The courage to see another dream even after failure is called “life”. Failing does not mean losing. Failure only indicates that the efforts for success were not made wholeheartedly, or there may have been a lack of confidence and determination. Welcome every new day with the belief that you will strive wholeheartedly for success and will never be disappointed or defeated by failures, nor will you ever accept defeat from anyone.
No one becomes great without struggle. To live life one has to struggle. Circumstances are not in our control but our mental state is in our control. There is a need to control the mental state. The one who has control over his mental state easily attains happiness in every situation. He who does not melt with praise and does not boil with criticism, attains the joy of living. Only the one who believes that “whatever is achieved is enough” remains satisfied.
Along with the normal incidents that occur in life, there are often hidden moral aspects of great importance in the accidents and incidents that occur. We should take those accidents as an education and life lesson and after taking lessons from them, we should redefine our future policies and goals. All these so-called accidents and incidents occur only to re-determine the direction of our life, and their purpose is to make life dynamic and active and provide the right direction by further developing our abilities. Any event that happens brings with it some reason or purpose, and leaves its impact in our lives. We have to learn something from every incident and make all our future plans accordingly. We have to learn a lesson from every incident that happens and also prepare for the future, so that we do not do any such negative thing again which may cause us any pain or loss again. On the contrary, pleasant events provide happiness, prosperity and happiness and the root causes giving rise to them are worthy of repetition in life. Therefore, respect every incident that happens equally, and take it with equal and positive feelings, whether it causes pain or loss, or gives respect and happiness.
In life, we should never give such a chance to anyone to snatch the smile from our face. We must remember that this world is for us, not we for the world. We must have control over our own actions and emotions. We should recognize the weaknesses and strengths of our heart and have control over them. Why give the key (control) of your mind to someone else? We have to face the different situations that come in our life. How to do this must be our own decision. Why and how can anyone else control them? We must have control over our emotions and actions so that we can remain self-reliant. Why become a puppet in someone else’s hands?
Therefore, the events happening in life are not so important that they affect our future life. Only the events that happen in life make us strong and powerful.
