Sometimes, we know certain things in advance, but it feels good and more helpful when we hear them through someone else in a better form. Today, one of my best friends told me something good, about which I had hardly thought earlier so deep. She said "A person always gives those things to others which he/she has in excess within him/her." At first, I didn’t exactly understand what she meant as there could be as many as possible explanations of it, but she cleared it further with a simple example. A person of high temperament always talks to others in an angry manner because he has anger in excess in his nature. Same holds with all other qualities of human nature like love, hatred, anger, fun, sorrow etc. People behave with others according to the abundance of good or bad qualities present in them. After that, I started relating this example with many other different categories of people I have come across and found it very true. A person who himself is always in a joyous mood and stays happy makes others happy and spreads smile across everywhere. A person who always seems to be frustrated with everything mostly speaks in a frustrating tone and sooner or later makes others feel frustrated. A person whose heart and soul is completely filled with love always showers love upon others even if he doesn’t get the same in response. A person who is never satisfied with anything in life has a tendency to always complain about other people or things frequently and as a result he will have a large number of people complaining against him. A person who is selfless at heart is always ready to help others and will also have many helping hands raised for him whenever he is in need of. A person who himself is self-motivated, motivates people around him directly or indirectly and inspires them to achieve their goals. A person who is optimistic lights the lamp of hope in low times, while on the other hand, a pessimistic person finds flaws in everything good happening around.
In short, people behave according to the quality of nature they have in excess within them and pass on the same thing to everyone they meet. This might seem a very simple thing to anyone, but its realization benefitted me with two things:
1. Whenever I will think "Why does this person behaves like this?" I will say to myself = "She/he has this quality in abundance within him". Earlier, I used to think that he/she behaves that way out of habit.
2. I will think more on which qualities do I need to inculcate within myself in excess and which ones should I remove. I do this till date, but it will be more easy and helpful now.
Very truly said Swati.....Self Realization is one important thing....Instead of pointing fingers or thinking negative about others one should look at his/her qualities first :)...Very inspirational one!!
