Staying Positive

Staying Positive

Everyone of us.... every day deal with one or the other kind of stress. now-a-days it is not  only grown ups have stress, but  kids too have to face it. There are a lot of pressures that each one of us to face each day.  It can be at workplace, school, college or even at home. There can be parents' pressure, boss's pressure, peer pressure, sibling's pressure. Be it anyone or anywhere... you name it... we all have to deal with it.

The pressure is always on. most of us on the burner most of the time. The root cause of this leads to the fact that everyone wants to do better than their colleagues, friends, batch-mates, teachers, co-workers, partners, sisters , brothers, even neighbors or friend's son or daughter. You name it, it will be there. Everyone in unhappy with whatever is going around.. some may have a  bad day at office, some have problem with their bosses, other are not in good terms with their sub-ordinates.

 It is not necessary that  only work places are overflowing with stressful things. Our own so called 'happy abodes' can be full of pressures. An absent maid is enough to give the lady of the house a heart attack if she is a working woman. everyone in the house is in a hurry to reach somewhere... office, school, college, or even market. To do chores in time, keeps everyone on tenterhooks. A husband can be at war with his wife for n number of reasons. Same can be said about the wife too. Kids too have to balance their lives at school, college, home and even at play grounds. Be it elders or kids, young or old, rich or poor, employer or the employee..all of us fighting and facing challenges of life.

In the long run, this stress can prove to be the biggest villain of our lives. It can lead to many kinds of physical as well as mental illnesses. It becomes a vicious circle as stress lead to illness and in turn illness cause more stress. It keeps on going. 

Most of want to change present situations but don't know the way out. We all prove to the Abhimanyus, who enter the vicious circle but cannot find their way out first step towards. One thing is for sure that if we want to bring changes in present situations, then we will have to bring the change in the situation. It is because if we are happy with the present situation, we don't want to change it. We want some alteration only when we are choked with whatever is going in and around us. For that we need to identify the cause of pain. Some times it is seen that the actual situation is not that bad, as we project to others or even to ourselves. So we need to come out of the closets, set of minds free from all the previous notions that we have in our minds. Free our minds from all the fears that we may face actually in our lives. Mostly our fears never get materialize,  but we live our whole lives under their shadow. As most of times nothing of the sort happens. our lives become what we wish for. If we wish misery in our lives, we will surely make it miserable, and on the other hand we can lookout for small details which can illuminate our lives. 
So it is in our hands what type of life we lead. We can always choose to be happy or to be sad. But on the other note, life does not, I repeat, does not always give us choices. We have to take what is being offered to us. In that case we have to make lemonade out of the lemons that life have given us. Go ahead in life with all the positivity that you can generate within yourself. It is not something which cannot be done by all. We all are capable of doing so. The only problem is we never try. So, now lets give our lives second shot and begin to weave the life with new zeal and enthusiasm, with full throttle on positive thoughts and deeds.
