“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external
conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.”
– Dale Carnegie
Things going a little too well in life, immediately awakens a new hell of a drama inside our heads. That awkward speech with friend went surprisingly well; the workload suddenly gets reduced or help from the team members in office; peace in the family; no trouble of constant inner battles; read an amazing book, and many other examples can be given for things or incidents that make us feel at ease in our heart. But, our twisted little devil of a mind starts playing naughty tricks on us.
‘Hmm… You seem innately happy. Well, that doesn’t sound at all like you. I’d better take control and make you feel like crap now, by making you to question everything that’s happening inside and around you. Let me scare you away from people and the life that you now think is going fine for you; and install that fear of the unknown which has no real reason to be afraid, just the gut instinct that says something really bad is on the way’. Of course, we all become prey to these fears and doubt at least a few times in our life.
For people who are introverted and more empathetic, this can be a living nightmare. It becomes impossible to throw away or even battle against these string of negative thoughts. But, never should we allow them to win over us, because, if won once, we are lost forever. They grab onto our weaknesses like the person to whom we are very close and attached or our passion and our job, etc. They then strangle us with questions and past
memories that are too painful and unbearable to face today.
Detached state of love is the easiest and best way of being at peace with ourselves and the outside world. Expectations never are helpful; they ruin every relationship known to mankind.
Love cannot be made into a trades good in a business, it is a feeling because of which every little thing on this planet is working. So, believe that good things can happen and it is okay to feel contented and happy with ourselves, our friends, and life.
