Well said, "No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse."
There comes a time in every person's life when you are alone and depressed. It seems the world is against you, and you do not know how to handle it.
Well, in that case, everything depends upon your thoughts whether you want to make things worse or better.
A beautiful story by Sadhguru that touched my heart and is a must-read for everyone facing some issues in their lives
An Indian man got married to a French lady. The thing went well, and soon it was their 1st anniversary. The lady invited many friends and asked her husband to help him buy some fresh veggies, meat, and stuff to cook everything fresh.
When they were heading home after shopping, she asked her husband to go to the beach n catch some snails for a French appetizer. Her husband went and started collecting the snails in a bucket.
Suddenly, one of his old mates appeared somewhere, and a long tale of old memories started. The husband forgets that it's his anniversary and went to a bar with his old friend. They chit-chatted and drank. The two buddies lost into their old times.
Soon the clock struck ten, and a snail crawled up from the bucket to the table. The husband came back in the present and realized that it was too late. He got worried.
Then he had an idea!
He went home, spread all the snails in front of his house, and threw away the bucket. Then he knocked at the door.
His wife opened the door with a red face.
He turned around and said to snails,' Come on, you guys! You are already there. Let's go!.
Wasn't that a great idea?
The man used his brain and make the situation under control. Imagine if he would not be got this idea. An undeniable fight was sure to happen. Likewise, you can also control the weight of the burden by using small ideas.
So when are you going to pick your snails, throw them out from the bucket called brain and fix them.??
Do you know we have been blessed with two faculties?
1. A vivid sense of Memory that makes sour life rich.
2. We have a fantastic sense of imagination. You keep the things in your mind; you will suffer for what you bore ten years ago.
An incident that happened ten years before has still occupied our minds making our Memory ruined.
The thought of what can happen tomorrow is ruining our imagination.
This way, you always try to ruin both.
You are suffering your intelligence. Remember, you have been blessed with a most complex machine, and you dint even bother to read the user manual. You want to blunder around.
Why load yourself with bags of burden?
The problem with life is most human beings have taken their life too seriously.
Why do we forget that we came empty-handed and there is no container service after death?
So why carry the burden of jealousy, depression, sadness on your heads? It makes life heavier to live.
If you have faced or facing such things in your life, always remember,
This shall pass soon.
Nothing is permanent. Your problems will get resolved sooner. It's just you need to keep trying.
Be positive. Make your life lighter, and throw away all the burdens you had in your head.
Many issues will come into your life. More problem means you are living an active life.
Always remember- in your life, you are not an issue. Life isn't permanent; everything changes.
Chill and enjoy.
