Happy new year----This is the phrase we say every year does it change our life?
Think different be different
What do we mean by the word “Happy”? Parting, enjoying, vacation, movies,etc but it’s all temporary. We all run whole day to earn money thinking it may bring happiness but it’s a misconception. Have several examples in which they are famous and had lot of money but they themselves admitted they weren’t happy.. It may bring you comforts but not happiness.
Ingradients of happiness may be
H- Health
A- Appreciation
P- Prayers & Perseverance
Y- Your attitude
Things which I am going to mention are not new but still forgotten so just as a reminder call I am here with the new idea to celebrate New Year.
Every year people make new resolutions but u all may agree most of them don’t work.
If you want this New Year make others happy, no need to make the world happy make close once happy and you will see a happy world.
The first ingredient I said is health chose a healthy life style. Here I don’t want to say more as there are plenty of people who can guide you better.
2nd is appreciation everyone in this world is working hard to be appreciated either it may be husband to wife or kids to parents or employs to boss.
First I want to ask the smart parents as it’s the world of smart phones do you give same time to your child as you give to your phone or husbands to wife and visa versa?
Sadly answer may be NO
We live in a world where we are connected to person miles away from us but a person sitting next to us we hardly talk. So my suggestion would be first give importance to your family then the fantasy world of cell phones. Give time to loved ones at home they want it more than others.
3rd is Prayer and Perseverance ----A family who prayers together stays together. All family members try n find out 10-15 minutes daily sit together and pray. Discuss about school, collage, work and religious aspects this will bring closeness to each other n make your kids be proud of their religion.
Let go and forgive each other with a big heart if you want your family to be united. It’s not 1 day job so here perseverance is important.
Last but not the least is Attitude. Your attitude will define you. There are lots of things said on attitude so here I would just say have positive attitude in your close circle at least. Leave the grudges and prejudices’ and forgive each other as children learn from our actions more than our preaching’s. To parents I would say specifically to husbands please love your wife most and show your child that you love her and respect her , your child will automatically learn to love n respect.
Another thing I would say is don’t pull on an argument just leave it. See if you are right, then there is no need for argument and if you are wrong you have no right to argue. Here I remember William James says “Most important discovery of our century is that you can change your life with your attitude”.
Develop a positive atmosphere at home which increases self confidence in your family and by default it increases chances of success in life. Have an attitude of gratitude and giving back to society. My guru Pramukh Swami Maharaj always used to say “Bija Na Bhala Mai Apdu Bhalu” it means do good to others and goodness will come to you. Serve others and be kind even if they cannot give you back.
Friends my only intension to write this was a hope that it may bring some change in your life and even if I can help a single family or a child it would be worth it.
