When I was younger I have
always been harsh with my words. I have hurt many people along the way, tarnished
relationships, and probably shoo away people. I don’t care if people get hurt with my words
as long as they have a piece of my mind and I tell the truth.
I came to the point that I saw myself as an arrogant person. Of course, motherhood made me more humane, made me a more sensitive person. It taught me to resolve conflicts with my daughter with the thought that she will sooner or later learn to become a righteous person. 10 years ago I made a choice, that I will use my words to give hope, to encourage, to make people happy and even express love to that person.
When I train people, I have to radiate positiveness, promote motivate and instill light in their hearts. My heart smiles when I hear/read them/notes thanking me, that my talk came at the right moment, or my email/SMS was encouraging. I have been doing that for a decade now. Like I wrote, I made that choice and been practicing it since then. I have always tried to be positive in everything, because there will always be a silver lining in every storm. Bad situations won't last anyways. I trained myself that happiness comes from within and nobody can take it away from you, unless you let it.
Of course, there were times that I feel down, I feel demotivated and I feel helpless. I would surround myself with positive people and talk to my mentors, who protect and guard the candles of happiness in my heart.
I would talk to my mom, siblings, my trusted friends, business and spiritual mentors, I even asked them to pray for me and what I am undergoing to. For me, prayer is one of the intangible gifts a person can give me aside from their time. I also read books whenever I feel sad. I feel my emotions but I get over it too. Don't dwell on the setbacks of life. Bad things build one's character.
I encourage you to be that someone, a member in your family to cheers everybody up, a friend in your circle of friends that make them laugh and encourage them when their spirits are down, a colleague in your offices that creates a happy working atmosphere, a leader that leads his team to reach excellence and be that person that when they are with you, they have a better perspective in their lives.
The world is full of hate, pride, envy and indifference. Let us make our world a better place to live on. I know it sounds ''too Ms. Congeniality''. But the tweeter/ facebook/ instragram world is fool of haters, and it was not the main reason why they were made, it was made to connect with friends, rekindle relationships and not make conflicts.
We all have in us our own way of making people happy. It starts with your own happiness. Share it. Spread it. It comes back to you thousandfold after all it pays sometimes to be kind and nice. So be that someone!
Have nice weekend everyone.
