The Balance Sheet
It does not take one long to realize that our existence is a no profit-no loss exercise. What leaves you shall return to you in some form or the other.
The other day I made a solemn vow that I shall not make sarcastic or critical remarks about anybody... either colleagues,friends or relatives. I found that once I had made this resolve there was a sudden spate of criticisms and sarcasms directed at me , in person and also behind my back. It made me reflect and I came to the following conclusions :
1) Whenever you make a resolve your mind also gets programmed subconsciously. You become aware of the subject of your resolve and in your daily quota of human interactions you are tuning in to related situations that enable you to test your inner strength and tenacity. At the same time you also find that you will be facing numerous situations that shall force you to act contrary to your resolve. What must be noted is that you have faced these situations before, it is only because your subconscious has changed that you have become aware of the existence of these situations.
Example : You have taken a resolve not to mock any of your colleagues. You suddenly find that you have become the butt of an increasing number of jokes. If your were to reflect on the situation you shall find that you have always been the butt of many jokes... it is only because you want to renounce these habits you find that a deluge of such occurences... Now this awareness can elucidate two responses -- i) You fall back into your bad habits since you want to avenge these insults or ii) You become mentally stronger and are finally able to break free ....
2) To move onto the path to betterment, nature make sure that you bear the fruit of all your actions , good or bad, that had their origins in that habit. Once these are exhausted only then can you move on. This is a difficult period for any human being and most of us are not able to cross this stage.
To move on in life, it is important to look at your balance sheet. That's life for you my friends....
