Be Happy !!! all is well - 1

Every body says I am OK but R we !! Often we are distracted or disturbed when we find a compatriot being appreciated or liked. More so, when the target audience is common. In such case just remind yourself (it is, like an "all is well" statement) -

"If someone is good then it doesn't mean that i am bad or worse". Hence, be comfortable with yourself.

Off course, I don't mean that you have no scope for improvement. On the contrary just be happy. And indulge, rather engross yourself with activities (as per the following order) -

  1. what you are good at,
  2. what is necessary,
  3. what you can do
  4. and, what is desired

And soon you shall see, you are accomplishing the impossible. Needless to say appreciation will follow - it's like what you sow so shall you reap".

As a corollary may I add that - "Every body has something good and bad about themselves. Yet we have the choice - what we want to focus upon"

  1. the good in us
  2. the good in others
  3. the bad in us
  4. the bad in others

think over !!! but for your own sake always be happy
