“When you
live on a round planet, there’s no choosing sides.” ~Wayne Dyer
Our earth is
round so you can’t find any side , our earth indirectly telling us we all are
belongs to each other . May be question arise in your mind- How ? Make a circle
& take it as your earth – u are standing in one place, mark that place
& start running finally u find yourself at the same position when your
cover the whole area of a circle .
sadly now
also people all over the world are still taking sides , it’s kind of our
foolishness or lack of knowledge , what ever you can say ? They seek to
identify with one “side” or another (tribe, culture, religion, politics,
nationality). They seek to belong by being distinct from others.
They seek
to belong by hating the other side, sometimes by killing the other side.
sometimes
our thought & some traditional rules force us to believe that we all are
differ , but in a true sense of belonging, a real sense of connection. We are
already connected; we are already one. We are all just individual expressions
of the same universal energy.
so to make
our earth a united we need to work out how to stay united , connected
in our diversity, rather than divided by our differences. When we realize that we are all
connected, across languages, cultures, countries, and beliefs, you realize that
the unconditional love; it does not bind or shackle, but unites us all in a
circle of love. Belonging comes through empathy, compassion, non-judgment,
and mostly through love.
“Don’t wait
for people to be friendly. Show them how.” ~Unknown
sometimes we don’t have to wait for
others as they will come to us to make friendship , sometimes our small step
can give us big result in our future life - but for this we have to dare
to take that small step . don’t fear anyone , concentrate on your work only .
Sometimes I
stop to think about how in the world I ended up where I have. I started off
with very little, and somehow along the way I have ended up generally happy and
on my own two feet.
For a long
time through my rough days, I held a sort of grudge against the rest of the
world. I had convinced myself that everyone was only looking out for
themselves, and I had lost faith in the idea that people were mostly good.
Where was
that feeling of community? Or helping out your neighbors? What about equality
and accepting others’ differences? The world felt large, dark, and lonely. I
felt very let down.
For these
reasons I felt it’s better to change myself but there also one fear with in me
– “whether my change personality suitable for everyone or not “– so I decided
I’ll open myself to the idea that maybe not all people were selfish and maybe
they were all, in fact, just like me: feeling alone, caught up and looking
desperately for that one person to prove them wrong.
It took a
while and a lot of courage, but I began to step outside my comfort
zone and behave how I always wished others would. I spoke to strangers ,I
listened to their stories, even if they didn’t give me a chance to respond.
I have
stopped to check on strangers who looked unwell, offered directions when
someone looked lost, given advice, returned and watched strangers’ belongings
.So these small steps in my life helped me a lot to make some friendship with
some stranger whom I meet in train or any party or anywhere else. I felt that
some people still exist who need us & all are not rude or rough.
It’s not so
difficult task , I feel we can do . but for this we have to start our day
“Have a good day on purpose.” On purpose - Acting with goodness will bring
goodness. Each day you wake up, you have a choice to make. You can either go on
through your day, your routines, as you always do, or you can choose to broaden
your world.
Opening
myself up to these so-called strangers with a positive point of view, open
mind, and a helping hand has changed my perspective on life a trillion times
over. So rather
than waiting for and expecting others to prove me wrong, I began to take
initiative and found that what I was looking for all along was always there. I
just needed to pull myself out from the negative space I was in in
order to see it. I have seen the good come back around to me in so many ways.
Making the
first move to talk to or help a stranger can be difficult at first, and I will
be the first to admit that it won’t always be received how you expect.
Making the
first move to talk to or help a stranger can be difficult at first, and I will
be the first to admit that it won’t always be received how you expect. Start with by smiling, holding the
door open, offering a genuine compliment, or cracking a joke in passing.
The
experience is some as, sadly, kindness is not an action most expect.
Just know that no matter what the outcome, you have done something to trigger a
positive thought and perhaps make a difference in that person. All of a sudden,
I realized I didn’t feel so alone. I felt a deeper understanding and connection
to those around me.
All of a
sudden I felt - the world is not so large, dark, void, and scary
PS - I
WANNA GIVE A BIG THANKS TO INTERNET - AS FOR THIS IT'S EASY FOR US TO
COMMUNICATE WITH WHOLE WORLD & SHARE OUR COMMON HUMANITY , OTHERWISE
IT WILL BE VERY HARD TO TAKE EVERYONE AS ONE & BEHAVE FRIENDLY WITH
OTHERS .
