BE MINDFUL YOUR WORDS.

Once an old man spread rumours that his neighbour was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After being released he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him.

In the court the old man told the Judge: "They were just comments, didn't harm anyone." The judge told the old man: "Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence." Next day, the judge told the old man: "Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday."

The old man said: "I can't do that! The wind spread them and I won't know where to find them." The judge then replied: "The same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can't speak well of someone, rather don't say anything."
"Let's all be masters of our mouths, so that we won't be slaves of our words."

I value you.

The Way Out of My Bad Habits...

Dearie,

You see, I'm not perfect.

I admit my bad habits. 

I am aware of them and constantly remind myself not to succumb to them.

1. Being late
I tend to be late quite often last time. How do I avoid this? I leave my place a bit earlier. It is better to reach the place earlier than late. Then I won't get sweaty or feel stressed too. Respect people's time and others will respect ours. 

2. Worrying too much
I used to think about what others might think of me. I was worried when I took up a new position and while learning new skills. When I got any negative feedback, I questioned my ability. But now I record my achievements. Whenever I doubt myself, I remind myself of the good things that have happened. I also think,"There are people who succeed at this. As long as I put in all my effort to learn, I will succeed. " I always tell myself to be bolder now. 

3. Being messy
My room used to be in a mess. Ever since I shifted to my new place, the place is neater and I spend less time searching for things and feel more relaxed. Keeping our place clean allows us to free up mental space, becoming more creative for wonderful ideas. An idea can boost our productivity, help us earn more or bring more happiness into our lives. 

Do you see how changing bad habits can have far-reaching effects?

Be aware of your negative habits and replace them with empowering ones.

A Haircut

Dearie,

You may be asking...What's so special about "a haircut"?

I have decided to cut my hair short. Not too short but at least so that I won't feel too warm here. 

The hairdresser asked me which type of hairstyle I want. I just told him I wanted it short and that I did not want the bottom part to be messy. 

He told me there is a trend nowadays to cut straight below and that they needed my type of wavy hair. 

I was thinking...You mean, there is some purpose for my wavy hair! I thought it was something troublesome all along! 

You see, the message is that some things we find troublesome can be useful too. 

For example, an introvert may hope that he or she is an extrovert. But being an introvert has its advantages too. An introvert can be a good listener and can be creative.

So, learn how to think from different angles... especially to help you achieve what you want in life.

You are unique :) 

Many things are the way it is because of the way we think about it.
