Day 50 - Celebrate... with a story!

We have successfully reached the 50th day of "Do Good Feel Good", and today is your day to celebrate!...

Go out and have fun, and do stay in touch for more!!

Today, I would also like to add a story that has taught me that heaven and hell depends on how you live your life... and that its your choice to make the world the way you like it... Its a mythical story... or you can call it fiction, but the message it says is truly an eye-opener...

In India, thousands of  years back, There was a Guruji, who possessed all kinds of wisdom, and one day his disciples asked him, what was heaven and hell like...

Being a magician himself, he agreed to take them to hell and heaven.. and the first stop was to hell. Hell was nothing like they imagined, it was a pretty good place, with everything normal... they had a common pool, a common dining place with all varieties of food and beautiful clothes everywhere... but the people looked messy, hungry and with worn out clothes... why?... because they did not have the elbow joint that we all have, so they can't feed or bathe or put on clothes as their hands are not flexible... and the Guruji took them to heaven..

Heaven, was the same place!... the same kind of common pool, common dining table with all varieties of food and beautiful clothes.... but to the surprise of the disciples,.. the people in heaven were well fed, neat, clean and properly clothed, even though they suffered with the same problem of not having the elbow...

The Disciples asked for the reason, to Guruji and he asked them to go look at the people in heaven... Though they did not have the capacity to feed themselves... they were able to feed each other... and bathe each other and clothe each other... they lived a happy life by serving each other and that was the difference between heaven and hell, as in hell, no one wanted to serve each other, though they were capable of it!..

I hope the story was Inspiring... Please do share with us such stories, and to comment, share and like in Facebook... log in @https://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-Good-Feel-Good/304619499562060..

Day 45 - Get to know!

Get to know more about the people who are with you. Try to know about something about them, good and precious and something that they would like share with you. All of us like to open up and feel free with our people. The reason they don't is, mostly, we are not interested about them or feel its not important. But, its good to give others a little priority. Be it your children, friend, colleague or neighbor. Ask them about their fond memories or their interests and get to know them more.

Make sure you are genuinely interested and don't judge or give them any advice. Just get to know. Its always good to know more about the people you live with.Who knows?, you might find someone really interesting or something that interests you...

Karma Points - 50 per person.

Tell me about your experiences on "Getting to know" someone.... Have a nice day!... :)

Day 42 - Resolve!

Resolve your petty problems, now!.... There are some very petty issues which stop us from being close to someone. We might have stopped talking with someone, for an issue which turns out to be of no big deal now. Forgive them, if it were their fault and forgive yourself first if the fault is yours by looking at yourself.

You might be missing the company of some very good people, because of the small misunderstanding. Take some time and resolve the problem for good. Don't get carried away with hatred or anger. The sole idea must be to resolve the problem and not grow it.

If they were your high school friends, or college friends, then give a call and inquire. If they work with you, or your neighbor, family members then talk to them in person. In the end, its the people you made happy that counts... its better to live with five good friends than fifty enemies...isn't it?

Karma points- 100 per petty issue solved.

Tell me about how you resolved any petty issues and how you felt about it... Have a nice day!

Day 40 - The Big Picture

This is something we all know and yet don't follow. On the 40th Day, I would like to remind you of the Big picture of life...

We do what we do for love and finally end up being blind of love. We hurt the ones who love us and get hurt by the ones we love, we cry for people who don't notice us and ignore the ones who would cry for us. Its with so much selfish intentions that we love, and we expect other to be selfless.

Its pretty simple... You reap what you sow. If you are caring for someone, you will surely be cared by someone too. That is how things work, call it Karma or Newtonian Theory. But, we fail to recognize this and grieve for loss and smear for profits, but in the end, all is pretty balanced.

The more care and love given out, the more we shall receive and to show it, we need some motivation. That, you will have to do daily, as a practice. Until, kindness, becomes your nature.
/
Ask these questions to yourself. Why do you work/ play/ buy/ learn/ read/ write/ workout/ earn/ socialize?... A part of it is to be noticed by others and to be offered love. According to Transactional Analysis, these are called "Strokes". A person wants strokes, to keep themselves sane. Thus we act well, and if we don't receive (good)strokes, we act bad, and if we still don't receive (bad)strokes, you fall into depression.

Thus, every unpleasant act by someone, is because of the lack of (good)strokes, and understanding this, you can give lots of such "good storkes" to people you know, keeping them sane and pleasant. If the benefits of it is understood properly, then the world might be more pleasant.

 I hope, the Big picture was "re-introduced" in this post to you... Please do give me your valuable feedback on this... Have a nice day!... :)
