Attitudes – decides our Mental Health.

We should live like monks:free from the shekels of life, and perform our responsibilities of life with diligence.

The Sun rises showering its light dispensing all darkness and disappears in the evening on its own accord. And the birds sing in different tunes adding mirth to the daybreak. The green grass bows down from the weight of dewdrops as if to obey its creator with all its humility.

All activities begin and end. Nature is in silent mode standing and performing its duty without being self-complacent.

It’s the human kind who seems to have labeled for itself, claiming superiority, taking credit for inventions and discoveries. Declaring in one voice that he is endowed with higher intelligence. Harboring attitudes and carry the burden of the ego. Denigrating himself by his practices and desecrating his own life.

Attitude is detrimental and is destructive. The moment we look at others we form opinions and underestimate their value or give credit instantly.We do not understand that with our limited knowledge we pass judgments on others.This is a universal practice. We do it for others and others do it for us. We are in fact divided against each other. Thus we play games with each other. We lead a life biased of each other and in the process loose our peace of mind.Many times we do this mischief for security. Pick on our superiors in working conditions, they could be employers, or in private life with our spouses. But the strategy is to get along with people. And we do it by perfecting the art of cheating to live and let live.

Personal Conscience and approach in human interactions need to be very clear as the crystal, modest and sincere. Reason being that our mind rules our actions. Even at times the inner conscience betrays our facial look, expressions and our body language. If the approach is deceptive the results will be negative.

Let us try to know what mind games we play with ourselves and with others and analyze it. Most of the time,we hurt other people, make them unhappy, and cry for their blood. Our frustrations and disappointments are leveled at others causing damage disturbing their mental state. We generally pass on our poor mental health in a contagious way to make others unhappy. This psychological burden we carry with us is enormous and huge.

Unflinchingly, depriving others of their share of happiness. And by imposing our own restless disposition on others, we do not qualify to be in society if we do not correct ourselves. If circumstances forbid us not to function at our desired level, we need to understand our predicament by careful evaluation and judgment and should not get hurt.

Attitudinal problems are another issue, we try real hard in imposing our attitudes on others and if expected results do not turn up, we are disappointed.

Efforts to make others think like we do, expect them to speak like we desire, and influence others to function like we perform is all the ball game we indulge, in everyday life.

Whatever we conceive and interpret thoughts; there is no substitute to uprightness of character. Character is destiny. Our finest qualities may be acquired by watching Children. Children are innocent, Unconditional and forerunners of simplicity and truth. They are very down to earth and show the world awell-grounded morality. Adults on the other hand are so much exposed and cautious of what they want in life, they are a bundle of complexity.

Through right attitude and efforts one can overcome anything. The way we see things and perceive we become successful. Sometimes we develop mental blocks and close our prospects. Coming out we can loosen threads to our problems. Mental blocks are such that, sometimes even if we realize that our approach is not forthcoming we continue to go with it, wasting our time and energy. Working with it as if some miracles could happen. When you can snap out of the syndrome we see the light. I n doing business, it is necessary to exit if the project meets with needless delay and is nowhere near success. Attitudes to be disowned if it is not favoring us in the first instance.

A person who is amenable to change, in ideologies and even contemplate changing can truly overcome any mishap. Intelligent beings should never have closed mind.

But, Changing quite frequently could also turn out to be a point of weakness.

The ability to adapt to new circumstance and times is not merely an act of compromise but is an act of assertive intelligence.

How to avoid being misunderstood? Avoid being a victim of gossip, and face alienation.

Restraint – is the solution. Control in speech, to avoid over hearing,and focus what you see, unable to compromise self, and shifting outlets and shelter for comfort from one place to another will leave a person restless and unhappy. It is here in this existence alone that we need to correct ourselves,make our lives sublime. Share what we can and liberally give out love and affections. Discard prejudices and ill will, to realize that there is great joy and happiness in being with people. Cheering up those who are depressed and sad. Wiping tears off from a child’s face. Showing people that there is nothing lost in their lives. Helping them to stand up again.

The amount of time we spend in exhibiting our follies and weakness, disarming other people and making them feel dissolute and if at all only a quarter of that time is well spent on treating them good, we could perhaps enliven a whole populace.

Whatever material wealth we have acquired and possess and whatever achievements we have on our credits let it not render us as special human beings. For the very specialty we have come to be, more humane character attributes need to govern us. Ability to help the lower strata of society and to contribute what we can spare for the downtrodden would positively make usricher in all aspects.

Respect for other fellow beings, love and sympathetic understanding of another mans thinking, tolerance and good temper, impartial disposition and concern for their anxieties and apprehensions in a truly humane way will be more than adequate to counter balance any point of inadequacy in our mental make up. One can retain original thoughts without hurting others opinion,without subscribing.

Understanding the nature of the unpleasant disposition and its origin is foremost, by introspection and evaluation one can think better, hear better,and communicate better. If the good is nourished and protected, the very spirit of goodness will protect us from evil.

To posses a sound personality it is required to gradually distance the Self. Think more of the plight of another human being. If you alienate your friends and relatives do not share your feelings and partake what you can in totality you can never enjoy and what is all he attached to it. For every good has as its own good and every bad act has its own evil. This is exactly what we get in accordance to what we give, this is balanced equally in life and one can foretell the events that accompanies. Nature commands what is justifiable and what we are looking for in life. Human life is very unpredictable,unprecedented and unacceptable at times of personal tragedy and misfortune. One need to practice total detachment on material things, sentiments and emotions and commit towards life of sublime thoughts and gain momentum for peace and tranquility.

We must develop a kind heart towards the less privileged and do ourbest. Give whatever we can and support them. To possess material wealth more than what you require and to lead a selfish life is unpardonable. It is against any morals and defies the human approach.

There is something beyond acquisition of wealth and leading a life ofcomfort .one does not look for problems coming from excess comfort and which poses problems. If you understand closely the problems rising from this condition, it is more perilous than problems arising from the- ‘have not’ situation. Sound attitude is required for happy life.

We can lessen our burden far beyond the scope of virtual suffering, and come out un- scathed, with out any injury.

The underlying Factors that trigger an individual to condition his mind with varied attitudinal behavior may be traced to a fear complex deep-seated in his personality.

The fear of losing something that he treasures most and do not want to lose. The strong adherence to something very precious causes anxiety, and self-denial. The mind becomes a closed abode, not perceiving and not accepting.When this fear is taken off, the mind becomes free and susceptible to new thought and steps into a reawakening state of being.

Attitude is more of a self-imposed syndrome rather than being under the influence any of the external factors. This is more often an internal turmoil and this need to be corrected, without subjecting oneself to confusion andself-persecution.

The fear of the known and the unknown both originates as a result of not being confident

About self and not risking change for the better. Pseudo internal security forbids all positive standing in life. Stunting growth and living, succumbing to a state of oblivion.

Which benefits neither the possessed human being nor it helps the other. It would be impossible to interact with a person who has fallen prey to a condition state of mind and also resist to new thought process. They come under the dictation of their own fragile mind and reject any constructive suggestions and interactions.
