My physics teacher always said, "Remember to make virtue of every evil."
No matter where we are stuck, No matter how much big the obstacle Is...remember to make virtue of every evil. So many times we are at crossroads in our life,unable to figure out which way should we choose.We are often depressed by things happening to us.But, we forget if we change our reactions to the things happening to us we may easily get through our difficult times.
Even if we are in most difficult situation and at that time we put our head in finding the virtue,we will have a positive mindset for overcoming the obstacle.If you are in grief find one reason to smile.If you are angry find one reason to stay calm.
Just one virtue of every evil because if we want ourselves to be happy and peaceful.We need to be an optimist.As this optimism will generate a positive energy in our souls.
I've tried it.At the end of every day sit alone for a while close your eyes and think about the best thing that happened to you.Some of us may find a good list,some may find one or two and in rare cases maybe none but then again think and find what was the best part of evil that happened to you because everything has a reason and usually good reason so put your brain in finding right things even on a wrong day.
To be honest I've been there cursing and blaming everything around.It just caused more pain and frustration.Being a pessimist leads you to a dark pit which will have no sunshine and you'll be suffocated.On the other hand optimism will lead you to sunlight and you'll feel happy.
Next time life slaps you with something or people with rude judgements just smile back.Never loose hope,Believe in yourself and if situation is hopeless and you helpless put all your efforts in...'MAKING VIRTUE OF EVERY EVIL.'
P.S-This is my first post and I would love to hear your suggestions and gladly accept remarks.Because I believe I'm naive in writing and I have to learn a lot :):)
