Put the glass down

Once a professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see and asked the students, “how much do you think this glass weighs? ’50gms!’?…’100gms…’125gms’….

The students answered, “I really don’t know unless I weigh it.”

The professor said, ‘now, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?’

‘Nothing’ the students said.

“OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?” the professor asked.

“Your arm would begin to ache” said one of the students.

“You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”

“Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis; have to go to hospital for sure! Ventured another student”, all the students laughed.

“Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” Asked the professor.

“No” was the reply of all the students.

“Then what caused the arm to ache; the muscle to stress?” After a pause the professor asked “Before my arm ache, what should I do?”

The students were puzzled.

“Put the glass down!” said one of the students.

“Exactly!” said the professor, “Life’s problems are exactly like this. Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK. Think of them for a long time; they begin to ache. Hold it even longer; they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.”

It’s important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to ‘put them down’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh; strong; can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

Remember to put the glass down everyday!

Show Your Emotions - Do not Hide

Does explaining things to others irritate you...?

 

When someone asks - 

what you were doing this long?

Where were you? Why didn’t you talk to me? Why you didn’t pick up the phone? Who is your friend? What is your relation? Are you avoiding me or are you really busy?

Irritating right... but why and who asks you all these?

Only someone who thinks they have the right to do.. right to ask you things..

Who gave them those rights?

If its your parents - you don’t have to give them, the right is there since your birth

If its your friends - you gave them the right, yes you did, may be you didn’t put the line where you should have put... you can do it still

If its your spouse/lover - Yes he or she needs to worry about those things, don’t they...

All these people have one thing in common -

they care for you, they need you, they think you as their dearest, you are the world to them.

People pester and keep asking repeatedly because you don’t give them the right answers...

There are two answers that can temporarily/permanently shut them up

Ø      Shut the F*ck up, its my life and I will live the way I want it to, I dont want to explain anything to anyone

Ø      Hear them, think for them, think for a minute why they are asking this and think from their side answer with the love and care they show to you.. 

I said temporarily because, those genuine souls will keep coming back to you no matter how harsh you treat them, but once you loose them then nothing in the world can fill the vacuum

When you live, be sure to show your emotions, do not hide them – 

Show them all -

Fear, joy, love, sadness, surprise, anger, anxiety, apprehension, uneasiness, Worry, amusement, Ecstasy, bliss, elation, delight, excitement, thrill, fondness, attraction, adoration, sentimentality, caring, Arousal, desire, passion, infatuation, obsession, depression, unhappiness, insecurity, alienation, homesickness, embarrassment, humiliation, agitation, aggravation.

Do not hide them for anything or anyone. But be sure you show the right emotions at the right time to the right person. Just try living it this way and you will notice the difference show what goes through your mind, you will realize the change you will realize the change inside and around you.

Its from these emotions people understand who you really are, No one will go in try to dig in to your mind and soul to find how good you are inside, its what you show outside decides who you are inside.

Lets face it "Humans are emotional animals."

People need caring, love, pampering and teasing.

No one in this fast paced world is going to come around and ask you if you need love and caring, other than those who know you and those who care you.

But for others you have to show it out to others through your emotions what you need.

Problem with most of us is that we are shy to say “I need a hug”

.

We tend to show off that we are all sons and daughters of Hercules the strong who doesn’t care the world and are brave to fight a lion, but even Hercules needed love and caring.

When there are people around us to give what we want, what we need to do is just put the hands forward and accept it. But we ignore them and take them for granted. 

Keep Relations, Show Emotions
