Last weekend Tina was visiting her Mom. While she was there Tina’s Mom got a call from her 24 hour house help (who was on leave that day), mentioning that she had to attend to something urgent and she would only be able to return by late that evening. Tina’s Mom acknowledged and they started talking other things. Later that evening, while Tina was about to leave, her Mom’s house help called again….Tina picked up the phone….they spoke and Tina explained the inconvenience to her Mom if the house help did not return in the night. After discussions, it was aligned that the house help would return latest by 1000 hrs. the next morning. Tina told the house help to ensure her return.

Next morning Tina was in the gym working out when she got a voice message from her Mom’s house help….. she was in the middle of session, so could not open the message but her mind started wandering. What thoughts do you think would have crossed her mind??

Again another excuse for not coming
What is it now
She said she would come back, now why is she sending message
Mom will be in so much trouble without her help

So many thoughts crossed her mind and I am sure, similar ones crossed your mind too, isn’t it?

Let me tell you, when Tina listened to the message, you will be surprised to know that it was: “I have reached” 🙂

If you notice above thoughts, there was not a single positive thought that crossed Tina’s mind as well as yours while analysing this situation!

Tina was so worried till she heard the message but not even once did she anticipate that may be this could be a positive message. Do you relate to what I am trying to convey here!

We do the same things again and again in our lives, we guess the worst scenario and start living it, irrespective of whether it is true or not and then our thoughts just take over our entire ecosystem because we then start judging other things too based on our current mindset. Do you agree?

To conclude: Next time my friend, please give yourself and various situations that you are in a little benefit of the doubt and don’t over analyse….learn to be more forgiving, more receiving and less judgemental of people and situations. This way, you will be less worried and more happy and it costs nothing.
