I was reading a self-help book today.
The book talked about various centres of life. These are the points around which we build our lives and these are the benchmarks according which we determine our reactions, consciously or sub-consciously. He had definitely had a point there when he broadly categorized the centers as spouse, family, money, work, possession, pleasure, friends, enemies, etc. The worst part was that I could identify with one of these centred lives. I found that I have actually built my life around one person. An enemy. I call the worst part because in my previous post, I had mentioned my enemy. What a coincidence!!!
But, there is a good side to everything. A diagnosis of a problem helps find its remedy. I have found the remedy. Our lives should be built around strong principles, which don't change easily. I will be preparing a mission statement soon which will help me make the right decisions in difficult times.

ReplyDeleteLife centered around enemy is life on wrong path, efforts on negative direction but its a comman disease and so many of us actually dont do the things to pleasure ourself but to make our enemy unhappy. It's a choice again, ur happiness or others sorrow. Interesting post !
ReplyDeleteThe 'enemy' can not be as important so as to get a couple of posts and even this much of your attention.
