LEARN TO SEE GOOD IN EVERYTHING

In life we have two sides of each situation. Good side and a bad side. Over the period of time, we have been trained to see one of them more often. This happens naturally in our mind. First of all, we need to identify how our mind is trained over the years. Does it see good side more often or bad side. I will share a quick hack to identify the pattern your mind follows. Just read the story and answer few questions which will help to identify your mind’s pattern.

There was a girl who was very passionate about her studies and had a dream of scoring highest rank in the College while she was in her 12th Grade board exams. She used to put in more than hundred percent of efforts in studying and had a dream. She avoided to socialise for a year and aimed for her ultimate target. After the year end, the exams were over and the results were out. She did score very well in her exams and got second rank in the college. Now answer following questions.

What was your first reaction on this situation?

After giving a second thought, what do you think about this situation?

Finally, how would you like to conclude about the situation?

The answers you dwelled upon give you the pattern your mind follows in any situation which doesn’t give the expected results. Yes, the disappointment would be there for not achieving your desired outcome and you will feel bad about it but how would you turn this situation from bad to good is the question.

The answer is to see the flip side of the situation and analyse what was good about it. You can do so by seeking answer of the following question.

If there was something good about this experience which made you a stronger person, what would it be?

Think of some situation in life which disappointed you and how did you overcome it eventually. Are you still stuck there? Did you learn from the situation and implement your learning and take this situation as a learning phase of your life?

Whenever we feel low, disappointed about anything, think for a moment and answer this question, what did I learn from it? Will it still impact me the same way after 5 years? This will help you see the good side of the situation.
