Preaching Vs Practising
How many times have you come across people who keep advicing you when you are neck-deep in some problem?
Why point out somebody else?I have always ben a very good counsellor to others but when it comes to me,somehow all the nice words I preach people vanish and run away out of my mind..
When my friend keeps sulking over something,I tell him/her it is no use to drool over the past and we must move ahead with the 'present'.
Alas!!I can never think the same..Indeed I do try to stay brave and greatly optimistic..but sooner or later the gloomy clouds come rushing into my heart and I start feeling bad for doing this or that ..so much powerful is my memory(at such times) that I accuse myself for doing something 10 years ago too ..
Is this the problem only with me???
I realise that the root cause of all this seems to be .."I think a lot..."
Whenever I face a problem,my mind starts switching back and tells me....look this is what happened when you did this..and this is what happened when you did that...
Ive read in some personality development book that we need to throw away all such bad memories and remember only the pleasant happenings in life..
Now this is difficult for me again..when I remember I do the entire bunch of it and the major part of it seems to be the negative thoughts..
Now ..I seem to be confusing you people along with me..
I'll stop this here and think over a solution and yeah sure will let you people know if I do find any...
