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...

Nice start.Keep writing!!
Hey Usha it is not just you that feels this way. Let me tell you one thing to cheer you up. It is a truth though. You become a good counsellor just because you being a cautious thinker tend to listen carefully and relate with past to chk out and mebbe subconciously give in solns that would be appropriate and correct. Regarding panicking while in deep trouble...Did you not hear "Perati mokka vaidyaniki paniki raadu" anthe a doctoraina tanaku tane vaidyam chesukoledu kada..anduke manaku friends ani parents ani partner ani(Mr.S garrani) ila kontha mandini icchadu...Sare kani naa comment mee post kante peddaga tayaravutondi gani..Chalo very nice and promising start...Keep it up...Keep going...MT
enti okka post tho saripettuskuntara...tondaraga inko post vastundani waiting
Usha garu! You should not read such stupid books written by more stupid people. Those books are for stupid persons!
And the advices we give to others and which we ourselves don't follow is because maybe it involves risk factor. Anyway, if you need advice because you are not able to follow your own, I am there :P
Though younger, I am wiser ;)
let me tell you from my observation, Personality books tell you that this is a good way. they know that you cant immediately start walking in that way (or will walk in that way anytime) but will definetly make you think and move towards a betterway.
and regarding the post, i see that u are talking about the decisions you make and the regrets that come after it. I feelthat this habit of regrets willl go away only if you are consious while making decisions. And firmly say to yourselves that you shall not regret on things that had already happened.
Read a good book on Reiki.
Nyway, all the above is jus my opinion
