You aren’t the Centre of the World

You are just a little guy, but you can move mountains also.

Our minds are a highly important tool which serves are use as and when we put it to work. We often think that the mind is on it’s own and we cannot really control what we think. And that is so wrong. You can actually start by knowing that you aren’t the centre of the world.

Have you thought another person?

Think about it, when was the last time you thought genuinely about another person, their struggles, their sorrows, their flaws and their perfections. When did you think of another in a way that you sought so much to understand them by listening to them and responding when it is absolutely necessary? Even people who claim to be in relationships are often all about themselves. Baby, what are you getting for me on my birthday? We are concerned about our own happiness that we forget to stay off causing others sadness.

Are you a “me” or “us” person?

As much as your mind is in you and often think about you, if you stay in this state long enough, you become less of the person you could and are supposed to be. It takes away part of your humanity. You become a more ‘me’ person than an ‘us' person. It’s always about you. When you fail, the world failed you. If you are sad, the world is at fault. Literally any visible flaw in you becomes the fault of another. But yet the good things are always you. Things don’t happen to you. You aren’t the centre of the world. Chances are that, what you are going has been the experience of lots of other people. If you can afford 3 meals a day, a manageable bed or home, and a descent job, you are doing more than millions of people. Think about it! Are those people less or more fortunate than you? Some of the poorest people are the happiest of people. It doesn’t matter what you have in life but the quality of your living and it isn’t always about you. People who exhibit kindness are more likely to be happy and live a more fulfilling life even though they may not necessarily have a lot.

It takes heart

Begin to know that things don’t happen to you and you aren’t the centre of the world. If you die today, people will mourn and say how much they care for a few weeks and the world will move on. You only last when you make the your world all about others, lost in meaningful service. It takes more of heart and less of money and material stuff to do this. Start with what you have. Live for others.
