Ego v/s Self Esteem

Why does it hurt so much when someone close to you behaves in an undesired manner?
We never expect our loved ones and friends to behave rudely.
We have a limited comfort level with others, but we share the most memorable time with people close to us and when they change their attitude it hurts; it really hurts a lot.

Well, when I open the horizons of my mind and start thinking about it I feel that it is our ego that gets a hurt.
Over a period of time we tend to take things for granted; we take people for granted.
We exhibit our emotions in a negative way without even realizing it as we have taken people for granted.

Always remember, there is a human being on the other side and he thinks differently.
That's the reason we are being taught to respect everyone from childhood.
Respect builds up self esteem and one who has a self esteem never feels like he is hurt by someone.

Self esteem does not stop you from approaching people to say sorry for your mistakes; neither will it stop you from making others understand the wrong on their part.

Every time I feel hurt, I realize that I am egoist and I need to improve.
I feel that we should take this in a positive spirit rather than spending our precious time thinking Why me.
Nobody can hurt you; it's your ego that hurts you.

Kill your ego and build up your self esteem which portrays your good inner and outer self.


" Count each day as a separate Life."

Two Days We Should Not Worry

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time !

Make A Difference

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

If each grain of sand were to say:
One grain does not make a mountain,
There would be no land.

If each drop of water were to say:
One drop does not make an ocean,
There would be no sea.

If each note of music were to say:
Each note does not make a symphony,
There would be no melody.

If each word were to say:
One word does not make a library,
There would be no book.

If each brick were to say:
One brick does not make a wall,
There would be no house.

If each seed were to say:
One seed does not make a field,
There would be no harvest.

If each of us were to say:
One person does not make the difference,
There would never be loveand peace on earth.
You and I do make the difference,
Begin today and make the difference.
