Monday Motivation….. May 13, 2024 (694)
Once upon a time, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady at the Restaurant.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic-stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but …it landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Watching the amusement, few thoughts started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?
He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.
It is not the shouting of your father or boss or wife that disturbs you, but it’s your inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs you.
It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs, but your inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs You.
More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in any one’s life.
Moral:
You should not react in life rather you should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of. A beautiful way to understand LIFE.
The HAPPY person is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life.
He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right!
Have a great week ahead..!
