How one reacts to a situation determines the outcome of the situation...
How one perceives a situation determines the manner in which one perceives the result... and thats the manner in which one begins to act to achieve that result.
How did i learn this?
Well my vehicle broke down this morning.. at a time when it was drizzling, i was packed in my raincoat, with a woollen scarf beneath a helmet, with a laptop bag and my usual big school bag, all in addition to a terrible terrible cough. For a second, i wanted to lament "oh not now, not today, not when im sick" I went to my father with my "luggage". All he said was go get the mechanic, get it fixed...
I lightened the burden off my shoulders, took off my black raincoat, took dad's bright blue umbrella and marched to the mechanic in my bright orange dress with cheeks flushed due to the helplessness and an unwell system followed by a grey sky consoling me with its faint tears.
He came,
He unscrewed the tyre,
He went back,
He put a new tube (coz the old one was no good)
He returned,
He screwed it back in place,
I paid him, remembered to say thank you bhaiiya
and He left.
I picked up my luggage and came straight to office.
Surprisingly i wasnt upset. I was just weary of the coughing. A friend told me he kicked and cussed his bike when it got punctured once..
I decided not to do that.
I remember thinking when i was standing at the mechanic amidst the murky paste the first showers had made, what am i feeling bad about, being late? is that all? yes.. well can you do anything about it? nope.. well then okay.. let it be....
Well thats what your perception should tell you.. change the things you can.. react the best way you can... things you cannot change... let it be...
