Yes, I
know we all feel sad and depressed at times, we all go through that grind at
some point or the other in our life, and that's when it feels really good to
have someone nice and comforting near us, to make us see the silver lining and
the Green pastures, right? And if you are the other kind, you will probably go
into the shell, bottle up things inside you, or you may be the one who likes to
just sit sipping your favourite cuppa of coffee and read inspirational/motivational stuff to pep yourself up.
No matter
how different you are or Whatever your reaction to stress or gloominess is, let
me tell you one simple universal fact, the ultimate reality that resides in all
of us no matter what, the wonderful thing that happen inside us, nature’s way
to tell us to move ahead in life, overcome difficulties, not to be a glum chum
and clean our own mess!
Here is
what I am talking about:
There are
close to 100 trillion cells in our body doing their core job very
diligently day and night, what do you think they are eternal? Wearing a shiny Armour all the time, drinking some magic potion to stay young forever? No, my friend
nothing is eternal, this isn't any fairy tale here, they also burn out and die
and are replaced by new healthy ones.
When cells wear out and are no
longer needed or become a
threat to the
organism, they undergo a
suicidal programmed cell
death or Apoptosis.
This process involves
the cell to
shrink and condense,
disassemble and alter its
cell surface so
that the neighbouring cells, named as macrophages can digest them. This whole process is so beautifully
designed that the worn out cells are
digested before they leak any of their contents into the neighbouring healthy
cells.
Now
picture this, your old disappointing
experiences, past failures, painful rejections are like those worn out cells in
body, occupying the space, not letting new cells which in this case are
positive influences, good memories to grow, they disturb your inner
equilibrium , and from time to time they
keep releasing their toxic vibes into the surrounding healthy medium and by
doing so they are altering and diluting your positivity, our feel good factor,
our core being, whereas you need to
destroy them, eliminate them so that your internal homeostasis is always taken
care of, so that your inner self is full of positivity, calmness, and goodness
You need
to take care of your negative emotions in such a way that your mental
equilibrium is not disturbed, to recognize your shortcomings and accept them
gracefully, work on them and not holding anyone else responsible for your
misery, isn't it? and all this has to happen inside you continuously, Even in adult
humans, billions of
cells die each
hour in tissues such
as the intestine
and bone marrow
and are replaced by
new cells.
Researchers suggest
that abnormalities of
apoptosis may play
a key role in
Alzheimer disease, cancer
and autoimmune disorders.
Similarly when we don't not work on ourself, our negative emotions, our complaining behaviour, our shortcomings, they make us unhappy, feel unloved and depressed and dejected in life.
So stop
blaming yourself, circumstances, or people, because if you will spend your time
and energy doing so, you will lose out
on your happiness, your precious years in cribbing and crying, instead clean
your own mess, and do it diligently and so well that others also look up to
you, they follow your footsteps, and become a legend, like is said by Martin Luther King Jr.
“If a
man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a
Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry.
He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will
pause to say, 'Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.”
