POSSITIVE AIDS TO PEACE OF MIND 9

[Guest guest]

9. Do Something Positive.

 

Always be doing something positive and something worthwhile. Do not waste time

wondering, " Shall I do this? Or shall I do that? " You will spend days, weeks,

months—why, years—in that futile mental debating and end up doing nothing.

Don’t plan too much. The planning is done by God. Be doing something good all

the time. Allow no gap in your concrete activity. You can never do enough to

take time for rest. Let there be no spare moments, no wasted moments in your

life. Even a few careless moments can pull you down in life. Time is life. Value

your time and spend it most profitably.

 

Even if you are resting physically, do not keep the mind vacant. Occupy

yourself in healthy reading or Japa or mental prayer. All havoc starts in the

mind. Harsh words and evil deeds originate in the mind. Keep the sources clean.

The river of your life will flow as crystal.

 

Doing things gives self-confidence. It does not matter if you fail the first

time. You can rectify your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back in

the chair and worrying will lead to nothing. It will only make you a total

pessimist.

 

Some people get upset when they attempt to do something good and obstacles

come in. It is natural for obstacles to crop up in the way of any good work.

They come to test the mettle of the performer of the good work. They come to

test his sincerity, his patience, his faith. You will experience that the

stronger your resolve to do something worthwhile, the more powerful the opposing

forces. Do not feel frustrated. Do not give up. Do not yield. Overcome the

obstacles by faith in God and faith in yourself. You cannot win laurels in any

field without undergoing tests and tribulations. It is unfair to expect a Degree

while showing unwillingness to undergo a qualifying test.
