Let's talk about our friend, Faisal. He's someone who likes to be alone and isn't very comfortable around a lot of people. Every Sunday at lunchtime, he opens his lunchbox and enjoys some fried chicken, feeling happy about it.
As the week starts on Monday, Faisal has fried chicken again for lunch. This time, though, he doesn't like it as much. On Tuesday, he finds fried chicken in his lunchbox again. He eats it, but you can sense he's a bit annoyed this time. The pattern continues on Wednesday – more fried chicken. Faisal is starting to get frustrated, but he still eats it without complaining. By Thursday, right before lunch, I decide to ask:
"Looks like you have fried chicken again today."
"Yes."
"Why not try something else for lunch? Something healthier, maybe?"
"I'm not married; I pack my lunch by myself."
"What!!! Unbelievable! XoYz%*&%$O %$## !@#%%"
This unusual story reflects how we feed our minds every day. If we keep thinking about bad things from the past over and over again, it's like giving our minds a special kind of food called "stress." Just like eating fried chicken every day might not be good for our cholesterol, constantly stressing our minds can lead to problems like sugar issues, high blood pressure, heart blockages, asthma, anxiety, and more health troubles in the long run. It's essential to consider how our thoughts impact our overall well-being!
So the choice is yours. Either we keep feeding your brain the germs of negativity and stress OR develop the power of not looking back and start living in today. Remember the fact that life never stops. People who live in their past, stop living on earth – or simply die soon. So we must exert our energies to bring something positive and fruitful today which can bring happiness in our life or in our loved ones' lives. About the problems we should develop the MGTD attitude: which means Meet them (confess the situation with no fear), Greet them (think positively), Treat them (focus on solution) and finally Defeat them (do practical things for eradication).
