Commitment

Don’t Miss ‘I’ in ‘US’

Never stop doing little things for others because sometimes these little things occupy the biggest part in their hearts, but what if the same is not reciprocated you. What others do is not my business, but what people do to me, may be again not my business but yes it does effects. We often say that “I just do my part and don’t expect anything from others”, I just don’t expect that they should to do the same to me but when certain gesture or action did not come back the way we did, it hurts and we feel bad. 

We sometimes also feel like I am being taken as granted. If we can be little honest to ourselves, somewhere yes we have little expectations but we resist accepting the same. When things in life go smooth and in air, we do a lot for others, and keep saying that “Lets enjoy the present, who knows and can predict future??” Slowly and gradually we get “used to” to it and want to feel the same throughout the life. Very silently our life crosses three stages – from “used to” to “expectation” to “hope”. The equation of life unknowingly and secretly changes this way and when the same things cannot be continued, it hurts then. We somehow want to be in the same aura, want to feel the same freshness in the air. The very beautiful truth of life is – “Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do much for them”. Live your life doing what feels right to you, not what someone else thinks you should do. It’s ok to listen to advice, but in the end, make the decision that’s feels best for you. Being a people pleasure is a very frustrating way to live. Get in the habit of pleasing yourself too. You are responsible for your own happiness. Your feelings are important. Our self-respect tracks your choices. Every time we act in harmony with our authentic self and our heart, we earn our respect. It is that simple. Every choice matters. When someone treats you like an option, help them narrow their choices by removing yourself from the equation. Simply, you can be an option to someone only when you allow them to treat you like one, so be cautious.
