Yesterday, I was very depressed and the surprising thing is that I actually didn’t know the reason for that! I wanted to cry till the time all my tears didn’t finish up, I wanted to shout on all the people with whom I was angry, At the same time I wanted to close myself behind strong doors, so that no one could reach me! Well, I was feeling nothing more than a LOOSER! I wanted to quit my job, wanted to break all my friendships, and wanted everyone around me to just vanish!

Well, sounding weird? But I guess each one of us does go through such turmoil and mood swings once in our lives. May be this was the highest point of my irritations! The frustration point was so high that I made up my mind never to go back to my work place again! I even took an unannounced leave from my office and started thinking about the different ways in which I could resign from my office!

Well, while at home, I read a thought ‘We need to understand that thoughts are tools. Are we using them as productively as we can? Are our thoughts serving us well, or are we their victims? It’s up to us.’ Then, I pondered over my last day’s actions as well as my thoughts and everything became crystal clear for me!

Well, what was I thinking? Why was I getting so negative in my thoughts? After all, this was my life? So, why was I making it tougher and boring for myself? I simply took a pencil and a paper and listed down all the good things I had in my life. And guess what? Both my hands were filled with the best things! A supportive family that was always there during my moments of happiness and sadness; a group of loving and caring friends who always supported me in whatever I did and even guided me during my moments of indecisiveness; a loving person (my fiancé) who was ready to share even his life with me; a job that taught me much! Well, where was the place for sadness in my life?

Well, like every incident, this one also brought a major lesson of life with it. At times, we become so self-centered that we are unable to beyond our limitations of human brain! We forget that life is full of ups and downs, full of good and bad things! After all rainbow is made up of a combination of different colors, isn’t it? And every human faces these highs and lows, the difference lies only in how each human lets these lows and highs affect him and his near and dear ones!
