One 36 years old gentleman had turned very bitter after his divorce. He felt that God had been very unfair to him. He would shout at anyone on every small thing and because of his behavior everyone started staying away from him. He was turning further bitter because he felt that in his time of need everyone has left him. If someone ever tried talking he always talked about how bad things are.
When he came to me, I asked him what type of life he wants? He said that I do not care. I have lost everything. Now, nothing matters. If nothing matters then why do you have so many complaints? Whatever is lost can come back or may be better than that of you desire so. But if you do not want why should it come back? And if nothing matters, then do you plan not to live your life? If you plan to live your life then do you want to live like this always? If you want to live then make it better anyway. Whatever way you are living it right now, I am sure your life cannot improve which means you will further be complaining always. Take your decision right now!
He sat quite on the couch lifeless and said that I want to live a better life. Like God also was waiting for his decision. Suddenly a butterfly came and we were observing it. I asked him, do you know how a pupa becomes a butterfly and he nodded yes. Do you know how painful it is? It bleeds and its very painful. Now, should it keep crying over that pain or should it enjoy its beauty and freedom of flying?
He got his answer. Then what shall be done? Think what you want, think how your life should be and then put all your energy into that. You have limited energy, you can use that in feeling bad about past or creating a better future. Choice is yours.
He started working on creating a better life, he just had few things in mind, I want to have a big business and a great relationship. He did get everything and this time he knew the value too.
Often we all spend a lots of energy on what bad has happened but instead of that if we stat putting our energy into creating a better future, our lives would be much better.
