Selflessness - an attitude worth practicing!

 

Selflessness - an attitude worth practicing!

Selfishness that damages our soul, our life and our relationships is not even recognized by most of us – most of the times! We use ‘convenient words’ to describe it and get away with our attitude. The words and logic we use are ‘but as spouse/parent/employer etc he/she is supposed to do na maam…’, ‘I am only asking what everyone has…???!!’

I am sure you can help us with few of your observations in this..

Now is the time to practice ‘selflessness’ in small ways for a start…

Respect a person and give him space when he says/requests to be left alone…don’t keep pestering them with messages/phones in the name of ‘but I am in pain etc..’ 

Contd.....

those who didn't do that exercise can do it now....

and those who did it too can redo that exercise now to notice where you have changed if any....

time to ponder :

How has someone's selfishness effected you in the past?

What was it about them and their act that hurt you the most?

What was the selfless act of someone /others that touched you the most?

How do you feel about someone who had cared for you?

How do you connect with someone who had been selfless in your life especially with you?

When you come across a selfless person what is the thought that comes to your mind? How do you feel about him? Look at your emotions that you have for that person?

Compare both the situations and see what is right and what feels good...

Now choose how you want to be in your relationships especially with your family and near and dear ones.....
