BE A FORCE FOR GOOD

If someone wrongs you, or causes you pain, does it justify a reason to want to hurt them back? 

Why would you want that? Which part of your being are you feeding? The darkness or the Light?

What is it that you are trying to accomplish by retaliating? 

Aren't you actually seeking to repair your wounded ego?

You may want payback, because you feel you were mistreated, but would that really be the right thing to do? 

Instead of searching for 'justice to be made' or for the 'eye for an eye,' retribution, why don't you explore inwardly?

Ask yourself; why am I in this position to begin with? What lesson do I need to learn? Why is this appearing in my life?

If you search deeply enough, In the end, you'll realize, that although you had to endure pain, something good did come out of it. 

Invariably, as in any incident in life, you can always find the "silver lining". Sometimes it isn't so easy to detect, but it's there, you just need to search hard in order to find it. 

Think of yourself as a force for good. 

Train yourself to be proactive instead of giving in to your reactive default. Go against what comes naturally to you, in fact do exactly the opposite. 

Once you do that, you'll gain control over what happens to you in life. 

Why? Because you'll be actively creating your life, instead of reacting to it.

It's not about what happens to you in life, it's about how you react to it.

Whenever you find yourself in a situation where you need to choose between doing good or bad - darkness or light, choose to be a force for good. 

Always choose the path that leads to peace. 

Not only would it be the best choice for you and for the people around you, but you'll also be the one responsible for spreading positivity in the world. 

What sounds better; peaceful ways, or feeding the fire of hate? Gandhi or Sadam Hussein? 

Which will you choose?
