"Once upon a time there was a ....."
And your favorite story begins!
The story is touching .. full of adventure, full of passion, full of excitement and love. You just love the hero of the story, for what he is!
No one is a born hero. What makes him a hero is all the things that he does which ordinary people don't. That's what makes him stand out. And that's why you like him so much.
I believe that our life is a story....
And everyone has a story of their own.
You are the main character of your story. So, anybody who reads this story, is going to look up to you as a hero.
So, at every point of life, when you cannot decide what to do, imagine how you would like a hero in a story to behave if he were in the same situation.
Thats because sometimes we expect the heroes to be doing right things, but when it comes to us, we forget what is right and behave only towards our own benefit. Its easy to say "why do I have to be good everytime? I am not a hero!" But you forget that YOU are the hero of your own story.
Sometimes, being ethically wrong could be beneficial to you at that moment. But after 20 years, when you look back at the story of your life, you won't be able to be proud of yourself for what you did.
Because at that time, you realize that inspite of having an opportunity to be a star of your own life story, you just lived like an ordinary person. Your story might have brought you diamonds, but for the audience, it's just as boring as it could be!
When we listen to a story, does it matter whether the hero of the story is rich or poor?
No! that has nothing to do with why we like him. We like him, for the person he is!
Ofcourse we become happy if he becomes rich at the end. But the reason why we are happy for him, is because you loved him throughout the story. And the reason why you loved him through the story is because he always did what was right.
He lived like a hero!
Happiness is true happiness only when everyone else is happy for you. If you're happy, but someone out there is suffering because of that (directly or indirectly), you should rather think before you celebrate. You're playing an evil person not only in their story, but also your own. Heroes never make anybody cry while they achieve what they want.
It might not be always easy to do what a hero would do in your situation. But this exercise would atleast make us aware if are doing anything wrong. Sometimes, we are so much into ourselves that we dont even realize that what we are doing could be wrong. Sometimes we just neglect it.
Our story is in our hands and we should live it like a story to be told!
Live it such a way that the listener likes you and looks up to you.
So, wear the smile, and start living the life again as if it were a story...
