It is quite true advising others is very easy; but when it comes to staying calm, we find it extremely difficult to keep worry at bay. Worry haunts everyone like a relentless ghost. Worry is not something that attacks seldom; it is always lurking to sneak into our mind. If we are not vigilant and cautious, we may be in its grip permanently.
I remember many experiences in which worry tortured me. One such experience was quite recent. I had my final exams just round the corner. In spite of having studied hard and revised throughout the year, I began feeling nervous and worried about my preparation. I became so worried that I had difficulty sleeping peacefully at night.
Then I took control of the situation. I calmed my mind through deep breathing and meditation and remembered all the hard work I had done; I reminded myself my performances in the terminal and pre-board exams. Gradually I began to feel confident. Then I realized we must know the strategy to tackle worry, otherwise it may make us feel quite uncomfortable and stressed.
Because you face the situation and know that how difficult it is. But, when it comes to give advice, you prefer to be more philosophical oriented and less reality oriented.
From your viewpoint, it seems practically applicable but the one who is in the situation, knows how difficult it is to apply the advice.
But, even while giving advice, you aren’t incorrect. The advice which you give is to ensure that someone doesn’t experience the same bad phase which we did. At least he could apply the advice and improve his situation.
And, when it comes to you, you apply what you seem right in that phase. Because when you’re in trouble, you’ve lots of thoughts in mind and that too in a messy state. So, you find it difficult to figure out what is best and what is just good. And, just to avoid trouble phase anyhow, you think to take immediate action because pain of it is unbearable.
While, when it comes to other, you give right advice but forget to consider the same unbearable pain one might be feeling.
And, that’s why even if you’re right, you seem wrong.
But, in both the situations, one is right. Because you doing just what you think is best for that minute.
