The art of developing the virtue of contentment

English translation of my published Gujarati article in the paper, Gujarati article link: સંતોષનો ગુણ વિકસાવવાની કળા

We know the power of positivity, but how to use it in our lives is the biggest puzzle. As every puzzle has a solution, I have tried to establish a solution; I hope this solution can help!

I am not talking about anything you should focus on for positive energy. Positive energy is all about just “YOU”. You are the source of positive energy, but we’re mostly unaware of it.

We have set patterns in our minds about situations. When situations are in our favour, we are the “happiest bird”, and if it doesn’t, then we are the “sad bird”. Our happiness depends on the so-called situations, and when the situations are not as per our choice, we suffer in a state of dissatisfaction in life.

The ultimate way to be energetic is to be detached from situations. This is the theory which you should apply practically. Train your mind to implement new thoughts. This is the secret to happiness and satisfaction in ourselves. It is also a path towards spiritual thinking.

Have gratitude in your existence, feel contentment in your situations. Have faith in God, feel blessings from God, accept life as it is, treat life as a gift. Whatever your Guru or God has written for you, it is good for you. It is the truth in this world. Trust in him.

By adopting this philosophy, you can develop the virtue of satisfaction. Through this, your mind spreads this positivity throughout your existence (personality). This becomes your energy. So, you become the source of positive energy for yourself.

You are the source of positivity and negativity as well. How is it? We will understand by two circles: The satisfaction circle and the dissatisfaction circle.

Circle 1: The satisfaction circle

The satisfaction circle start with satisfaction that represents when you are in satisfaction mode; you feel positivity that converts into positive energy. Positive energy leads to happiness and peace. That is your positive power, which you created on your own.

Circle 2: The dissatisfaction circle

The dissatisfaction circle start with dissatisfaction; when you are in dissatisfaction mode, you feel negativity that converts into negative energy. Negative energy leads to hatred and frustration. That is your negative power, which you created on your own.

Hence, we already have energy power in ourselves. You should choose which energy power you want. It is definite that all want positive energy power, which is shown in circle 1, but mostly we are unaware of how to get it, so we become the victim of circle 2.

Human beings have all the power that we want. But we must realise it by focusing on ourselves and finding our energy.  If we get it, we can achieve everything we want. It is up to us how much we desire in life.

Satisfaction mode gives you more productivity in life. Your personality becomes cheerful, and whatever your role is, whatever your tasks are, you will perform better and get the best results. Even if some situations are tough, you will be able to deal with calmness. But earlier, when you followed the dissatisfaction circle, you could not have achieved this much result; now, by following the satisfaction circle, you can. Just try it; it works for sure.

If the tough situation that bothers you is in your control, try to search for solutions to overcome it instead of getting stuck there. A situation that is beyond your control gives you a mental burden. Do not try to control a situation or people in this instance; it will turn into a mess. To avoid the mental burden, you can adopt this philosophy and become a free bird. Why focus on the mental burden? It creates negativity in us. When we stop “could be” and “would be” and accept what is in the present, we find immense pleasure.

Live in the present, and have contentment for your being and feel positive energy. Live life to the fullest.

The choice is yours:
Journey towards satisfaction and feel positive power 
Or
Journey towards dissatisfaction and feel negative power
