A SMALL STORY🔗

Once, in a kingdom ruled over by a very benevolent king, many people came to the king and reported to him that they were in very deep worries. They were reportedly unable to come out of their worries. However the common refrain was that the other person was not worrying! Only he was worrying. This naturally disturbed the king a bit, and he decided, "If everybody says so, why not have an exchange offer? Let us have an exchange offer!" He hit upon an idea and gave the instructions – whomsoever wants to exchange their worries with the others can come and participate.

The function was elaborately organized. After all it is not everyday that one gets to exchange ones worries! In the center of a big plain ground, a big pot was placed, a 'worry pot' as it were. Into this pot, each willing person could throw his worries, tied up in a bag. But he had to pick up some other bag. After all it was an exchange offer. They were free to throw in their worry bag and pick up any other bag. The whole kingdom gathered and there was a festive air, an air of expectancy. Who would start first? They saw each other and started talking to each other, and when they shared their worries with each other, shared each other's problems, the king saw that at the end of the allotted time, nobody was ready to throw in their worry! Nobody had come forward to put his worry into the pot!

The king asked, "What happened?" Everybody said in one voice, "The worry that we already have itself is enough. Now at this stage if we get some new worries, we do not know how to face it! At least we are acquainted with our existing worries. We are comfortable with it. We can pull or push and drag our life along with the known worries. But if we are to get new worries, we will have new worries, just thinking about how to deal with the new worries! After all, a known devil is better than an unknown angel! We will have to get settled with the unknown devil. Because surely the new worry will not be an angel. Who knows whether we will be able to get settled at all? No, we don't know!"

So, nobody wants to even exchange the worries.

Ignorance means believing that floating in the past and future is relaxation and being in the present is a stressful effort. If we stop the past being projected into the future, you will be relieved from worry. If we stop the projection of the future into past, we will be relieved from greed. The best way to come out of stress is to take the whole world and life lightly. Life is not worthy of suffering. Life is to live joy fully and lightly. Inner space is very important for us. External things must not spoil our inner space

Acceptance will give the clarity. When you participate in every activity, every moment - when we are in the present our thoughts per second will be at a minimum. Connecting the unconnected – the low mood that we experienced ten years ago, the low mood that we experienced eight years ago and the low mood that we experienced yesterday are completely unconnected and independent incidents. All those happened for different purposes, different reasons, different times and situations. But we connect all those unconnected incidents and say "my life itself is a depression".

We have to understand that it is only what we believe to be our past that we will reproduce in future. So once we start believing that our past was filled with depression, we have created the unconscious faith that our future will also be depression. We need to understand that we are a process and that by our very nature; our thoughts are unconnected independent and unclutched. If we try to connect the thoughts we get stressed.

Our words thoughts and feelings are very powerful even water responds clearly to our thoughts words and feelings. Over 70% of our body is made up of water. So imagine the power of words. As it is your thought, so is your will, it is your will, so is your action, as is your action, so you become. Negative thoughts and words not only affect those against whom we express them; it has an equal effect on us. Negativity does not merely affect others, it affects us first. Understanding and picking up new things is learning, Learning is about new topics.

Responsibly learning is spontaneous, when we are spontaneous we will be relaxed.Learning is an amazing process. Life is like a roller coaster with lots of surprises. Spontaneous is being responsible to the moment. What we learn from life and accept, it is bliss but when we start judging and labeling, that leads to stress.

To make the kids aware of the fact that how negative thoughts and words cause stress.
