3R's of Life!!!
Reduce
Reuse and Recycle - the 3R’s of Environment to
keep Mother Nature clean. Likewise, a definition of 3R’s of life aids in the
potential growth of a human in all aspects. The very first R is what we all are
used to, from birth till death, Receive. Every one of us has
been used to receive love, care, attention, affection but not to receive life
as it comes. Life is a stream, just “Flow Along”, like how a river takes
everything in its path. Acceptance of reality is a huge lesson that none can
master, but everyone goes through a journey to achieving it. We all live a
world where we hardly hear a “no” until a certain point in life, after which
our actual life begins. By human nature, we tend to accept good situations
easily but receiving the bad ones is where our strength lies. Planned or
unplanned actions both have the same probabilities of success and failure. One
needs to have a calm patient mind to gain success and maintain it proudly, not
boastfully. Similarly, while receiving the odds of life, one needs boldness,
not blaming character. Never fly too high when you win, nor go too low when you
lose. you always have to live on this divine gravitational sphere because
staying too high or too low is temporary and dreadful. Attempt, await and accept
the results of your decisions with a belief in you. When you receive, you have
a chance to revive yourself, rewind your
thoughts, rectify your mistakes and restore new
energy for a fresh beginning.
Many
of us are fond to look in a mirror and admire ourselves. When it comes to
action, we either step back or argue that we are right. The main reason is we
never reflect on what we do and say. A Reflection is smooth as
well as stern. But when there is ever a single iota of guilt or negativity
within you, looking at yourself becomes a tough task. That very reflection
makes you contemplate on your actions and if you are not ready to accept it,
your reflection becomes scary to you. We don’t think about the decisions that
we take and introspect ourselves more often. Many are busy reflecting the
negativity from others and wait for the right opportunity to take revenge. We
need to start reflecting each mistake of ours than pointing at others. When you
observe your actions in various perspectives, you draw a different picture of
yourself in numerous ways that can give a better understanding of your
strengths and weaknesses. When you reflect, you redraw your
actions, reminisce the best of yourself, reinvent the
unknown within yourself.
In the world full of people either replying or seen zone-ing each other, reciprocation has lost its meaning. Responding to the current situation is the need of the hour, but procrastination has been the new trend with ignorance as to the icing on the cake. We retort when we want, we rejoice when we are happy but never reciprocate when others are in dire need. We choose what to react too, who to react and when to react. Though all of us have been gifted with the sense of hearing and speech, mankind chose selective mutism as the prime character of recent times. Many souls just vanish away without speaking many words just because there were no ears to listen, no hearts to respond. We realize the need for reciprocation from others only when we crave for the response, sadly we never realize the necessity of our attention to others. Reciprocation need not always be with others. Our souls need rejuvenation too. It needs the cleansing of negative thoughts, reciprocate rightly to the present than ponder about the past. Return to the times when the human connection was best in reciprocating to others and yourself, more than ruminating every step of others.
The
3R’s of nature has been taught to all of us since kindergarten. It’s a cycle
that continuously drives a change in nature. Equally the 3R’s of life, RECEIVE
REFLECT RECIPROCATE, is a cycle that drives considerable change within us
for a better peaceful life. Make it possible to receive life wholly,
reflect thoroughly and reciprocate unconditionally to make life easier
and simpler.
