Does The World Revolve Around Us?

Do you come across people in every day life who think the world revolves around them?

We’ve all seen people at some point in life, who would love to be the center of everybody’s world, be it at home, work or the shopping mall.

Although not normal, such behavior creates distance between people and strains relationships if not recognized and worked upon, early in life.

Make a difference in the world

Not everyone fights the same battle in life. Our journeys and struggles could be different and difficult at times.

This is no excuse to be unempathetic towards others. It’s important to remind ourselves that all have their own battles and people do go through stressful moments in daily life.

Fostering healthy connections and nurturing our bonds with each other go a long way in a busy world that is burdened with stress and fear.

Blaming people or situations for our resentment, ego or bitterness is an easy way to convince others and ourselves that we matter the most and the world revolves around us, where people around us are obliged to please us to boost our pride.

Make a difference today by looking at the world with a changed perspective, accepting your flaws and not being demanding.

Self-Centeredness

Have you met people who consider the needs and feelings of others as less significant than their own?

Being completely engrossed in your own interests and selfish concerns makes you insensitive to the needs of others.

Self-centeredness leads us to show no concern for others and to consider our feelings and experiences as the only things that matter. Such an attitude keeps us from doing any good to others without selfish motives.

Being kind to people doesn’t reduce the importance of our needs or feelings, but makes us truly human.

There are many people suffering due to the inconsiderate and mindless behavior of those around them.

Do we at times behave as though the world revolves around us? Does this attitude bring inner satisfaction or conceal our hard-heartedness?

Being Courteous

It’s never justifiable to take pleasure in someone’s misfortune. Discourteousness affects relationships, communication, and the well-being of others negatively.

Being courteous is crucial to make others feel valued and to be respected by others.

In waiting lines, on public transport, or at events and get-togethers, it is necessary to be mindful of our behavior and be considerate of others.

Don’t we find people or at times ourselves getting impatient and going on a blaming spree without being mindful of what we say or do without looking at the bigger picture?

Could a moment of calmness, a little patience, an empathetic attitude help us navigate better through such times?

Being courteous speaks volumes about us. It costs nothing to treat others the way you want to be treated and surely pays off well in the long run.

The Influence

It is not right to let our actions be influenced by the negativity we see in the world.

Holding on to bitterness, puffed up ego or resentment take our souls deeper into darkness and negativity whereas a willingness to learn and grow, healing by letting go, genuineness and humility help us shine from within and radiate our light everywhere we go, making a difference in the world.

Being polite, appreciating others, and knowing when to apologize creates a pleasant environment around us.

It is necessary to self-reflect and notice how your attitude affects the feelings of people around you. Reflecting on your attitude often and improving it helps you have better relationships and makes a positive impact on people around you.
