YOU WANT TO BE
HAPPY IN LIFE? GOLDEN RULE IS , TREAT OTHERS HOW YOU WOULD WANT TO BE
TREATED..
The Golden
rule looks like it was made for people, for example it encourages you
to
help your neighbours, treat your family with kindness, you go the
extra mile for your co-workers, you help a stranger in need.
But the golden
rule in itself was made for, centers around bringing you deep
happiness.
Now,
those actions will undoubtedly be good for the people you help and
are kind to … but you’ll also notice a strange thing. People will
treat you better too, certainly. Beyond
that, though, you will find a growing satisfaction in yourself, a
belief in yourself, a knowledge that you are a good person and a
trust in yourself.
Those
are not small dividends. They are huge. Our world will be a better
place if we all can abide by this rule in all we do, to consider the
negative result of our actions, our littlest actions on the people
around us. I preach self love, and the only way to attain self love,
true happiness and deep joy in our hearts is to treat the people
around us with utmost love and kindness.
There
might be some arguments about this but the
truth is the truth. You can never be really happy, when others around
you are miserable. You don't necessarily have to be the cause, to
show some kindness, put a smile on someone's face everyday, and see
how your every day turns out.
Start from your home, extend it to your
neighbours, your co-workers and your community will be a better
place.
Here
are ways to live by the golden rule:
Practice
empathy
: . Make it a habit to try to place yourself in the shoes of another
person. Any person. Loved ones, co-workers, people you meet on the
street. Really try to understand, to the extent that you can, what it
is like to be them, what they are going through, and why they do what
they do.
Practice compassion.
Once you can understand another person, and feel what they’re going
through, learn to want to end their suffering. And when you can, take
even a small action to somehow ease their suffering in some way.
How
would you want to be treated? The
Golden rule doesn't really mean that you should treat someone else
exactly as you’d want them to treat you … it means that you
should try to imagine how they want to be treated, and do that. So
when you put yourself in their shoes, ask yourself how you think they
want to be treated. Ask yourself how you would want to be treated if
you were in their situation
Be
friendly.
When in doubt, follow this tip. It’s usually safe to be friendly
towards others. Of course, there are times when others just don’t
want someone acting friendly towards them, and you should be
sensitive to that.
Be
helpful.
This is probably one of the weaknesses of our society. Sure, there
are many people who go out of their way to be helpful, and I applaud
them. But in general there is a tendency to
criticize others, whether it’s people we know or people we see on
television. However, ask yourself if you would like to be criticized
in that person’s situation. The answer is almost always “no”.
So hold back your criticism, and instead learn to interact with
others in a positive way.
Don’t
control others.
It’s also rare that people want to be controlled. Trust me. So
don’t do it. This is a difficult thing, especially if we are
conditioned to control people. But when you get the urge to control,
put yourself in that person’s shoes. You would want freedom and
trust, wouldn't you? Give that to others then.
Rise
above retaliation.
We have a tendency to strike back when we’re treated badly. This is
natural. Resist that urge. The Golden Rule isn't about retaliation.
It’s about treating others well, despite how they treat you. Does
that mean you should be a doormat? No … you have to assert your
rights, of course, but you can do so in a way where you still treat
others well and don’t strike back just because they treated you
badly first..
you
can add more to this list.. lets together create happy lives to keep
to yourself, and to ignore the problems of others. Don’t be blind
to the needs and troubles of others. Look to help even before you’re
asked
