Bringing Balance Between Who You Think You Are And How Others Perceive You

Are you a loving person?

Here are some points to consider.

* You hate or feel strongly against any person or any group of persons.

* You display violent tendencies, including verbal outbursts which eke aggression.

* You support the use of weapons which cause mass destruction and death.

* You enjoy movies which contain a lot of hatred and killing.

* You talk down to others’ beliefs and convictions and state that your own beliefs are superior.

The world is but a huge mirror. If you are indeed a loving person, the world will actually seem like quite a loving place to you, filled with actions of love and people who practice love. Then, chances are, people will then perceive you as a person of love.

On the other hand, if you see the world as a terrible place, filled with hatred and atrocities, then, in all likelihood, you would be projecting lots of negative energies outward, too.

A kind person is kind to, well, everyone. So, if you are kind to your boss, your family and your co-workers, but unkind to the waiter and the bus driver, then something is out of balance here.

I once knew someone who was described as cheery and “sunshine” by most friends, yet that person scolded and swore (within the confines of the car) at an old lady who was walking slowly by the side of the street and sort of blocked part of the road.

If you wish to be a kind person, you need to consciously and very deliberately remind yourself to be kind and to exude harmoniousness. If you find yourself on the verge of cursing at someone, you need to learn to put the brakes on and bring your thoughts in line with kindness. Every day, spend some time aligning yourself and your thoughts with the whole concept of kindness and being kind. In time, you WILL become kinder.

A measure of the degree of joy and happiness you have in life is how you feel most of the time – do you feel good, or are you often easily riled and saddened? Are you content with your lot in life? Do you see the good in people and in situations? Are you a “can do” person? Or are you easily angered by the unfairness and atrocities which go on in this world? Do you easily feel down and depressed when you hear bad news? Are you quickly discouraged when faced with certain obstacles? Are you easily worked up? Are others often telling you to “chill”? Do others enjoy being with you?
