Holding a positive outlook may give you a better personality -Atul Malikram

 

Suffering from insomnia, when I visited my doctor, he advised me to do a full-body check-up and blood test. Standing in front of the pathology lab, my legs were glued to the entrance while my mind continued to play different scenarios one after another. The somber atmosphere and the expensive equipment did nothing to abate my fear. I was supposed to collect the test reports by evening. With each passing moment, my heart was beating erratically, thinking about the test reports, and the moment knocked. Doctors briefed me about my anxiety issues with the prescribed medicines and recommended not to worry. But, I was not satisfied. There was something amiss that even my doctor failed to recognize. Something that was not right inside me. After a while, I finally found what I was looking for, and it shocked me to the core.

I get to know where I was lacking in my personality. My way of speaking is changing and so is my attitude towards others. I am becoming more and more self-centered these days. I have started to become proud of my existence and instead of identifying my shortcomings; I am keen on finding faults in others. I am quick to spot the same mistake in another person but fail to see the problem in myself. I have started discriminating against people. I have started to speak without thinking about the consequences of the words coming out of my mouth and their effect on others. My mind has started conspiring against others. Anger is like a roaring cloud over my head that can burst anytime. I have surrounded myself with so much negativity that it is destroying the humanity inside me. It's absolutely easy to see the world through your lens and stay in the bubble. I used to think that I was always right and that my opinion matters most, but now I realize that this is not the case.

We need to find a better way to get rid of this negativity. We have to understand that no doctor in the world can cure this disease. It's time to forget being self-centered and do something for other people. It's time to be a good human. People remember the personality of a person even after they die. A man’s personality lives on and can affect others long after the physical body has died. So why not try being a good human? In the end, it's not about making your life lovely rather you should make your surroundings beautiful.
