Everything has a nature which defines it. Heat and light is the nature of fire, sweetness is the nature of sugar. We too have our nature that defines our character and personality. It’s important to introspect and be honest with ourselves and recognise our true nature. And work towards bettering it.

To be effective in the world we must understand three things : Ourselves , nature of the world and our relationship with the world.

Once we accept that different people in our life have their own nature, life becomes easier to navigate. Our challenge is we want people to change and be the way “we” want them to be. But people change when “they” want to.

When we bring the higher in us in every relationship, we have the greatest chance of a successful relationship. To bring out our positivity when the other person is behaving otherwise is our true test. And when we can do that we are truly “successful”.

Our hurts are caused by our expectations and non acceptance of the nature of people around us. These difficult relationships come in our lives as an opportunity for us to develop unconditional love, empathy and acceptance. They build our inner capacity and strengthen our higher nature.

Difficult relationships in our lives are not a problem. They are a blessing.
