How To Bring Cheer to Others

When we are experiencing burnout, boredom, too late or even experience severe problems, often times we build high walls that reads "DO NOT disturb" (Do Not Disturb). Of course, my friends and family we can clearly see the wall, because the writing is attached to our faces. And we also do not want to be a person who cares about us. "I DO NOT CARE! No matter! I also was no problem! "That's the defense that often we are bringing.

"I need to be comforted!" Or "I'm bored, but no matter yan on me!" The question is, how people can approach us at the moment we still show our spines like a hedgehog in the back ready to attack? With the walls that reads "Do Not Disturb!"? See our faces are stressed, angry, no smile, of course they're scared or keep their distance.

Often we require people to understand our condition, attention to us because we are too self-pity ("I'm right there is a problem, my life is hard," and so on). HAH, who's had a problem only of our own? All people must have had a problem.

And selfish man, when he was having trouble, when she was sad, he would say, "How can I comfort others, while himself was I who needed to be comforted?" Or "How can I share, while I've not had anything what else? "

A few days ago, I was bored and tired with my routine. Then, I think for me I disable handphone. But, I do not do it. By nightfall, I just want to rest. Suddenly, one by one my friend sent me message and requested time to listen to their story, there is a feeling of loneliness, there is a feeling saturated. I was patiently read their message, then, draw a deep breath, and smile, and reply to message them with encouragement to them.

After that, they were thanked for their time and spirit that I give them. They provide icon 'smile'. I can not help them solve the problem, but I try to entertain them, that everything would be fine. Then what happens? I felt that was too saturated and not the spirit, as if his spirit returned twice. They thanked many times. I do not feel anything, did not help anything. I just give them time to listen. Sometimes, without us knowing, no matter how small we do for others, it means a lot to them.

Maybe my friends too have experienced the same thing with my experience. May we always learn to share in any condition, because what we share will be returned to us, even multiplied.
