Always remember who you were earlier

Whenever things get dark and bad in life, and you see yourself faltering, or it feels like you are losing yourself or your original nature, during such difficult times,  try and remember what your original nature was like, what was the best of you earlier in comparison to your current self. Hence, I recommend that you always remember who you were earlier.

Even if that means that you remember that you were at your best behaviour when you were a child. Bring that child back. Try to focus on your better self, and even when you think you were never really that good a person, you can always try and improve yourself. I believe that someone who is self-respecting leads a better life not only for themselves but also for others. You never know that the best of you might be able to help other people, inspire them, or even heal them.

When you are at your best, all miseries become manageable. So it is always handy to be the best of yourself. If you were always a quiet person and got frustrated, angered due to the unfortunate circumstances of your life, you can try and revert back to your original quiet self. Simply put, the best of you is always better than the current you. Do not let the horrible circumstances make you horrible as well. God Vishnu, in his avatar as Krishna, has said that one can be one’s worst enemy or best friend. If life becomes mud, be a lotus.
