Think positive and let go of it!

Thought for the day! A lot of times we think that we have thought positive of the other person still the person behaved unexpectedly. When we thought positive about someone it's good for us as we created positive energy around us and passed that energy to the other person. But when we get emotionally attached to our positive thought and start expecting another person to behave in the expected way that is where we are going wrong.

When we grow up we move from being dependent to becoming independent. Then when kids arrive we grow from independence to dependence again. Then when kids grow up again we become independent again. In the process we all become old and experienced, we learn more but when we look back at the time when the change was happening, was it easy? No, it wasn't, we looked for people who could listen to us, who could understand us, and who could support us while we were handling that change in the be
