WHY THE MANTRA OF RELENTLESS POSITIVITY ALWAYS WORKS

How often do you fall in a situation where you do realise that the fault committed was yours but you still go on with the blaming spree? I think it happens quite often. Agreed? The most common example of this occurrence is the time while are you are driving.

I encountered a similar situation once. While crossing a junction area and struggling with the traffic, I passed a sincere, strict look to an army truck driver who was driving in my opposite lane and took sharp right turns, almost bumping into my car. In my quest to be portrayed as a disciplined and a careful driver, I forgot to look at my left and bumped into a cab.

Within seconds, fingers were pointed at me and the cab driver started blaming me. On my way forward, I did a rewind of the incident, and figured out two really important things to keep your mind clutter free: a) You cannot control the emotions at a particular instance, but just when you are over with it, smile and give a recap with what went wrong. This will keep you cautious in the future, and at the same time, the smile will save your day. b) Self realisation. If the other person is wrong, you can be, too. This will control your wild instinct every time you get into a similar situation and it would be a lifelong lesson .

I call this the phenomenon of relentless positivity that always works for me.
