Calamities!
Recently there is this buss going on for hurricane Sandy which is about to hit East Coast of America in next couple of hours. Watching news I realized that how many of us considered the calamities that happen to the humans in any given day!
Natural calamities damage the masses where as the calamities happening on a personal level damage the person himself and those around him! Nevertheless the damage is as potent as a natural calamity is to hundreds and thousands.
But did we ever stop and thought that we need to be prepared for it the way we are preparing for 'Sandy'?? I guess not! We just let things happen to us and the damage is more cause we didn't prepared our self. If we would have, we would be in way better shape, especially psychologically.
As a child is growing up, we need to prepare him / her to handle these calamities which can be in the form of law and order situation, accidental deaths in the family, separation or any other such incident which marks the life of an individual rather permanently.
Now the important point which needs our time and attention is what we need in to develop in our-seleves and in those around us to survive such incidents and not only just live through them but also emerge happy and safe with a balance heart and mind.
All that happens around us impact our thinking and understanding hence effecting our psyches, so, naturally it becomes important to armed ourselves with skills and abilities that help us fight this war of sanity, health and happiness! what is required and how it can be achieved! If we talk in terms of training and grooming an individual the most important factor that comes to mind is making people aware of their skills and abilities.
How would you fight a war if you dont know what weapons you have? So, creating awareness is EXTREMELY important regarding ones own abilities and strengths. The second point is to develop the weaker areas, which can be anything....from physical fitness to mental health, emotional well being or may be simply communication or problem-solving skills.
The third and to me the most important factor is to develop what you already have! It's difficult to improve areas where we are weak or to develop whats not their but to enhance and improve upon the gifts of God bestowed upon you is easy and natural.
This means if you are good at something, like emotional intelligence, teamwork or anything at all then your chances of improving it further will be greater than anyone else and to use such skills in managing yourself and handling situation is crucial for ones success in good and bad times!
To sum it all up we can say that anything can be handled and managed and all the calamities, whether personal or on a larger scale can be dealt with, if one is equipped with tools and skills to survive and succeed!
Happy living :)
