Don't Go And Kill Yourself - Read This First

 

And He Told Me - Everything Is Going To Be Alright

Three of us were already in the elevator waiting for it to close and be on the upward swing, and just as it was about to do that, five guys rushed in, completing the number, the three of us already in the elevator moved over and made room. One of the guys stood right next to me and then the door closed and the elevator started its upward journey.

I was heading to the 30th Floor, didn't know who else was heading there as I was alone with my thoughts.

Suddenly, one of the guys that came in last the guy next to me said - "Let's all hold hands together and it will all be all right."

Everyone laughed. I thought maybe he was a Preacher or some Comedian or something like that and I just involuntarily responded

"No it won't."

He turned to me and laughed.

He and his friends started talking a bit.

We were crossing the 5th Floor when he said something again and everyone laughed - I did not catch that because I was far away from there (in my thoughts that is) and then he leaned to me and said. "There are some strange people in this elevator," and he pointed at his friends.

I said, "It might not be a good idea to make friends in elevators." He laughed.

We landed on the eight floor and two persons went out. When we got to the fifteenth Floor, the guy next to me and his friends got ready to exit and then just as he was about to do that, he took my hand and shook it and said to me - "It's going to be alright."

Then he rushed out of the elevator.

I was pleasantly shocked at his action - I did not act friendly, we were not acquainted, could not even exchange names but he still must have read my mind to know that I was troubled or maybe my demeanour must have impressed that upon him.

Those words of his - "it's going to be alright" - brought some comfort to me at that moment

And ever since then, whenever I am stressed about something — if business is a mess one day, if I'm nervous on a program, if I'm late for an important appointment...

If someone in my family is upset at me. If I'm afraid about money, or I feel over-stressed about my schedule...

I always tell myself it's going to be alright.

And I always feel relief. For a brief moment it always feels true. Like I just surrendered to the Universal Force.

The world is in a slump right now, the advent of corona virus has changed the way we used to live and enjoy our lives.

Companies are folding up, people are losing their jobs, so much stress in homes right now, personal economies have been shattered and it does appear like the last days are here - well I don't know about the last days but what I do know is that - soon everything is going to be alright

So when you feel like the whole weight of the world is on your shoulders, when you look into the horizon and you can't see anything, when you think of the future and all you see is fear, relax, don't kill yourself for nothing - this too shall pass and everything will be alright again

Use this as a mantra and you would get out of stress quickly and easily
