Who actually is your best friend?

As soon as you read this title, I'm sure you'll be thinking about one or two people as to who your best friend is. But No, I here am talking about the best friend who was with you all these years since your birth.

There was once a priest in a town who always used to address and advice the problems and needs of the people in the town. On a particular day when the priest was walking back home after his session of addressing the problems of people, a little girl stopped him on the way to ask him a question.
The priest for a moment thought of asking the girl to come and meet him next day morning as he was very tired but seeing the innocence on the girl’s face he thought he will answer the girl and took the girl to a place where they could sit. When the priest asked what the girl wanted to know, the girl asked, “You give solutions to many people when they face problems, many people today are free from their problems and are happy. I want to know what you do when you face problems. Do you go to anyone? ” 

The priest was shocked to know that such a small girl was asking such a big question that no one ever had asked the priest. The priest smiled and said, “I go to my best friend when I face problems!”

“Oh! You have a best friend? Who is he/she?” the girl asked curiously.

The priest held his hand over the girl’s head and told, “Very often, we support people around us with various solutions to their problems but when we analyse this process properly we never realise we have solution within us. But the problem is many people fail to recognise that when they can be a solution provider for others, they also can be a solution provider for themselves.”

This is so exciting! How does this go?
You got to become your best friend for it. When you have time for others, why don’t you have time for yourself? Spend atleast 10 minutes a day with yourself. Start analysing your day to day activities and you’ll live your life then not as a ‘Problem finder’ but as a ‘Solution giver’. I have to leave now, I’ll meet you sometime later as a great person. Win World by Love” he wished and left.

Very often we give advises and support people around us with various solutions to their problems but when we face problems we don't know what to do and we consult others for solutions. Ever wondered why that happens? 
We get to spend so much time with others and eventually end up not spending time with ourselves. 
Just spend atleast 10 minutes a day with yourself from today and start analyzing your day to day activities. Become your own best friend, find solutions to your problems and you'll start living a happy loving life. 

Finally  “WINWORLDBYLOVE”.

  3. Rightly said. I remember the words of Swamy Vivekanandnanda " If you don't talk to yourself for atleast 10 mins a day, you have lost the opportunity of meeting a wonderful person". Well articulated.
