No 4. Let it be
Life story: Years back, I was asked to deliver a
speech in front of a distinguished guest. My director instructed me to prepare
well. He gently reminded me that my performance would portray the reputation of
the institute. I took enough preparation. But, I made some simple errors while delivering
the speech. I felt I had dishonoured my director. I was quite sure that he
would scold me for the errors. I was so disturbed that I went to him to ask
pardon. But to my great surprise he smilingly said, “let it be. It is past now.
Do your best next time.” This was for the first time, that the simple
expression, “let it be” brought a lot of consolations to me. I was inspired to
do well next time.
There are successes and failures in our life. Every
success rejuvenates us, while every failure makes us digressed. Though successes
and failures are part of life, we find extremely difficult to accept our
failures. The repercussion of failure leads us to give up everything even to the
extent that some people want to get away with life.
One of the best ways, to accept the failure is to have
the attitude of ‘let it be’. The attitude of ‘let it be’ helps us to forget the
failures. In a more simplistic term, it means ‘why worry about every little
thing. Just enjoy the life.’ If we have the disposition of ‘let it be’ then
many problems of our life will be automatically resolved. It helps us to live a
happier life.
So, let’s make a decision to have an attitude of ‘let
it be’. It will make a huge difference in life...
