6 Thoughts on Going Beyond Hurt | How to overcome Hurt feelings
The process!
- Someone says something to us
- in response, we create thoughts like:
- “How could they say this to me?”
- “Am I like this?”
- “They always say like this to me”
- etc
- These thoughts create the feeling of hurt… And this hurt takes away our happiness!
How to overcome Hurt feelings
Hence, let’s overcome hurt! … By remembering:
- The main realization “Others can say what they want, but hurt is my creation”… Indeed no one can get inside me, I’m the Creator of my thoughts & feelings
- They said to me once, but how many times did I tell the same to myself within?
- If someone’s wrong words can hurt us, why can’t we remember someone’s good words at that time to uplift ourselves?
- We all know some people around, who keep getting hurt for no apparent reason… This again proves hurt is our own internal creation
- By remaining hurt, we’re actually reducing our efficiency at work, harmony in other relations, etc
- Compassion (i.e., the understanding, that the other person is in more pain) instantly finishes hurt!… Going beyond expectations also finishes hurt
Conclusion (How to overcome Hurt feelings)
Hence let’s overcome hurt… To remain happy always & keep sharing happiness with all!

What are Expectations?
Expectations just means “I’ll be happy, if you do this”… Hence otherwise, I’m unhappy & you’re the cause of my pain!
Hence while it might seem normal to expect, it actually introduces a dependency within, hence doesn’t allow us to remain happy always!
How to overcome Expectations
We can overcome expectations, by remembering thoughts like:
- When we can’t meet up to others’ expectations always, how can they?
- We expect based on our background & sanskars, which may not necessarily always be easy & comfortable for them!
- Indeed sometimes we can expect things from others, which might be completely beyond their imagination!
- Relations doesn’t mean give & take, it means to only give & give (love, respect, trust, etc)… And the more we give, the more their experience keeps increasing within us, & we remain very full!
- Expectations directly lead to hurt… Hence, becoming free from expectations automatically keeps us free from hurt!… And there’s no limit to expectations!
Conclusion (How to overcome Expectations)
Hence, let’s shift from expectations to acceptance, to experience a life of peace & happiness always!

Going Beyond Competition | 6 Thoughts on how to overcome Competition
The feeling of competition creates a lot of stress (infact, it’s the easiest way to experience stress!)… Hence, let’s overcome competition, by remembering thoughts like:
- There’ll always be someone or the other ahead of us, in some aspect or the other
- Even after becoming No. 1, many remain under stress for maintaining that position!
- In competition, we tend to ignore many other equally important aspects of life (peace of mind, health, work, relations, ethics, etc), only to regret later!
- The word competition is actually meant for games & sports, not for life!
- Competition is only possible when all input parameters are the same… Hence, since we come with very different past birth karmic accounts, competition is actually never possible
- Even in an actual race, we’re taught to focus on our own game, not to look at others!
Conclusion (How to overcome Competition)
Hence, let’s compete with ourselves, thus keep increasing our capacity & efficiency!
