Do Not Be Moody

Many people suffer because they are victims of their moods. Moody persons become easily depressed & unhappy, they become gloomy, short tempered, disagreeable & discouraged because they are unable to control their feelings & cannot face difficult situations bravely. They get into bad moods over small matters such as the bad weather or because they did not get their cup of tea. They feel morose because they are hurt by an innocent remark made by someone.

One never knows how to deal with a moody person because his state of mind keeps on changing so much. When he is in good humour, he will be optimistic, amiable & cheerful. He will readily agree to new plans; he will be bubbling with energy & will be willing to help anyone. But when he is in one of his bad moods; he becomes pessimistic, sullen, sour, unkind & discourteous. He infects others with his      gloom as a result, people try to avoid him.

A person who is touchy is always prone to moods. He feels that no matter what he dose, where he goes, or what he says, he is the center of everyone’s interest. As a result of his sensitivity, he becomes moody, irritable, dejected & disheartened.

If you are slave to your moods, you can never do your best. When things go wrong, you should think of the brighter side of life .The best way to keep out darkness is to switch on the light. The best way of shutting out depressing thoughts is to think of happy beautiful things. A person who smiles when things go wrong has a great advantage over those who cannot.

The next time you feel depressed & unhappy, try & analyse the reasons of your depression. If the cause of your feeling sad can be removed, put your best effort to do so. If it is something you can do nothing about, count the things in your life, laugh & play with your friends, see a cartoon, or read a funny book.  

An anonymous poet has said,

For every problem under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there’s none;
If there be one, you must find it,
If there be none, never mind it.
