“Be Good”, “Do Good” and “See Good” - Swami Vivekananda
"Be Good":
To think positively and to survive happily everybody has to inculcate these three. It is essential to “be” good when we expect others to be also good with us. Even if the other person is not behaving positively with us, we have to “be” good with them, then naturally as the time is passing they retrospect themselves and “be” good with us too. If someone is not responding positively to us it doesn’t mean that we should be contradictory towards them. Always remember that only positive approach brings a tremendous change in the world.
"Do Good":
“Do” Good, never find faults with others and do harm to them. If you can’t help them better don’t criticise or creating any unfavourable conditions which may cause any harm to them. It is always better to remember before doing some action to others. Think twice, if you are confident that it does not do any harm then you can continue your action. Dalai Lama said, “ Happiness is not something ready-made. It Comes from your own actions”. Yes, Our happiness is always linked to our own actions.
"See Good":
The face is a mirror of our mind wherein our eyes reflect secrets of our heart. So always “See” Good". As the saying goes, time is a wonderful way of showing us what really matters and shall never return once gone. We are all blessed with eyes, so use them to see good. When there is something wrong happening if you do something good, better do it, if not don’t keep watching and making stories out of it.
To lead a meaningful life ahead, “be good”, “ do good” and “see good”.
