Image: Pleasant
Be pleasant until ten in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
Elbert Hubbard
Have you not come across people who are very pleasant to move with? I am sure you have. Such people carry a constant smile on their face. They do not get irritated. They do not shout at people around them. You would also come across people who are just the opposite of the above image. I have come across people who get angry even for small things.
If you are a perfectionist you may feel disappointed even if the reality is little short of your standards and you may get irritated. Similarly if your expectations are high, you are in for disappointments, small or big. We also imbibe such traits from our parents.
A pleasant personality is an attractive quality. By practice we can unlearn and change this trait if we are sincere since it involves attitude change. You cannot fake a pleasant personality by putting on a pleasant facial expression!
Here is one idea. For the next twenty one days, be conscious about your inner feelings and outer behaviour. Whenever you are about to flare up, control yourself and calm down. Try this for an hour to start with and slowly increase the duration. You will notice a change in yourself!
