Last month i met a small boy of about 10 years while on a trip to Southern parts of India, who told me that he got tensed and felt stress when he lost in games and i was supposed to help him come out of the stress.
I asked him, "how do you come out of stress? you are not stressed all the time. you seem to be happy most of the time".
He said, "I don't know, I just forget stress after some time."
One solution he told for coming out of stress is to forget stress and you will be happy. it was so simple but profound lesson. As adults, it becomes difficult for us to forget like children do because of deeper attachments. One can to overcome these attachments by practicing regular and systematic meditation.
I asked him, "do you like learning to play the game better or new game?"
He said "Yes. I feel happy when i learn something new"
I said, "when ever you loose try to learn what you need to learn to win. when you learn you will never become stressed for loosing. You will be happy because you have learned some thing new."
when we feel we are loosing in life it is because we are not focusing on learning. we can never loose anything when we learn something. We fail some times because we attempted to do something which we have not yet learned. when we learn we go closer to success. Then it is said "Every failure is the stepping stone to success". we can always remain happy by learning to learn from every failure. Once we practice this then there is no reason or place for misery, stress or loosing in life. This is the simple way to be happy. Learn a new lesson and be happy. Boy was satisfied.
