Some people need the weather to be alright to be happy, but there are others who carry the weather with them.
In other words, it doesn’t matter—every day is a Friday.
How do you develop that attitude?
What is it that enables some people to master their emotions and always be happy?
One husband and wife went to India. And when you go to India, you have to meet 500 relatives. They are all of different kinds—Mama, Mami, Dada, Dadi. Some of them are very sour in nature.
The wife kept complaining to her husband about her Nana—his fourth cousin sister.
“You know today she said this to me… I smiled at her and she didn’t even smile back…”
Finally, the husband said:
“My dear wife, I agree. She is not behaving well. You are right—she should behave better.
However, her behavior is not in my hands, and there is nothing I can do about it.
If you want peace of mind, you will have to learn to tolerate that behavior.”
So what is he saying?
The externals are not in our hands.
What do you need to be happy?
A big bungalow? A Cadillac? A bank balance with seven zeroes?
Even if you had all that—is there a guarantee you’d be happy?
Actually not.
It is all a matter of your attitude.
Attitudes are so powerful, they can make heaven out of hell and hell out of heaven.
Let me tell you a story.
There were two patients in the ICU of a hospital—both critically ill and bedridden.
They developed a deep bond over days—sharing stories of their childhood, marriage, children—everything under the sun.
One of them had his bed next to the only window. For one hour each day, he was made to sit up, and he would describe to his friend what he saw outside.
“There’s a garden below, with a fountain and a pool.
Little children sit by the ledge and chat, old ladies bask in the sun, ducks waddle, sometimes even geese land nearby.”
Occasionally, he’d describe a procession with people playing musical instruments and throwing roses.
The second patient loved that one hour. The lively stories were such a beautiful contrast to the dreary hospital—its smell of medicines and sterile surroundings.
But then, one day, a dark thought crept into the second patient’s mind:
“Why does he get all the fun and not me?
Why is God unfair to me?”
He could’ve rejected the thought, but he didn’t.
It began festering within him, filling him with negativity toward his friend.
One night, the first patient started coughing. It sounded like he was suffocating.
The second patient could’ve pressed the emergency bell… but instead, he thought:
“He’s suffering? Good. He deserves it.”
The first patient coughed more… and then… silence.
Next morning, medical staff removed the body.
A few days passed.
Then the second patient requested:
“Can my bed be moved next to the window?”
The staff said yes. Once there, he said:
“I’m well enough now. Please help me sit for an hour.”
When he sat and looked out the window, what did he see?
The second wing of the hospital.
Confused, he asked:
“Where’s the garden? The pool? The ducks?”
They replied:
“That was the beauty of his own mind.
That’s what he chose to see.”
The world is the same for all of us.
What you choose to see… that is your freedom.
Saints in this very world saw God.
Now, we may not be at that stage—but at the very least, we can choose to see the good, and cheer up our own thoughts.
As the saying goes:
“Two men looked out of prison bars.
One saw the mud… the other saw the stars.”
They were both in prison, both looking out.
The world was the same.
But what they were seeing was the choice they were making.
💡 The attitudes you choose are in your hands.
This freedom to choose—this is your power.
