I Deserve The Best

Few days back my mother made very yummy "Laddus"(traditional Indian sweet) and offered to one of our family friend who dropped in. He enjoyed eating the sweet and gave so many compliments on my mother's cooking skills and said this sweet is much tastier than any "Laddu" they buy from reputed sweet houses in city. Then my mom gently refused the compliment saying she is not that great cook, and she too experiments often while cooking, like any other home maker . The next day my dad's aunt came to our house and my mother again offered "Laddus" to the guests. Surprisingly, my daddy's aunty said that sugar is not sufficiently added in the sweet, not fried properly and could have been better. My mother was so upset on this whole process and said she should not make sweets from now on, if made also should not be offering to people who criticise. If any one can connect with this incident, they understand the pain very well.

But here, I want to showcase the story from other angle, I.e. from nature's point of view. In the first incident, my mom has not accepted the compliments totally though she loved to hear that people like her cooking; the reason behind this is we always have question in our mind " do I deserve this" or " I don't deserve so much praise". But once you reject these accolades coming from nature, you are restricting your next compliment by default, hence she was bonud to hear the negetive side of it.

I am trying to say one important point here, using the above story; we should believe that we deserve every best thing in this world. Let you be a home maker, an employee or holding a senior position in an MNC, you have to believe that you deserve more importance, more attention and much more praise in every right thing you do.

Since ages, Women have been condoned in such a way that "being good means putting yourself last". That's the reason, women's choices, openions and decisions were kept last. However, we have crossed that stage and moving ahead and able to express our likes and dislikes.. But still we have people around us, who feel guilty whenever they do some thing for self. This kind of thought process leads to a conflict and from there to inferiority.

To avoid such damage, we need to have a strong belief that"We deseerve the best". Deserving a beautiful life is not fantasy or illusion at all,it does exist and for everyone.
