This is an interesting post and very motivating and encouraging for all of us. When we undertake some resolution for a change then that is not an easy step. It requires a lot of self-control, patience, and discipline. Most of the time we do not adhere to that proposition and fail to achieve the intended purpose. However, in this particular case, the author had not only taken resolution but also achieved it through constantly pursuing it in his life. I think that is the most interesting and wonderful part of the execution of the resolution. Another thing is that this particular resolution itself is a very tough one and the success achieved shows that the individual has strong willpower to make a change in one's life and that is what counts at the end of the day. I feel delighted about this case history and congratulate the author.

Excellent. ISC has proved to be a very valuable platform and forum section is found to be very useful. I appreciate the author for taking a resolution after reading a thread and achieved peace and he says he is a completely changed man. While offering their views to that threads some of the authors expressed a doubt whether it is practically possible. But, at least one case proved that it is practically possible if you sincerely follow the advice given there.
Practically it is very difficult to keep cool that to when we are in the midst of issues. When some things are happening which are not as per our interest a or liking, if we can keep cool, we will have peace of mind. Today I attended a house warming function. I want to come back early in the evening but my other family members wanted to stay there to finish their dinner. If I insist them to come, there may be come arguments. So I decided that I will come back alone in my son's car leaving car which can accommodate more persons there. The same is conveyed to them and I cam back home and watching the cricket match. Like this if we find ways to avoid arguments we will have peace of mind always.

That's really wonderful and I hope many will give it a try to stay calm. We read and experience many things and wish to implement some of them in our lives but most of the time we fail to take the first step. Yes, the first step is to remain firm to give it a try and then the magic starts. If we fail we need to analyze and then try again but before that one has to do it initially rather than keeping it in their mind.
Thanks, Dhruv. You took the first step to implementing it and of course a big round of applause to Jayshree Rajput for the inspiring post.

I must congratulate the author that he was able to get success through his simple resolution. Though the resolution is simple but equally tough to be implemented in the real practice. Success in this regard shows how seriousness was shown from his side for its real implementation. Initially, he might have found himself in a very tough situation to control his emotions but once the initial days for a week or two pass, it would be no more tough. Now he has achieved the concrete results from his resolution. Many many congratulations from my end for such a tremendous results achieved through his resolution.

Dhruv, it is not a simple resolution that you have taken. Keeping calm always requires lot of patience and determination. One may keep calm at office but may not be so at home or vice-versa. But keeping calm all the time is not easy. Glad that you were inspired by the thread posted by Jayshree and hope that you will be able to maintain your calm always. Please do let us know in case, hope it does not happen, you tend to waver in between. Another important point is that one must not force oneself to be calm always because it can have negative effects on your health.

Thanks, everyone for all your encouraging words. That I have been able to achieve it is really a miracle for me. I was expecting that this silent resolution of mine will last for a few weeks or at the most a month. But it's the third month running and things are just fine. Yes Saji, I will let know in case I waver and things get back to square one. However, as of now, I am not having to make much of an effort in keeping my cool. Seems, slowly but steadily I am getting used to it. Hope, I can really be a changed person.

I will like to add that if a person is really interested in making a change in one's life then it is possible. Only thing is in the beginning some strong will and self control is required and then later it has to be sustained by some incremental efforts day by day. Sustaining is the crucial part of this process because if a change is achieved for a small period then it is a temporary change and will not be a life turning event. Most of the people achieve change but it is seen that they are not able to sustain it or preserve it in its new form. So a complete change in the behavioural and interpersonal thinking is required. Many management and scholarly books advise us to do that in a variety of ways and using various methods but it is the individual only who can exercise it wholeheartedly and get the result. So ultimately it is the power and positive energy in 'Me' that makes a difference in such cases.

Yes, agree, with willpower and positivity we can definitely achieve what seems impossible in the first instance. No good starting something until and unless you are into it for the long haul. It becomes easier to sustain when you start liking or loving the change.
