Have you been in a situation when you felt like doing something but did something else instead?

Did you feel frustrated and angry because you felt compelled to do something that was not what you wanted?

In life, we often come across situations where our needs and desires take a back seat because we have to meet the expectations of others. 

When we do not share our thoughts and express our emotions, a deep dissatisfaction creeps into our minds. Our behaviours and attitudes towards others change, and feelings of deprivation creep into our life. 

We become like a watermelon that is green from the outside by red from the inside. 

Our unmet needs, desires and emotions keep growing inside while we show a different picture to the outside world. If we do not express what we want and tell others our expectations and desires, the watermelon effect can become our life. 

The best way to deal with such situations is to be explicit about how we feel. 

Another critical thing to remember is that we always have the resources to succeed. 

All we need is to understand our power and focus on what we want. 

If we create win-win situations, and our higher purpose supports the best for everyone involved, then the watermelon effect goes away. 

What if, only for today, you promise yourself to be explicit about your needs and desires? 

What if, only for today, you decide to express what’s on your mind? 

What if this was the only way to live a life of happiness, prosperity and abundance? 

What should you do:

• Practice daily gratitude and be thankful for what you have. 
• Practice daily meditation and be in charge of your emotions and feelings. 
• Practice thinking your thoughts and focusing on what you want. 
• Practice expressing your views in words and sharing your feelings with people you trust.
