Doing the right thing

This post is linked to the previous one on turning over a new leaf. Sometimes doing the right thing is not always the easy decision. In fact many times doing the right thing is a lot harder than doing the wrong thing. Doing the right thing requires effort on our part to conquer our own fears and those of the people around us. Sometimes doing the right thing means sacrificing something that we would have liked to have or felt that we deserved. But, in the end Kanha will reward us many times more for doing what was right and He will help us to recover from the disappointment and perhaps hurt that we experience when we deny ourselves something to do the right thing. For example, if we are suffering from high cholesterol or heart disease or kidney disease or many other illnesses we will not be allowed to consume certain foods that make us happy. But, by doing the right thing we are taking care of ourselves for the long run. Kanha will reward us with good health and minimum pain. He will help us to heal and He will keep us safe. Let us try to do the right thing in little ways in our lives, even today. Jai Shri Krishna!
