Have trust in God

Q: "These days I am passing through a very thin time. Things are just notin control. The more I try to keep under control the more I get upset. Recently I got a shock of my life. Sam (name changed) whom I sold my old flat. At the time of getting it transferred in his name I had asked him that few of my belongings will remain there till I get my papers, I kept this stipulation before his father and Andrew (a common friend name chaged) categorically. But two days before he called up and insisted that I should remove mygoods. There was some heated argument. The relationship I was tryingto save got spoiled and that too at the cost of my pocket i.e. at the time of transfer of flat I knew the prices have gone up and I had avalid reason not to transfer flat in his name because the deal was subject to receipt of final papers since that I did not want to spoil, I accommodated him and transferred flat in his name even Andrew never warned me. Once the flat was in his name he started showing his true colours. Even Andrew asked me not to make an issue and lift the goods. For the last two days I am very upset, I am trying to keep cool still u know everybody has limited capacity. I really don't understand what to do. Any how this all is my own flat so only I have to suffer. It is just that I wanted to share it, as I am quite upset.
ANS:Thanks for your email. I am fine and hope this email finds you doing well also. All I will tell you is that take it easy. No matter what, you have to keep control of your life. There can be nobody else who can control your circumstances. Only yesterday, I posted a blog on circumstances. Visit www.thoughtssimply.blogspot.com and you will read this blog. All I would ask you to keep in mind is that GOD is having a plan for you and everybody else. Have trust in God's plans and you will not feel thin. Forget about what Sanjay did to you. He broke the promise – he should be worried about this not you. I invite you to keep your stuff at my place and keep your mind at peace. You did keep your promise and transferred the property in his name – feel good about it and GOD will reward you for your goodness. There is another way of having peace of a conflict; especially when there is nothing you can do otherwise. Change your thinking a bit. Instead of blaming Sanjay for not keeping his promise try thanking him for teaching you a lesson that you are not to trust people anymore on their face value. And because he becomes your guru in the capicity as he was successfully able to teach you this lesson. Now it time to pay him his GURUDAKSHNA (fee) for teaching you this important lesson, go ahead and pay him the fee, "thank him for the days that he kept your stuff in his house." You will suddenly feel a relief than rage. Don't feel shock because it will only make things worse for you. Keep calm and keep thinking positively – things will work out. They always do. Once again don't worry – have trust in GOD. God is working with you on all your issues.
