Why???

My brother fell and couldn't walk. He was badly hurt. He had dance practice that day and also a cricket match scheduled for the weekend. He was upset , not because his leg hurt but because he couldn't go for practice and thought he might miss the chance to dance for the event. I kept telling him to stay positive. I kept telling him that it is nothing and that he will be over it soon. That he should think clearly and all those things.

That's when a thought struck me. When someone else is going through some difficulty, we think how they should stay positive and not give up hope. But why don't we believe in the same things when we are in the same situations? This is a question I have been trying to find an answer to.

 See if you can ponder over this and try to analyse if you can stay in the same state of mind when you are going through something in life???
