The Mirror Within: How I Found Peace in Just 48 Hours

By Dr. Abhishek Gilara

Let me share something personal with you—something that changed my mindset in just 48 hours.

Two days ago, I was troubled by someone’s behaviour toward me. I even asked, “Why does this person keep behaving like this with me?” It felt frustrating. I was looking for advice, hoping someone could give me the right words or solution.

But what I found instead was a mirror—and the answer was within.

The real solution? Controlling my inner self and learning to calmly handle what’s happening outside. That shift made all the difference.

Earlier, my natural response was to either ignore the person or feel emotionally affected. But now, I’ve made a conscious decision: to understand him instead of resisting him. His behaviour isn’t a hurdle—it’s a part of my growth path. Maybe I was meant to deal with this, to rise above it, and to grow stronger because of it.

I’ve even started treating him as my responsibility—not in a burdensome way, but as a lesson. I now think: Can I help him feel understood? Can I be patient, even when it’s tough?

And believe me, the moment I shifted this perspective, good things started happening. Peace came in. My energy stopped leaking. New clarity and confidence followed.

So here’s my message to anyone facing something similar: sometimes peace doesn’t come from changing the other person… it comes from upgrading your own lens.

That’s how inner mastery begins.
