The effort must stop. Life must be lived effortlessly. Today is certain. Tomorrow is unknown. Still, to improve the quality of life tomorrow we unknowingly compromise on today. We mostly spend our today’s to build our tomorrow’s. To a certain extent it is acceptable. However, if we are able to make every day the best, tomorrow will take care of itself. Live as if tomorrow will never come. And one day it will come true.
Being positive is good. However, I don’t always want to pretend positivity. There are times I am depressed. There are times when I am not optimistic. There are times I want to cry when things don’t work out. During some of these times, I don’t want to become a machine and practice positivity. I don’t want to convince myself that things will change soon. I just want to feel the hurt. I want to witness unfavorable things and get upset. I just want to cover my face and cry.
Things won’t always be same. Good times will follow challenging times and you should be ready for tough times when you thought you were cruising smoothly. That’s life. It is how we respond to circumstances is the real test. We generally tend to credit ourselves for good times and blame others when things don’t go right. That’s not the best thing to do. Stay calm in all situation and respect life.
People who flaunt their style, wealth and power in public generally suffer from deep identity crisis. They somewhere have a feeling of lacking self accomplishment in life which results in lack of confidence. Deep inside they feel a void which they try to fulfill by showing their material possessions to the world. This feeds their self esteem. People who are full inside don’t show off. It is done by those who want outside acknowledgement.
Have a purpose in life. May be, have someone as a purpose of life. It gives direction to life. The biggest obstacle to this is the fear of what if the choice we make is proved wrong. Don’t let this fear come in your way. It is not necessary to know or do everything. All scientist may not be able to make a breakthrough invention. All sportsmen may not win tournaments. All painters may not become Picasso. Still, the satisfaction of making your own choice and pursuing it will give you the much needed meaning in life.
There is so much excess in life. There is an human urge to accumulate, preserve and hold. Most of it is never used. When we do this, our ability and possibility to find and explore new things diminish. There is so much to see. There is so much to learn. You can go up the hill only when you let go of the plains.
Think about this. If you have to choose between the two what will you choose? To be cared or to care for others. The choice is obvious. However, in every day lives, we get hurt when we find others taking us for granted or when we don’t get acknowledged for doing good to others. We feel like giving up the good work of caring for our near and dear ones and the world at large. Don’t stop. The world needs people like you; who are making a difference in other people’s life. Keep going.
You may think I have a perfect life but you are wrong. I am just like you; imperfect. I just give you an impression that I am better than you. I do this to feel nice and feed my ego. It is satisfying when you give acknowledge my superiority. However, this kills me when I am alone. Infact, I am inspired by you and so I try to become like you. I am trying hard to be my natural self. One day I will.
A request can get things done that authority can’t. Simplicity can solve problems that complexity can’t. Raindrops can make cracks that stones can’t. Humility can win hearts that power can’t. Love can do magic that hate can’t.
I like perfection in a few things. Apart from them, I am too bad in too many things. I mess things up. And I love it. So much so that now I don’t even try to improve. I don’t do it intentionally. It’s my natural self. I am amazed to know there are so many things I don’t know but rather than disturbing, it gives me calmness. I don’t know why but there is a smile on my face each time I mess things up as if I am balancing my perfections with imperfections.
