What are you waiting for? Challenging situations and circumstances won’t ever go away. At best, they might change. If you keep waiting, you will hit the end of your time on earth. Start your dream journey today. There is no perfect start. Being early in itself is an advantage. Don’t worry about success. It’s a done thing. Regret of not attempting is worse than failing. Even if you fall short of target, you will be happy you atleast took the shot.
A little knowledge with a high integrity is far better than being an expert with low integrity. Knowledge can be acquired but integrity cannot be learned. It has to be practiced. It needs a very high level of courage to apply integrity. Once trust is established, things move at the speed of light. Competence is important but integrity is absolutely critical for attaining peace and success.
Sometimes, you will feel you are living two lives. One for the world and one for yourself. At times, you will struggle to justify both. At times, you will have some guilt about this too. It’s pretty natural. Make peace with this. We all live two lives; though we may not accept it publicly. Don’t fight. Let this happen. Eventually, you will find your calling which way to walk.
I have realised I am no good at teaching and guiding anyone with surety. Everyone is different. Most people are more intelligent than me. They possess extraordinary power and ability to transform their life. When they ask for guidance, I try to guide them but it may do more harm than good. It may kill their originality. I have no right to ask them to change course or approve them. They must find their way on their own. Still, I take pride in the fact that they seek my advice. It’s time I give it up.
Whenever I get into a discussion with somebody I get too obsessed with myself. When someone criticizes me, I get defensive. Winning the argument is on top of my mind. Many a times, I go too far to prove my point just to protect my ego. The target becomes to teach rather than learn from the other persons perspective. After all this ends, I feel guilty of my attitude and approach. I promise to improve next time. The next time is no different. Till when?
There are so many options. There are so many opportunities. Each time I choose a way, the other route attracts me. I don’t want to miss out on anything. This is not doing any good to me. I am not able to focus. The fear of losing out on something is more than winning at something. I also know I can’t win at everything. My human urge is difficult to contain. I am trying.
I don’t want to hide or conceal but I even don’t want to flaunt or show. I don’t have much to talk about but whatever I have I want to keep it under the wraps. There is no urge to let the world know about my qualities or my achievements. There is a strong sense developing to underplay such things. To live like a nobody gives me a feeling of living like a king.
Health, family and time are three most important things that we need to focus on. Unfortunately, these are the things many of us take for granted. If health is lost, it may never be reversed. Take control of it now and always. Family is the essence of our lives. Love them and take care of them always. Finally, our time is limited. Spend it wisely. Use it on big goals. Use it for leisure. Other things are important too but if we take care of these three things, we will cover the most of it.
It will take time. It will take a lot of time. You will have to bear a lot of pain. There would be a lot of sufferings. Then only you will find peace. Then only you will find the answers to all your questions. You can’t give up in between, else you will have to start the journey again. There is no other way. You don’t need to walk this road if you don’t desire, but you will. Because, sooner or later, you will have questions. Because, sooner or later, you will want peace.
Never underestimate yourself. There is nothing wrong in being inspired by other people but don’t ever consider yourself not worthy. Everyone has a good side and a bad side. We look upon the good side of someone and get inspired while we look at our ugly side and feel bad. Don’t do this. Look at your brighter side. You have got a talent which is unique in the world. Find it. Be your own inspiration.
