Do what is right. Do your best. Be positive. The rest will follow. You are being tested so that you can be given a bigger role. Never give up. Never lose hope. Never.
I will admit. I am struggling. I wake up each morning to make a fresh beginning and re-organise my life. But as the day progresses, I become so much engrossed in daily chores that I lose sight of my long term goals. I want to choose my own path but end up comparing myself with others. I cover up my lack of courage and inefficiency by giving solace to myself that my current situation is very challenging, though I know everyone has challenges around them. I know I am struggling but I shall overcome it.
She is honest. She is clean. She is simple. She is straight. She is sure. She is caring. She knows her journey which has no destination. She is nobody but it’s hard to resist her. She doesn’t talk much but she gives you her ears. She would prefer to be killed but never defend herself. She doesn’t miss anything but the world will miss her terribly.
There is a mad rush to acquire wealth. We consider wealth to be an endorsement of our achievements. This is because most of us don’t have any thing else to showcase. So, we make wealth our weapon to seek respect. We also make sure to let people be aware of our wealth by displaying it intentionally in many subtle ways. We feel pride by doing this though it may hurt those who don’t possess it. Having wealth is not bad at all. Hurting others by its intentional display is.
At every stage of life, decide a major theme to live. It could be being funny, work, sabbatical, learning, family, entertainment, etc. The world may think you have gone crazy. Don’t care. If they have time to think, this itself means they are following you and in some way, may be inspired by you. When you feel bored, change the theme. There is no need to stick to one philosophy or one theme for an entire life. Mix it up. Spice it up. Live it up.
When you reach a milestone, you will feel glad but to move ahead for the next milestone will be so overwhelming that you may not enjoy the milestone reached. That’s the way life is. It’s a mirage. To want to reach somewhere, only to go somewhere else from there. So, it is important to find balance in our lives and seek happiness and fun in the journey. This part will remain in memory, not the milestones.
Things are pretty simple. We make it sound complicated because that’s what makes us feel like having intellect to the outside world. We take advantage of other persons ignorance to prove our worth. Since we are all doing this day in day out, it has become an accepted norm and the person who tries to remain simple is called a fool. So, the one who was a simple person also makes himself complicated and then we are all equals. And the merry go round keeps on going.
Sometimes, it is good to ignore everything and clean the garbage in life. Everyone is demanding time. Everything is seeking attention. It makes us tired. Though we may sometimes get the feeling of accomplishing things by getting involved, it hardly helps the bigger goals in life. Instant gratification kills worthwhile achievements in the long term. Take a sabbatical from daily chores. Reinvent yourself.
You are unique. Keep it that way. Be inspired but never compare yourself with anyone else. Have a role model but choose your own path. Follow great personalities but become your own leader. There are amazing people out there but you too are awesome. Don’t be too concerned about your imperfections as it makes you the most perfect. You and your soul are a perfect match. Keep it that way.
