All our lives , we want to be someone else . Be like someone else . Live like someone else . What we have , What we are , suddenly comes across as of no value . Suddenly whatever is not there with us , becomes of high importance . Where does this end ? To logically come to think of it , each time you acquire what you think you want to have , it becomes what you already have . The moment it becomes what you “already have” , it has no value .
Start appreciating what you have . This really does not mean that one should stop thriving to get more .It doesn’t mean one should sit in a corner of the room complacent about things .
If the thrust for knowing , learning , acquiring in life is not present , it would be a life without passion . & Life without passion is a living death .
Focus is not on “Acquiring is bad “... but the focus is more on “appreciating what you have “ . What we learnt as a kid, worked then. What our parents taught us, is of high importance as they are their experience in their situations, which form the base our our thinking. But they can’t be used as in and same. The feeling/intention/emotion behind these experiences need to be understood clearly and respected. Situations that we are in now are far more different than what our elders were in . A decision taken 20 years back may look valid then, may not now.
The essence of the moment is “Learning –Unlearning – Re learning “It gives you the scope to understand yourself better. Remove oneself of the unnecessary guilt, makes life a lighter and beautiful place to live.
Only if you want to be acting all your life – professionally – you need to be yourself somewhere , take pride in your existence , feel comfortable with yourself , only then it becomes as smooth as a snake , to slide into a character mould – a character mould at corporate , in organization , consultancy , movies , or any other profession – where nobody is actually interested in seeing the original you on the result .
Do not be the master of your mind . Try to be your mind’s best friend . Guide it through . Lovingly . As you would , for a loved entity /person of yours . At the end of the day , its”your” mind . You possess it . Value it . Be gentle to it . Love it . Let the process of understanding be more friendly rather than despise, remorse,self loathing & guilt.
Easier said than done?? – agreed ! People say “ When you ll fall into it , then ill ask you how much you would implement !! “ – True again . But is it important to claim ? Accept it . Agree that when you are in a situation you cant see , but at the same time accept & trust your people to pull you out of it, accept you need help , agree that you want to try out a different solution .
Its not a sure shot – But at the end of day – what is a sure shot ? If you wouldn’t appreciate yourself, nobody would ever appreciate you .
Modesty is a virtue & overconfidence is disrespectful. In my version of understanding , Modesty is required, overconfidence workable & boasting – loathful.
When I am shit , I see shit , even when i know that there is gold somewhere in a remote place , i still feel shit , as I am in it . Trust someone at that time , you know is seeing the gold more clearly than you .
Calm waters think deep , show you your own reflection . A thing in the busy time , we don’t do , and when calm , don’t know “how” to do .
Stay Hungry – Stay Foolish !! One life – handful of beautiful friends- one set of parents , one love –one shot – live beautiful – feel beautiful- Stay beautiful!
