Dare to challenge 🙋

What is the point behind this whole drama named life?

What are we looking for?

We are working hard day and night and even trying to decode this drama in dreams just to prove some point to this world? But are we happy and enthusiastic while going through this process?

We may sometimes accept things the way they are because that looks normal and acceptable at that point of time.

But as we pass through various twist and turns of life, there develop a sense of disenchantment somewehere deep within the layers of our mind. It takes time and experience for mind to understand that our inner self is challenging our worn out belief system and asking for fresh breeze to wipe out the vestigial layers of self.

There will always be some kind of hurdles in life which will challenge our belief system and mould our minds to weave new patterns so as to evolve and find ways to face life with a brand new perspective.

We are growing with every passing experience

We realise it or not, but life is testing, teaching and evolving us simultaneously.

If we look back and introspect, we will find a remarkable shift in our personality over a period of time. That is the beauty of change. What was a harsh reality for me yesterday seems like a fable today.

Just visit your past. Go back to your childhood days and observe yourself.

How did u feel then?

Majority of us were very content (if we don’t count the unfortunate childhood of some) because there was no responsibility or conditioning of outer world over our psyche. We were free in our minds and happy in our thoughts.

But as we grew up, we had to fit in various cultures and groups. We all have some inherent unique talents but majority of time we tend to suppress them as its not bound to be successful because society has made up it’s mind to exist in a particular manner.

Life is turning into a fashion show where we have to follow the trends, because its acceptable and looks good on outer side. But we never see the pain and sufferings behind these glistening facades of show business.

It require nerves to have your own individual choices away from established system. You will then not only be discouraged first but also made to feel low about self.

Who will take the risk to be borderlined?

Majority won’t…

Now when we are at this juncture of life, where we can dare to make a point even though it doesn’t satisfy masses, we still can go ahead and at least try to carve a line for self. Thats where the shift begins from the old usual accepted common ways of living and thinking.

What seemed normal before now wants to break the ceiling and fly away from the fixed structure.

Life is a challenge and one must dare to accept it

Observe people all around you. Just look at their lives. Forget self for a moment.

What is common in their lives?

How they are living and working?

How they deal with people generally at home or work?

How do they feel when they are sitting alone or doing nothing?

What is the goal they want to achieve? Have they achieved it or given up or still working hard to reach there?

After achieving their goals how they are feeling ?

And after failing how they are coping?

Web of humans weaves a pattern of their thoughts, conditions, desires, dreams, pain and failure.

Can we sit for half an hour without getting trapped in any type of emotional turmoil?

Can we sit alone in complete solitude with immense joy within?

Just be !!🤗

If we can, then all this time we are spending on this planet is worth it. Every part of journey good or bad is beautiful and meaningful.

But if we can’t sit with self even for half an hour with joy in our heart, we humans should definitely change the way we think and live.

Mask of happiness can’t bring joy within. We will have to settle the surge of uncontrolled emotions running amok within and then bring that serenity out.

We are not here to prove any point to anyone but to realise who we are! It’s not a battle of ego to prove one’s point over other, but a place to exist with authenticity and joy.

One can help other only by uplifting self first.

Life is a continuous challenge and there are unlimited mysteries all around us to unfold. One must take a risk to challenge self and step beyond a line.

I personally believe once we start appreciating our own intelligence instead of accepting world and its ideas blindly, we can surely open gates of heaven for self.

Life is not a material race to prove one’s superiority over other, but it’s a much better and intelligent process to evolve self beyond any fixed belief system.

And that change start from within 🌷🌷💓💓🌷🌷🌷💓💓🌷🌷
