Before I begin writing on this topic, I would like to thank all of you for being such treasured readers! Each one of you, known and unknown to me, have showered me with appreciations so great that i can't believe it's me! :p I would like to specially thank my friend Apu (Apurva), who made it to the semi-finals of India's Got Talent 6 (huge congrats!). She always surprises me in different ways. She is indeed a gift to me and I hope all of you get friends who make you feel happy to be alive and kickin'! :)
"Be the best person you look forward to meet"
We've heard the above a million times, in different ways. But we simply don't wanna pay heed as we are too comfortable where and how we are! The saddest truth of our age is that most of us live in 'self-deprival' modes.
Did you know that almost 7% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with depression? (Source: https://bbrfoundation.org/depression) Depression is the most common mental ailment in the US. And these my dear friends! Are the statistics of the largest economy of the world! (Source: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/022415/worlds-top-10-economies.asp) Can you envision what must be the mental health of people who barely manage to scrape one meal a day?
If your reading this, I am sure you are lucky enough to get your meals on time and can afford much more. The point in discussion is, that no matter how rich economies and people get, many of them are lonely, hollow inside, sleepless, sad, complaining and wanting to run away from life, if given a chance. Many of them sadly give in and end their lives, when a million unfortunate ones dream of a life they once lived. It is sad but true, that even when you sit out there and complain or are angry at your life or god, there are millions who are praying to have the job that you have or to live in the house that you live in or to have the love of the family you have. You just have to open your eyes to the blessings that surround you! And believe me, they are countless!
Now, coming to the topic of this post- How do we go higher and go beyond? To rise above and beyond, we need to rise from our old belief systems and reprogram our minds with a software that serves us! If you are happy and content with the life you live, you needn't even read further! :) For the others, it is important that a serious reprogramming be done(If and only if you wish to lead a better life for your own good).
Nobody but your soul( or mind or whatever you choose to call it), is the greatest teacher you can have! Nobody taught you how to breathe when you were born, nobody taught you how to swallow your food down. Thus, the soul is the greatest source of knowledge that you have, the only thing to do is connect to it and tap that knowledge source. Be honest and try asking yourself, 'when was the last time I met myself?' I'm sure most of us don't even know what meeting our own self means!
Let me make it a little simple for you - When you sit in the quiet of your mind, when you have no noise to disturb you(not even the noise of waste, day-to-day thoughts), when you can feel your feelings, THAT is being with yourself. When that quiet is within you, you just want to live in that peace for hours. It's a high no other drug can give! When your conscious mind is quiet, the subconscious takes over. This subconscious is the soul - a powerhouse of knowledge and wisdom. When you activate it, it becomes the manifester of all your desires and gives you an immense sense of power. You can catch the vibes of people around you and become wise enough to judge and take decisions that serve you best.
It is not some impossible, crazy ideas that I am sharing with you. It is my experience that this beautiful energy lies inside me, and inside you too, if you connect to it. I am a normal human just like you, I do get angry, irritated and crazy at times but they just pass by like a storm and I soon get back to my peaceful self with learning for the future.
I will let you decide how you want to reprogram your old belief system if it no longer serves you. You have an unending stream of wisdom inside you, just remember to tap it. Keep learning and growing, cause when you stop learning, you start dying. No matter what your age, you can still learn that guitar or a new language or whatever you choose to! Learning makes you feel alive as you become a better version of yourself after everything new that you learn.
My only wish is that YOU go HIGHER and BEYOND the old version of yourself! Be the person you love, after all you are the only true soulmate who stands by you(even after the last breath).
Try taking a break from the drama and say hi to the beautiful you! :) *Smiles*
