I love this phase in which I have finally
found the desired balance between work and recreation. Everything has been a
lesson and everyone I have met has held a mirror before me. And I am so
grateful that the realization has been sweeping in slowly and steadily.
Happy is the mind that accepts what it
cannot change instead of wallowing in meaningless agony. Move on! You are a
unique soul even if people don’t view you or themselves as such.
Eckhart Tolle says suffering is self
generated. A hundred percent true when you actually reach that point. And no
arguments are left over in the bag of doubts.
What stops you from being happy people
situations and reactions? What? Think and you will realize that YOU can’t
handle what life presents. If you understand that often , in life, you have to
get used to long jump, high jump, hitting the ball right ( sometimes wrong) and
all this is just competing with yourself and bettering your last performance,
you will automatically start getting cleansed from all those polluted mindsets
that keep you in a whirlpool of negatives where you are just playing the blame
game and pointing fingers at life, at everyone but never at yourself.
Whereas, everything begins and ends with
the self and in the self. Ghalib’s words translated:
When I didn’t know my own mental state, I
blamed the whole world. But the day I perceived my shortcomings, there was no
one left to criticize.
My worst “enemy “may be my best friend
within my soul group.
