This one is
surely not just going to be another motivational blog but also one that will
make you think spiritually, but at the same time challenging you to think
deeply and determine your meaning and mission in life. It's going to make you
feel worthless at some point, and that's going to be okay... Because when we
see how shit we are... Only then we can work on removing that shit and
replacing it with something valuable. Identification of a problem is halfway
solving it. :) Always remember that!
So, we all
know what time we're all going through. I recently lost a close family member
of mine. He was the cutest and still the strictest member! (Haha... Weird
combination? Yes, I know. Well that defined him :) I loved him to the core. And
still, miss him. But the reason am writing this today, is to let you think,
about how precious this life truly is.
You don't
know when your last moment of life is. Do you? Just stop here.
Think.
Isn't life
fragile?
Isn't life
meant for something more than caring for your ego, money, material, and all
other external beauties? ( No I don't mean the models... Come on...lol)
Nothing you
earn here, love here, make here, eat here, drive here, live where, gather with,
think about, get depressed about, worry much, hate to the core, or even love
the most is going to stay with you forever. Nothing. So what's the use of being
so attached to stuff?
On the other
hand, if you're attached, know that when the time comes, you'll have to let
them go. Let them go gracefully and thanking them for the time they had for you
and with you. Because someday... We all will go. You'll go. I'll go. And some
other human will replace us. Can you imagine how scary that might sound to most
of us? That today, you're loved, missed, cared, thought about, talked to, and
then some day, it'll all go off. Like a switch off. On..... OFF.
This is
scary for most of us, yes, I admit, but somewhere, it's enlightening for some.
Why?
Because this
tells us exactly how and what value this life holds and how much we happen to
cling on to stuff that can so easily be snatched from us in a matter of mini
seconds.
No. You
don't need to live life with the fear of death... I'd like you to imagine how
you'd live each day knowing that you might not be here tomorrow so why not
shower some extra love, care, happiness, smiles, laughter, miss yous, love
yous, hugs, and kisses to everyone around? And, please for god’s sake don’t run
after strangers to kiss them! Haha. Well, you know what I mean, don’t you? :)
Coming back
to our talk, this life is very very small. Very very minute and every second
you waste on thinking negatively about someone or something is one second you’re
snatching away from your peace of mind. And when you're at your peace of mind,
only then you can truly attain the state of a yogi.
Yogis don't
feel sadness. This is false. They do. They're humans too. But they can see the
meaning behind it and that's what gives them an extra quality that we call
wisdom. Yogis feel sadness, they let it come, acknowledge it and then let the
sadness sit with them in silence. They don't talk to it. They don't let it talk
as well. They just let it be. And slowly when sadness isn't entertained, it
quickly moves on. :) Moving on is what makes this whole nature work. Earth is
moving on. The wind is moving on. Even your eyes are moving. And now that
you've noticed your focus has now moved to notice your eyes moving. So see,
everything everywhere is moving. :)
So why be
stuck at one point? :)
Live each
day as it's your last. I presume you might have heard from me before. But when
have you lived it? Love. Laugh. Live. Read this? When did you apply this?
My friend,
nothing is permanent. Neither you. Nor me. Nor your loved ones. I know it hurts
to read this, but always, truth doesn't just sting, it teaches. Learn from this
to let stuff go, let stuff come, let it stay, love, don't indulge in it, and
lastly let it all go when the time comes.
The only
thing that doesn't remain here is our soul. And when you're buying yourself the
expensive stuff, you aren't making your soul happy, you're making your heart
and mind happy. Want a demonstration? Okay.
Cook your favourite
meal. Don't eat it. Prepare it first. Plate it nicely. Be careful not to spill
it. Now, wait and look at it. Don't eat it yet. Take a few bites out of it and
keep it in a small bowl. Take the bowl in your hand, sit on your dining table
or your usual dining spot, look at it, and now get eating that bowl. How does
it feel? Yummy right? This is your mind and heart being happy.
Now get up
and get that plate, go out and give this plate to a homeless to eat. And when
they're taking it from you, look at their smile, their happiness, and their
eyes. Are your pupils a little dilated? Now, this is your soul being happy my
friend... :)
There's a
very strange thing that happens when you happen to work for your job if you
truly dedicate yourself to it. It doesn't just remain as a mere job or task to
do, it becomes a craft in your eyes. And when this happens, nothing matters
around you, who's where, how's the weather, how much income I make out of this,
or even if you will complete it or not. You just happen to enjoy that moment.
The touch between you and your craft. That's truly beautiful. And that's some
of the few priceless moments we all should strive to achieve. Because I feel
that doing tasks with so much focus that they seem like craft to you, truly
becomes like a mediation... And when you come out of it .. you feel good,
empowered, and peaceful. And... Isn't all that we all run around to find in
this world? :)
It's all in
you man! You just got to sit and find! :)
Do things
only for your soul to be happy, so that when it's time to go, you have nothing
but sweet memories of people whose lives you've touched, and maybe they'll be
crying for you too for the kind of soul you are. Nothing lives here. Only the
sweet memories, kind deeds, and passion for your craft are what is left behind
for others to adore and remember you. :)
So why not
leave a much bigger impact and not just be stuck in this pothole of "Me,
Myself and Mine". Let it be "You, Ours, and We."
If you have
any questions do hit me up on the mail, though I rarely reply late, excuse me
if I do.
Stay
motivated. Stay excited. Stay soulful. :)
