Hi All,
So here I am back again doing something I like very much but am not able to do much i.e. write & share with you all my views. So why not let's get started rather than wait... :-)
Hmm so today what I am going to share with you all is something derived from life events. Every one's life has many moments, many events, ups & downs that one goes through. But the most important thing amidst all this is that we carry on living. Each night how bad it might be we brave through it for an exciting & energizing morning sun. We have belief that how bad times might be there will be good days just around the corner. But then hey, tell me my dear reader when all this happens what is the most important thing that keeps the hope of good to come alive. Is it GOD who comes down from his heavenly abode for rescue? Is it family or friends who come and clear out? Or is it that "someone special" that a few have in their lives who lend a hand?
The answer is No it is not these but We ourselves.
It is we that are there braving through all. Standing up when we fall and brushing clear the dust off our souls. There might be a kind hand extended for help, which we must not forget in our good times. There will be the guiding light of faith but then religion is not our identity. Family will always be there for us but then they can only have kind words of strength is it not. In the end it is we who have to suffer, we who have to go through all the pain the hurt and still put up a smile and walk. At the end of the day when it feels tired and the heart says let go there is an inner voice which pushes the envelope for one more bout.
I am not suggesting that we do not need people in life. But then do we need so many people? Is it not true that at the end of the day when all fails and falls apart we have to fend for ourselves on our own. It is always one person's own fight and those who tend to depend on others for fighting their battles tend to loose. Stand up for yourself. We need to understand that it is all within us the answers that we seek, the guidance that we need. The stronger that we are from inside the more peace we will find in life. Let me tell you all a small story...
"There was this random guy. He was a cheerful chap. He loved to spread happiness his only aim in life was make all happy around him. He never showed people his inner pain, his wounds for he believed in sharing only happiness. For him satisfied parents and happiness of his friends mattered a lot. Then one day while he was walking on a road he slipped and fell and hurt himself. There were scratches and a little blood. His friends came running helped him up, dusted him. They had him treated, helped him recover and asked him to rest. His parents comforted him with words of kindness & guided him that these are stepping stones when one learns to walk the talk.
He felt nice about this soon recovered and got back to his normal happy go lucky life.
Then one day calamity struck. He got into a rough time in life. Things started to fall apart in life. It was just like any other bad phase in life that we all face. He could not share things with his parents as they would not understand things from his perspective. After all they had a different view point on things and it was understood also as they had seen things differently in their lives. After all it was no wound of the road. He wished his friends around him will understand him and stand by him in this tough time. But then guess what he got to hear. Why do you have expectations? His friends called him a fool, stupid & asked not to behave childish. He was cursed for not being patient. All those very people who he stood for and with in all times started to behave strangely with him. The very foundation of his life shook and he found himself all alone in a crowd around him.
He was not a big believer in faith but he even started saying prayers. But then God being God even he was not to be seen coming for help. There was dark everywhere in life, things all crowded up with no exit in sight. As they say 'when calamity strikes you can die even if have done no wrong' such was his situation. But then life could not be like this for long. There are only 2 ways in such cases either you take the shortcut to death or be brave enough to fight the battle to victory.
As the realization started to sink in and with help on the way, he understood that he could let matters get worse. He realized that it's high time he took the control back. There is nothing stronger in this world than the determination to fight in a person. If you have the will there will always be a way. He believed in it and took the bull by the horn. Slowly but surely things started to get back to normalcy. And then one day things came back on track.
But what he did learn from all this was that when times are bad you first need to stand up for yourself. Family will have only as much as kind words. Friends & acquaintances will only stand with you when you are strong not when week. He understood that faith is only as much guiding as much as the belief we have in ourselves to be right and true."
The intent of the above story was to illustrate the point I have made an attempt at to make in this conversation. We need to understand that we need to be strong in bad times and help ourselves as much as we can. Others will be only as much as they can that also if they want to.
In the end just want to say believe in yourself and be as much as you can for yourself. If you are not there for yourself and waiting and dependent on others you will fall.
Signing Off With My Views For now. Will love to hear back from you all Will be back with something new soon. Take Care All.
