This has been a dilemma for most of us… where to look for inspiration, what to do next? Where to go from where we stand… What next?
My philosophy: look unto thyself
we are what we are! More than anything, we need to explore ourselves for strengths, weaknesses, needs, necessities. All such things identify us, make us the individuals we are.
Happiness comes from within, from meeting our own needs, expectations.. so why follow others? Why go behind someone or something which you are mind and heart is not party to? Why not find your own abode? Why not create your own happiness? Why does it have to be a common happiness!
So many of us have wandered from one thing to another, from one tree to another to get the fruits which others have got, seldom remembering that that is not what we want for ourselves. Definitely, in the moment of human emotions like jealousy, enviousness(not sure if this word exists), following the world, we do forget the fact that each of us is looking for a different thing, but if we introspect we should be able to discern these emotions from the needs.
Leaders have often thrown light in this direction too! They have shown us that each of them visualizes world differently and have their own visions and no matter what others think they intend to make their vision come true… And that is what makes them leaders, because that takes them towards the happiness we all are looking for.
So what and where should go from here.. “Introspection” as many sages have correctly put.. We need to understand, categorize and characterize our needs, necessities etc. We need to work on ourselves rather than on someone else. We ought to have dreams for us
Life is too short for anything else.
Saare jag ki kahani mein apna fasana nahin hota,
Apne ek safhe mein pure jahan ka kahani hoti hai!
So go ahead, discover yourself!
I know I am getting a more and more philosophical these days and I am working on it
so bear!
