What if life
went exactly the way you wanted? What
if there was nothing called fear, rejection, depression, sadness and sorrow?
What if you never felt heavy in your heart and tears did not exist? What if you
had a remote control to change your circumstances? What if words such as
“heartbreak” and “betrayal” did not exist? Sigh…for a second you did enter
fantasy land, and heaved a sigh of comfort and absolute relief….but is it
possible? Can we really turnaround our lives from challenging situations? Can
we actually live the life of our dreams? I am no therapist neither a spiritual
healer definitely not a magician…just another being who faces similar trials
and tribulations in life. But as I have
experienced a gamut of emotions over many years of my existence, I do know we can have the life we want. Once you plant this thought in your mind,
there is no looking back, all you have to do is program your mind to react to
what happens to you differently, yes you have the remote to your life and you may
not be able to control what happens to you but you can control how you react to it.
Yes ok, heard this, done that, The Secret vouches for it, every site,
publication, medium that propagates spirituality talks about it, Zen, Buddhism, and
Art of living preach it, but do you believe it?
Unfortunately,
the bare truth is that your belief shapes your reality, if you see darkness how can there
be light, if you only see sorrow, happiness is just an illusion, if you only see
pain, joy is far far away. Sounds
preachy, to me too, absolute trash at times, we always wonder so easy for
someone to advice, feels good for a minute, then we are back to our mundane
lives facing the same set of struggles.
But at the core lies belief, we do not believe it, we rubbish it as we
have become so comfortable reacting, behaving and living in a certain manner,
robotic if I am say, in our conduct, we lack basic belief that yes it can
happen, things can go the way I want them to, life can shape up as I will. The path of affirmations is not easy, reverting
to preset notions and age-old beliefs is a safer option, as it offers comfort
to be in known territory, the unknown comes with no guarantee.
But till you try how would you know? Either
you face troubles the way you have been facing or try acceptance, try changing
your ATTITUDE, it makes all the difference.
If there is anyone in this world who can make you do any of this it is
only YOU, the strings of happiness
lie only in your hands. The almighty has moulded you in a way that only YOU can heal yourself, any problems,
however complex, any situation however complicated only YOU possess the power
to CHANGE it. Adversities wont stop,
problems wont disappear, they will always be there to keep us human, but how
you deal with them will make all the difference in your life. Phew, gyaan and
more gyaan, but no harm trying, the worst is you will FAIL, at least you won’t regret never trying. Anything that betters the quality of your
life is worth a try, you might just succeed and your epitaph will read “AND
HE/SHE LIVED and WOW”.
