Unless we
change our inner mental programming to fit our inner emotions and remain with
unobscured authentic self, the conditions of our life still remains the same
whether we have the power of a king, the prestige of a movie star or the
knowledge of Einstein –we win some & we lose some. Without inherently
changing to match our thoughts with actions, changing our names or possessing the
earthly desires of material benefits that may stimulate our needs temporarily, no
guarantee to attain a lasting contentment.
We have to
recognize that imperfections are normal and we need to be gentle with ourselves
& others, not to get irritated or discouraged when we don’t meet our
expectations and those of others. No matter how hard the situation might be, we
can try until we have used all possibilities within our reach to change
untenable and unavoidable conditions. We
should be spontaneous to do, say or even post what we think and feel instead of
seething, covering, wallowing and immersing ourselves in a pool of judgement
erroneously.
Everyone is
born a sleepwalker. Everyone faces a point when they wake up and realize they
need to take ownership over their lives to truly live. This does not mean that
our lives before this point have gone to waste. Whatever has happened in our
past up till this point, happened for a reason. It has been a journey no matter
what, when, where, how, it has been a precarious trip or road map to new
opportunities in allowing us to learn, grow and become the person we are today.
As I was
growing up, I was slowly gaining consciousness through random encounters in my
life. However, I was still largely a sleepwalker living out other people’s
visions and goals, such as media, marketers and advertisers, the society, friends,
family, etc. I was missing my own comprehensive vision in life. It was when I
was transitioning between graduating and moving on to the world of working life
that I was jolted awake and decided to live my life contented braking away from
the old traditional mindset, rhetorical & unrealistic believes with no
fruition.
Whenever I
look around me, I see sleepwalkers droning their lives away, people running
fervently in the rat race and in their rat wheels, people busy trying to earn
money for a better life for the future, people who do not know what their lives
really stand for, people wasting their existence away, people denying
themselves of what they really want on the inside and not knowing what they
truly want and resorted to living an anxious life despondently.
How can we
build a society where everyone thrives, when we all go in a different
directions and belittle each other’s’ efforts? It is long overdue that we, as a
people, admit that we have serious problem at the foundational level where our
interactions with each other are not principled and our value systems are
deteriorating with the influx of digitally controlled life styles, at home,
meetups, public places and screening even while we’re walking. Maybe I should open
a DIGITAL FREE RESORT somewhere out there, yeh? Good idea, but more on that
later!
Consequently,
the main problem in making our lives work is that our ego & rational mind
keep us trapped in playing out the security, sensation & power demands that
we programmed into our bio computer during our lifetime’s journey when we are
stuck in the ineffective ruts that make us like a yo-yo –bouncing between pain
& pleasure.
Whether we
accept our pitfalls sooner or not we have to also agree that not everybody is
going to like us. It’s a hard act to follow but powerful lesson to learn which
frees us to create the best life we can hope and enjoy conspicuously. All these
remarks are nothing to do with being negative.
Again, it’s
society’s view to resolutely label people who express their views candidly. We created needless disconnections resulting
in social divisions and hatred instead of deepening our relations with equal
opportunity in a rapidly changing world. We must not ignore our universal
values to speak our minds about diversity, tolerance, equality and about any
issues we value and care about.
TIME FOR
CHANGE is my leitmotif blogspot for posting statements based on universal
values of diversity and communal creed of dignity of all people to share my
views that matters to all of us. We must remember that nothing stays the same,
if we can’t agree in life on everything and anything; ultimately, we all agree
that we all die no matter in what circumstances. Do we agree on that? Do you
say what you think?
Your time
starts now! Can you start doing the right thing and saying what you think
honestly, starting right now by responding how you feel about my observations?
“YES YOU CAN”!
“I do not
agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say
it". –Evelyn Beatrice Hall
I, for one, feel
honoured to be able to pass on my extensive experiences, everyday life dramas, untapped
philosophies and wisdoms that life has offered me through numerous events at various
locations in different countries both the bad and good during the course of my
endearing life’s journey with sheer perseverance and strength. SM
