Aren’t I Enough..!!??

That is exactly what YOU are thinking … ! Or even Believing..!!

And some of us are questioning this within us.

But what will the answer be? Depends on whom we turn to for the answers.

Our lives are twinned and surrounded by numerous people around us in different ways.. family, friends, friends, colleagues, neighbours and various communities in the society we live in. Our interactions with every individual person can be very different depending on the depth of our interactions. Nobody teaches us.. we just adapt! Like children do.. Parents would have experienced how children behave / act differently for different people!

Parents would narrate and say all sorts of things about their child’s behaviour to me and you would think.. “Hmm…are they talking about the same child!!” … and can happen vice versa too… ( I’m sure that Rings a bell 🔔! )

Of all the people we cross paths with, some accept us, some motivate or criticize us, some admire or flatter us, and some simply stay for a passing conversation. With only a rare few, we can truly be ourselves.

With time one learns that you cannot please everyone, it gets tiring. Everyone measures you with a different Yardstick, everyone’s EXPECTATIONS and PERSPECTIVES are different about you. And these could be purely based on their own measures of self or out of their own life experiences.

In the process, the closest can become the farthest and the farthest can become your closest confidante!

My uncle says (I bet he is smiling while reading this)..

Forget about yesterday, Don’t think about tomorrow.. Live for Today.

He says this repeatedly and he practises it every day.. every moment. Almost training your Brain by the repetition and daily practice.

One cannot fix what’s been done or worry about what’s going to happen tomorrow but one can live in the moment for the enjoyment of Today who is with you.. right now.. waiting for you to make peace with yesterday and a beautiful tomorrow.

All of this is only possible once we start accepting others the way they are…..…

……………………..but……………………

Even more LIBERATING is accepting ourselves

• the way we are..

• who we are and..

• how we are..

And if we find others who resonates with us… Life is Bliss!!

One life is enough to experience all that you desire as long as you are willing to Live it
