Well, let’s get real !!
Life doesn't give you second chances, it gives you hundreds. It’s up to us to take action.
We give the reason for age, responsibilities, and work. In reality, It’s our laziness, lack of motivation, and self-respect that’s speaking.
Don't get offended, It’s the reality. Accept it. Don't agree with me?. Let me explain.
We all know deep down the superpowers we have and the skill we possess and where we will reach if we put them into action, Right?!. You know deep down you can reach unimaginable heights if you pursue your inner calling and yet you say no. WHY?.
Why are you depriving yourself of wanting to experience the true taste of freedom?. Don't you want to live life to the fullest and feel complete every day when you lie down in bed?. Don't you want to experience the happiness of closing your eyes and taste the touch of sleep?.
Now let’s talk about Self respect. We always seek or rather demand respect from others. Why?. Maybe there’s a big hole inside you that you’ve left a void for a long long time and just expect others to fulfill when the other person doesn't even know !!!. So, Why don't you just speak up !!! Not just to others, speak to yourself. Listen to yourself.
What’s making you not take that action?. What’s holding you back?. You family? Your job? Your friends? Your colleagues ?.
Bullsh*t !!!. IT’S YOU !!!
You set the pace of your life, No one else !!!
This is not about you getting used to & staying in your comfort zone. This is about not letting go and wanting to grow. It’s about not exploring alternative streams of knowledge that help you gain deeper insight about yourself. It’s about the emptiness you feel deep down, Remember it?.
The one you’ve been feeling since the days of schooling, college, and family life. That’s the culprit.
You’ve been just filling the wrong pot. You were thirsty all your life and instead of quenching the thirst, you’re feeding food thinking you’re hungry. It’s just not adding up.
Being hungry and being thirsty are 2 different things. You have to quench your thirst of life, Instead of that you’ve been feeding yourself. Make sense?
You’ve quenched the hunger for pleasure, It’s done.
You’ve quenched the hunger for company, You have a partner, It’s done.
You’ve quenched the hunger for money, You have enough now, It’s done.
You’ve quenched the hunger for family, You have people around you, It’s done.
But, have you fulfilled the thirst for growth, knowledge & freedom?. If not, You know the reason now.
These aren't my words, but the words of Swami Vivekananda himself. It’s just that I am breaking it down to the simplest words imaginable and adding a little bit of humor.
When was the last time you read a book that helped you think in the right direction? Or gave you a redirect?. When was the last time you held yourself accountable? When was the last time you started a new habit that’d set you apart from others and push you ahead?.
Don't tell me you don't have time. How much time do you spend scrolling on your phone?. If you’re smiling while reading this, then you have the answer.
You are stuck because you decided to stay there.
You have kids because you decided to have a family.
You have responsibilities because you decided to become responsible.
You have pain because you asked for it. Yes, You really did.
You suffer because you don't want to find a solution.
You aren't growing, Because you aren't learning.
You aren't healthy because you choose to remain so.
You aren’t fit because you haven't thrown that weighing scale away and done what needs to be done.
You cry because you let the hurt hurt you, it’s not the people who hurt. It’s the emotion inside you that’s hurting you.
It’s you & you alone !!!
Stop blaming & Start becoming.
RISE | SHINE | EVOLVE.
