Sometimes It is Good to Revisit Our Past to have Reality Checks…!!

Life, History, and Reality

I am supposed to be an optimistic person with a motivation to lead my life, and a vision to stay in the present moment as it is the only time we have. But, it is not always the case as visiting our past and revisiting history for the sake of learning and finding how man builds and destroys his individual or collective life. My visit to the past was somehow unplanned, and it started with a movie that I had watched around twenty years back. There was a favorite actor of mine in it, and he was one of the most dashing, smart, and stylish actors of that time. I wonder if his looks and style are still up to the present time fashion. 

That’s how some people stay ahead of time and can display something that is called the evergreen sort of thing. I had a flash of memories associated not with that film but with the period, and the age when I first watched it. The depressive issues, problems, and the vigor to conquer the world in those youthful times were visualized again. Then I kept on comparing my present time lifestyle, the issues, my mindset, and how I have transformed. 

In many cases, I am much more strong, self-awareness and wisdom might be more. But the vigor, enthusiasm, and charm, and attraction towards life are quite lessened. I was trying to find out the real meaning of life right now. Why and how people are so much indulged in running behind the material world, false emotions, fallacies, and fall from grace for the sake of other mortal humans. Who left us long ago without giving a second thought and value to our love, feelings, and emotions? What was the use of trying to be in the hearts and minds of others when in the end others use us for their pastimes, and for having a listener and compassionate person in their tough times?

That’s how life is as an old film watched again gave me food for thought and a whole track to rethink how and why we have wasted so much time is useless things. At the current time, we are closer to our deaths as the end seems to give me another direction, to work for a collection of stuff that will be the real asset in the afterlife, not the one for the purposeless investment into this mortal world. But, we have to pass the remaining time in this world, as we have to learn, provide a better life for people who are dependent on us, and to strive for a better lifestyle as I am not twenty years younger as like the time of the movie that I watched. 

It is a bit of a sad but interesting thing to see that a young and handsome man as a hero in the film is also old, with obesity and age has taken away his glory youthful charm. That’s how I resemble the blooming flower and then it’s fading and falling away, petal by petal and as a pale worn-out unwanted object. Ahhh! The strange facts of life are not going to change for anyone. 

Here, I would like to quote one of the most beautiful novels that came in the last two decades. Arundhati Roy in her novel “God of Small Things”. When she talked about the character Ammu, who was 31 years old, and she used the phrase “a dieable viable age”. This sentence still haunts me with being closer to all viable to die at any moment. SO, it’s time to prepare for the final destination, and to look and pray for the best things that are promised by God Almighty in Paradise, and to work on it instead of keeping grudges, hatred, jealousy, revenge, pessimism, and other useless emotions in our hearts, minds, and souls anymore.

Self Awareness is a Gift that Few People Cherish but Many Can Learn…!!

Optimism and Motivation for Self Awareness

Life is a continuous struggle that we as humans try to live for our best. We try hard to find the real meaning of life and why our existence is so important for the universe. But, unfortunately very few lead to worthwhile conclusions, and even helpful to sustain and to strive for our very own attainment of heights of glory, peace of soul, and above all to be a part of a better human race. Yes, we must try hard to look to find our real being, and self-awareness is bliss in a way. When people get aware of how their hearts and mind coordinate, and how to give guidance to one’s subconscious and unconscious mind in the right way then things are all going to be very well for us, and humanity in general. 

Deciding to live in peace with what we are gifted by the Divine Rulings, and what is the limitation to our actions, and how to control the wild side that usually exists in every ordinary human being. I am not talking about the superhumans, who have great self-control or are gifted to look beyond their worldly desires, and materialistic approaches towards life and towards other beings. The craving to find relaxed life, true love, and to find success in everything we do is a wish that no sane person can deny for…!!

Each individual has a soul and a desire to live in the best of conditions, and that does not mean to bully, to crush others in the game of success, or to reach the top of a hill, by moving and shaking the inside out of others. If there is a self-awareness of our capabilities, the blessings that we already carry, and our aptitude that must be directed towards something that we highly crave. Then our unconscious mind will take us towards that path with the right decisions and actions at the right time. The wishes must be realistic and there must be an overall positivity in everything we desire for. Some people like to keep the pessimistic approach towards life and other people. 

They want to harm others with their words, actions, and an inside craving to see others suffer. It might be due to their experiences, and the hard and harsh things that others have done to them. But the important thing is to always try to stay away from the emotion of revenge. I don’t ask you to present another cheek if someone slaps you at once. Self-respect is such a precious part of self-awareness that one must never compromise on it. But to keep our nerves in control, and to refrain from damaging another person with our words, actions and attitude are not recommended. Either we must be able to say the truth in front of the one who is hurting our true emotions and giving a jerk to the soul. In another case, forgive or forget is the best option…!!

The concept of forgiveness and forgetting carries a pearl of inherited wisdom, as we let our mind and soul not be able to suffer from the things that don’t matter in our path and struggle to live a better life. Then the second-best thing happens that we don’t want our emotions and energy in negative ways, and give ourselves a lesson that other person’s deeds and words do not reflect me. I am going to define myself in the way I see myself, and how I want to grow and groom. Self-nurturing and growth is natural process, and we keep on learning at every age. If we are aware of our own flaws and weaknesses then we are better able to correct and control ourselves for our very own good life and physical, emotional, and mental health, and to have a peaceful soul….!! 

Barren Mind!

Barrenness of Mind and Hope

You might be amazed at the title of my blog as how a mind can be barren. The barrenness is an attribute related to lands, cultures destinies an so on. But I am telling you right from my heart that my mind is barren. I have lost all thoughts, feelings and emotions to move on for a write up that can motivate others for good in their lives!

My recent illness and some personal crises situations have made me feel quite ruthless and even negative thinker in a true way. I can’t describe anything in a normal and optimistic way. But yes I am trying to recover my consciousness to work for my SELF, and to be strong enough to recollect my own stream of thoughts and ideas that always motivated me to do or write something with a clear message.

Now I am able to relate with people who are in extreme panic situation or face some devastating situations. Now I can imagine the hollowness inside their minds and souls. Yes! We human beings are not automated machines who can turn the moods on with a single statement or like a on off switch. We need a whole plan to be out in a normal situation, and it can only happen when we are able to concentrate.

It is a time when a person must sit alone and spend time with himself or herself, and then visualize everything from scratch. Believe me I did so and I was quite successful. It is due to a old religious and eastern cultural myth that goes on. When you are left with no choices then sit in a dark corner with your back touching a wall. Inhale deeply and get inside Your Own Self. You will be meditating and don’t be fed up with initial dark.

Eventually you will turn out with something very positive and practical that is hidden like a treasure in your soul. You have to find the keys of that wallet and then take the map out. Your plan will become easy when you ask ALLAH Almighty to Help you and to Bless you with a serene and peaceful way out.

I am trying to dig out something from inside and hopefully will be able to write for others and for myself, and all I can suggest you is to do the same and you will never be at a loss. That will be my treasure and my real catharsis, and we all need it as I am not a super human. I guarantee that your inner voyage of self-discovery and finding new ways to fight with external stresses and anxieties will never be failed out!!

Ride on High Hopes to Win Battle Against Pessimism!!

Motivation to Remove Pessimism Out of Life

It is so difficult to carry on life at times when we see nothing good in present moment and then still can’t find some good news for upcoming days. Does it mean to stop dreaming and to leave Hope for the sake of living in a black hole? No absolutely no! It is just against the rule of nature and not a healthy sign to keep on living like an earthworm. We have to move ahead with high spirits and soulful messages to our unconscious mind.

When you think you are losing the nerves to control that bleak corner of your in-depth personality, and it is riding like a bull in an arena all wild and destructive. Then it is time to intervene and work with best of things that can cause motivation and let you grow as an individual and an active member of the society. You will not only be a successful person but a great asset to this planet Earth and to your Society as well!

Keep on giving yourself joyful, peaceful and unconditional messages of self-approval and love! I bet you can survive the worst of battles within your souls if you do it, and to add if you pray regularly and meditate then you are definitely seeing a brighter side that is full of Spirituality and Optimism. Once you attain a state of peaceful and clam feelings and thoughts due to your recently started spiritual journey then you will grow as a great Human Being and a Fighter of the toughest battle that is definitely fought within our souls, hearts and minds.

Most of times, people give up their motivation and think that they cannot overcome their problems. They do it by themselves or people around make them feel at low self-esteem that they are born losers. No! It is not the case, and if you are a person who knows that Nature takes Tests and with each individual it is different then you will definitely go on a high ride of Hope, Goal Setting and Motivation for sure!

Just ignore the negative comments and vibes that people keep on giving. Just focus on thing praise yourself for your past achievements, love yourself and then think that you will go on a success track that will be far different and much better than you had already experienced. Just ignore the criticism and take praises with feet on earth. I am sure nobody can pull you back from the successful journey, and even if you are moving on a path of spiritual elevation. Good luck!!
