Don’t wish – move towards the unknown

Dreams are unfulfilled desires.

A path that you imagined and never walked.

Many of us live in the idea of living.

We sleepwalk through life, and the only window out of our office cubicle is to see dreams.

Dream that someday things will get better.

Someday I will have written the book I want to write, the painting I want to paint or the thing that you were born to do.

We speak so much of our desires, but never really step up to fulfil them.

Reading, fantasising and preparing won’t move the needle.

Doing would.

How will you serve your dreams if you are serving a life sentence?

You have asked yourself to go through the punishment of what others have written to be the rules of living.

There are no rules. Only life is.

Not to be survived and lived but to be celebrated.

Do you want your dreams to come true?

I am sure the answer is yes. If you are uncomfortable saying yes right now, the reason might be you are not sure how.

But somewhere deep down you have this desire to shine and seen.

All of us have this spark that can be spectacular fireworks.

We all love to be applauded by our loved ones and do something that really matters.

At this stage, it can be easy to fall into the pitfall of doing something heroic and something already proven.

But how will you make new discoveries if you do what has already been done?

Do you wish to live the life you always wished for?

Then don’t wish, move towards the unknown.

Dive into the core of your being, which is an unexplored aspect of your being.

Not similar nor familiar, to you and the people you know.

You have spent life so far finding the question outwardly, but how would you search for yourself in the world?

You are where you are. Find yourself where you are.

And you will be where you are if you don’t do anything about it.

No one knows what’s right for you, as no one knows yourself better than you do.

And it is you who can take a step for yourself, to peep into the uncharted territories of your being.

To see the different things you can try today and what difference it will make in the world.

∗ ∗ ∗

Clarity.

When you know yourself, you know what you want and what you don’t need.

When you know who you are you are comfortable being in uncomfortable situations.

There will be moments where you will struggle to find your place in the world.

There is no reference to context to the things you do spontaneously when you are aligned with your own nature.

Situations that carve out opportunities to be unique.

Opportunities that come together just for you and one else in the world.

You are wonderful, you are special; as everyone is.

∗ ∗ ∗

Success is not about finding success. At least not what it is defined by society.

The real success is to find yourself.

What do you want to do once you find out who you are?

What arises from within, is that whats to manifest in this world using you as the medium.

What wakes you up every day, and makes you feel happy about being alive?

The thing that makes you join your hands in gratitude.

Feeling humble by the feeling of how lucky you are for being able to do what you do.

Write down those things on a piece of paper.

Be crazy about it.

No one is going to read it, but you. It is for you.

How do you know if you have found the right thing?

Once you have figured it out, the thing will not let you go.

Your part is done. Now your calling will possess you, and it will make you do things that even you wouldn’t have imagined doing.

∗ ∗ ∗

You will say without saying that you have found what you have found.

Absolutely nothing would make you stop doing it.

Your being will scream what you do.

You will become what you do.

That is the beauty of finding yourself in the mess of the scattered life.

This is what it is worth living for.

You do what you love, and not twice but you don’t think about it at all.

Things start to happen automatically.

Everything falls into its place on its own accord.

What you need to accomplish will be given to you.

What you hinders your path will disappear like the clouds in the sky.

Decluttered. Clear. Mesmerising.

∗ ∗ ∗

You would no longer expect people to understand what you are creating.

The accountability towards society to accommodate you in its rat race would have vanished.

The burden you felt to drag yourself through the progression of life will no longer be there.

The burden that was reciprocated towards you by society will lose its purpose.

You will be a free bird.

One more person would have excused himself from the formality of occurrence and the exchange of the burden.

Transactionality.

That one person needs nothing no more from anyone.

As for what he wants, he has found within.

He is free from the cycle of give and take, good and bad and even birth and death.

He is free to be in service of others. So they can be free too.

∗ ∗ ∗

Fulfilled. Self Sufficient. Complete.

On the surface, it would look like you are doing things just like anyone else is doing.

But the difference is that they get rewards; you get fulfilled.

Work is enjoyment for you, and presenting what you have created is a joy.

Bliss.

The book you might have written the painting you might have done, or might it be any kind of creation; it will ignite the flame in someone.

Just like you found yourself, it will help others find the light within.

The light that guides us through the uncertainty of the journey towards the unknown.

A light that you always carry and evokes a sense in others that they carry it too.

∗ ∗ ∗

This journey towards self is not about transforming but transcending.

Met with the negativity transcend it. Met with the positivity transcend it.

Who cares?

It doesn’t change who you are at the core.

There will be many waves on the surface, but a the core the ocean is still.

Serene.

It gives life to the beautiful creations of nature.

Creations that are born from its unmoving centre. Shared with the world to remind the world about its unmoving centre.
