Since
you have allowed others to do that to you, sometimes you don’t have answers to your
questions which leads to you being a problem yourself to solution of your life
problems- this is what I called being ‘confused’ and confusion leads to not
knowing your own self, not realising what you want out of life- in our daily
chaos it’s not in our priority list- we have so many things to look after EMI’s,
work, family, socialising. And then suddenly we realise one day that our busy
lives we have forgotten all about our own self- that’s when we seek ‘art of living’
classes, meditation etc to learn what we want out of our life.
So, the
point is why do we need to wait for so long just to realise this fact? Why not
try knowing yourself now? Loving yourself now? Don’t forget one logic- love
yourself selflessly and not selfishly.
The
belief that unhappiness is selfless and happiness is selfish is misguided. It's
more selfless to act happy. It takes energy, generosity, and discipline to be
unfailingly light-hearted, yet everyone takes the happy person for granted. No
one is careful of his/her feelings or tries to keep his/her spirits high. One
seems self-sufficient; becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness
seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.
