THERE’S no real “you”. You’re just a blueprint of the society in which you were born and one that made you. Your habits, hobbies, interests, religion, beliefs and actions are all meditated by society. What you are right now is not the actual you. However, there is a possibility to discover and rediscover yourself. You are the creator of your own story. However this change will hardly come overnight.
Consider this, in a village two children are born. One grows up in the village itself and another is raised in a developed country abroad. After twenty years, they both will have different personalities. The village boy will have his own set of hobbies and dreams. On the other hand, the one raised abroad will have a different set of values meditated by a completely different society abroad. Therefore, it is obvious that you do not control your life, society does. One might mistake ones life as though luck directed it, however, things aren’t that simple.
However, no matter what society has done, you can change it if you don’t like your story that you are living. You can completely recreate it no matter how old and strong your story is. You have the power, because you are the author of your own life story. This is the highest power for a human being.
You have to first accept it deep within by increasing your self understanding. Research on it, analyse your past. Listen and watch struggle stories of people who then become successful all over the world. One thought can change your life. Plant your thoughts deeply in your subconscious mind through gratitude affirmations. Do this until your belief in your abilities becomes stronger.
Then the next step is to destroy your fear of people. As they say, “sabse bada rogh, kya kahenge log”. If you don’t remove this fear then you can’t unlock your true potential or inner voice. Listen to the inner voice not the outer voice. No matter how many failures you have faced, you become closer to success from every failure.
If you are so concerned about what people are thinking, then how can you make your decisions? You will act on their expectations of you and not on your inner voice.
Life is what you make it, it’s your choice. Don’t compromise in life, enjoy it to the fullest. Don’t make excuses. Be patient, work hard. Keep a learning attitude, an open mind and do not see through the beliefs you hold but see things as they are.
Make a commitment that no matter what your boring story was in the past and that you will live life on your own terms and conditions.
