It is hurting to see people thinking success is more likes and more claps. It is not, it is just a buzz, that gives momentary spike and fades.
Come on guys, you know life is full of opportunities, colors and directions. I don’t have to tell it to you. You know it; life is fun, happiness and love. I don’t have to hammer it on your head. Life is cool. You know it, your father knows it and your distant angry cousin knows it.
For a moment — agree to Disagreement
Do not judge anybody. Do not label bad names to your loved ones. Do not put burden on them. If they tell you what hurts them, simply, solve it; “stop doing it”.
When we fail to overcome our inner fear we lose conscious and ultimately we lose what we love or our loved ones. Fear makes us selfish, distracted and lost. Fear tells us, we are in need of control, when instead we are in control of fear. Do not let fear stop you — from living to your true potential.
You have the potential, you only need minor adjustments in your day to day life, to get back to smiling and laughing. You have all the ingredients to make your living Fun. Problem begins, when you let your fears, limit your potential.
If you agree — get on to “Acting”
Without “acting” you do not gain momentum. Without momentum you do not find the Will to face your fear. With out facing your fear, you do not tame it. Without colliding, failing, falling and hauntings — you do not learn to live.
Honestly, you never succeed in this world. We muslims think Prophet PBUH won, but, he also did not make it all come true. He did not spread light the way he wanted. He didn’t make it all happy, cosy and fun. He was convinced, finally; that success is only “living in the moment” — the present, now, the ride, rolling, moving, breezing past our face, is the real success.
Get on to acting, on your discovered principles. You will maximum fail, lose some money, get a label, but you will have tried sooner. Sooner you will have faced the consequences and understood the right path. Sooner you will have lived how you really want to live.
Believe in yourself — believe me
Your closed ones are the first to tell you, you are not good enough. You will find a mentor, a teacher, a friend. But until you do not believe in yourself, you won’t grow courage, discover methods and rightly calculate consequences.
None in this world will believe in you, if you do not believe. If you sell your call time, night walks and prescriptions for no cost; no one will value it for you. No one will honor your sweating. None around you will respect your greetings. If you put a stop today to, selling the tiny parts of your life, Free, you will find the impact of believing in yourself.
Believe in yourself. And that is it. You are, what you think of yourself. You do not need validation. You do not need guidance. You do not need empathy and claps. You have it already. You have your canvas, your pen and your time, to draw the best painting in the world. You have focus, to write the best book out there. You have your laptop to write the best programs in the world.
Unless you believe in yourself, you do not stand a chance at making your roar louder in this crowd. The crowd will over run you. It will suffocate you. It will beat you to your knees. It will tell you, you lost sanity, and at this moment, other than the “believe” in yourself — none will help you.
Conclusion
We all love each other. We all care about each other. We all want to help. We all want to hold on to our peddles, row together, steer our ship out of the storm. We all know, we are going through our storm.
We fail, when we stop admitting it. When we let pride steer our life. We fail, when we let our need of validation control us, paint it with sweet words and rub it on others’ faces. We fail, when we let superficial smiles, fake likes and meaningless follower-counts, control our actions.
A dislike, a moment of silence, a period of no claps, and some duration of no money, does not mean you are lacking / lagging / failing. It is a moment to teach you, you are sailing all on your own. It is some place, invisible, teaching you, you are enough alone. You are enough success, enough happy, enough health. It teaches you, you alone can live fine. You alone, if believe in yourself, can beat it all.
I know, you label me insane, but what is sane. What and who and why and how and wheres. I do not find answers anywhere else, but in Quran. I do not find it anywhere, but in the life of Prophet PBUH.
Love yourself.
