The day unfolds in front of me and I see the tiny particles of sand in the small beam of light that shines on my face from the window beside me, I see that day has started and that I need to start acting out my daily chores. But in this mundane and monotonous set of events that surround me, I see that I have been falling in love, not with a person, but with my energy. It gives me happiness beyond compare when I see myself rising back from the shackles of inner despair and instilling in myself the positivity with which I was once so full of. Maybe the bad tide has passed, maybe it hasn't but what I am sure of is that I have garnered enough belief to continue with whatever has been my aim and focus on things that I love even in the sight of danger.
I walk today not because I am being forced to in a certain direction but because I am loving the feel of the thorns piercing through my feet as I know what awaits me is far more precious than the pain that I taste at this hour.
Maybe I had become timid in the past as my dreams were not on their right course making me rethink on my dreams altogether. What I have understood now is that it never was about the dream, but the execution to it that will make the difference. No one was stopping me and no one is now, then my feet should automatically embrace what lies ahead and expect the worst out of the situation so that the least of happiness can make me glad and content.
Someone yesterday asked me how can I feel energetic and content at the same time, well, My energy is in me being content and the more that happens, the more I want to change the definition of what makes me feel content. As I see it, the end, that final goal that I will strive my whole life to get, is the final thing that can make me content. The final goal of Serving others. I seek all this energy not to bestow myself with cars and riches but to give others, the not so privileged a chance to stand beside me and compete with me and beat me, that would make me content, satisfied, as I will create opportunities that others could work on and live a much more happier life. All I need is that smile, the smile a young girl on the street has when you give her something to eat, the smile of the old uncle who you like listening to and the smile of all those people who you talk politely and with love to, that will be all I need to continue on this long and beautiful journey.
I believe the world can be such a better place if all we share were smile and all we cared about was the smile of others, the peace of others and the well being of those around us, as they are the source of our happiness and joy.
So yes, every step in this direction that I take brings me closer to God, more content and much more energetic as to the future that my life entails. Good tales cannot be written as well as they could be lived. So I take the example of Mother Teresa and think that if she could affect the community around her in such a soulful way, why can't I?
What am I to lose in this? I believe nothing. Then why not give it all that I have and sow this seed so that the shade of this tree can be used by generations to come, so that with their blessings and prayers, I might be remembered not for my riches but for my compassion.
