When you have a gun, but you aren’t choosing to shoot anyone, then that peace is your choice. When you have a million, but you aren’t choosing to make unnecessary spendings, then that minimalistic life is your choice. When you have a powerful voice in society & you are respected by many, but you are choosing to be compassionate, then that kindness is your choice. Without the previous the later has no value.
Your capabilities must determine your choices. Your choice for peace, kindness & compassion makes no sense unless you are successful in life.
There’s a reason I have huge disagreements with modern day preaching of KINDNESS. Imagine there’s a beggar on streets who’s kindly asking for some money or food or help, that kindness is not his choice, that kindness is his only way to approach you, that kindness is forced on him because of his situation. I don’t think you should value that kindness at that point, but please choose to help him looking at his situation.
Now let’s pick another situation where a successful person who’s kind enough to give his employees an extra day off at work or some bonus or he chooses to help someone anyway possible under his capabilities without clicking a picture for social media clout. That wasn’t forced on him, that kindness was his choice, that kindness says his upbringing was right & that kindness says his values+morals are in sync with humanity. I value such KINDNESS.
Have a goal. Wake up earlier. Smile. Start to run. Make your breakfast. Travel. Cuddle your horse. Say “I adore you” to someone. Laugh. Discover something new about yourself & others. Sing. Dance. Own a business. Sleep well. Go to that specific place you desire. Be in peace with yourself. Take a picture on the top of that mountain.
No matter the kind of goal, have one. And fight for it. Wake up everyday with motivation, and fall asleep with a smile. Live your life to the fullest, every second. Do exactly what you want, and accomplish it. You are the master of your life. You decide. You create. So go. Never doubt of your capacities, and go.
Long ago, a man went to see a circus show. Before the show began, he saw that a lot of elephants were held by only a small rope tied to their leg. The man suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that such huge creatures were being held by such a thin yet small rope.
There were no chains and no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could break away the ropes at any time from their bonds but for some reason they weren’t even trying. The man saw the elephant’s trainer standing next to elephants. He was curious to know why the elephants weren’t trying to escape from here.
To this, the trainer told him that they were like this since the time they were very young. At that time, it was enough to hold them. As they grew up, they were conditioned to believe they could not break away. They believed the rope could still hold them. On hearing this, the man was completely shocked. He was looking at the elephants in a pity and he went away from there.
Moral of the story:
High chances you are your biggest hurdle on your path to success & a joyful life.
We all survive with a “FALSE HUMAN BELIEF” doubting our own strength which lowers our self-esteem, self-respect, capacity & capabilities. Keep working on yourself & you will experience a better version of yourself with time.
