Survival: a dilemma

Once you attain adulthood, you tend to easily become accustomed to stress and drama in your life.

You understand that your life can be as simple or as difficult as you want to make it.

It’s your choices after all which makes you who you are currently and what will you become in future

We go through life and we realize that life is not predictable it is an intricate art of finding balance between reality and emotions.

At one point you exactly know what you want and then once you pass through it you realize oh no that was a big mistake! Why did I choose that in first place?

While writing this I’m incessantly probing myself: what is it that I really need for my survival?

First things first to talk about survival you need to let your basics covered that is food clothes and shelter!

Money is everything that you need, let’s get this straight, it’s very important to understand the value of money and the time you invest on making it, these to me are survival tools, and health goes hand in hand with it, without it, one is handicapped.

After one surpasses that layer, then comes the actual part which is where I am right now or most of us are, it’s about questioning our existence, where do we stand? Who we are? What do we really want?

What is so amazing about this life is that everything is available in abundance, it’s just the matter of how we perceive it, and what kind of words do we utter and what are our actions.

Let’s list down what i feel, what we all essentially require for our survival:

-Love

-companionship

-Hope

-creative energy

-Gumption

-Confidence

-passion

-motivation

-care/support

If you reread all of these attributes you will realize that what we genuinely need is the idea of survival, we are all by nature story tellers, if you sit around with your elders you will get to hear a lot about their survival stories, and the gist of them all, most of the time, is the way they fought through all those circumstances.

Why am I writing about it today?

I don’t wish to be just born into this world pay my bills and die, I yearn for more, there has to be something remarkable beyond the rat race, food, sex and job.

We are bestowed with the most magnificent power which is our intellect; we have been born to explore the different dimensions of this ginormous universe, and to further comprehend and utilize the power that lie within us.

If I only keep myself within the limits of the survival race I won’t be able to experience the infinite possibilities that life has for me, but sometimes, I lack the courage to do it all or I get pressured and I know it’s not just me out here who experience this solely ..

To get out of this rut, one has to push oneself in certain uncomfortable circumstances; otherwise life will strategically place you in such position where you have to take the plunge no matter what the odds are.

Often times there will be few people who will push and motivate you and dig out those innermost talents hidden in you which are actually your true calling.

When you genuinely follow your inner calling, survival does not become a dilemma for you, it becomes a play or a game which you enjoy thoroughly like a child.

Chasing Love or chasing what you love?

I call myself a nomad; a wanderer, I am mostly living in my imaginary world, the outside events just keep happening around me, and I most often tend to get succumb to those,  I feel such experiences over powers me into becoming this peculiar personality who is lost in her own world; aloof and not surrounded by the crowd. But when I sit with myself and ask what is that I truly desire, the only answer that follows is love! In search of which I’m running around like a maniac. But what kind of love and why love ? The basis of such un heard of mind-set develops since childhood and then it grows with external experiences, however the internal chemistry remains essentially unchanged no matter what happens around you. Life is always going to be unpredictable and challenging, what makes you, YOU! Shouldn’t change, one can evolve and learn but your core remains unaffected. Every time I end up chasing it I question myself why? You don’t need to run after it, it’s within you. It’s ...

Do the Dishes to dis the Discomfort!

As tongue twisting as it sounds, dish washing is genuinely like that job which you hate doing, but have to get succumb to it, because you want to eat those scrumptious meals and pickles and all those greasy stuff, as many times as you want to, but there isn’t any house help available, especially amidst this lock down. To be truthful, I have my whole family living together, and for us eating is like breathing(Exaggeration!),a lmost every hour every other person is found slurping or gulping something from the kitchen. Moreover, we have our beloved pets living with us,so there are separate set of utensils for them as well. Yes, our kitchen is open 24/7 for every creature, with our sink welcoming dishes like, one of those not so spacious but stuffed buses on the road which we see accommodating, countless passengers, as many as they can load, and even then, there is plenty of space left on the top, so they fill that area too, and if that is also occupied then we can see peopl...

Self Discovery: is it important?

  Seldom have we found ourselves in the midst of monotony, only if we stop and question our state of mind from time to time! What is it which keeps us going? Is it our goals? Fear of unknown? Or is it our liabilities? In order to survive we do need to pay our bills, however to be able to cater our emotions we must understand the why of our existence. What make us unique from everyone else around us are our individual experiences and our response to those obstacles or opportunities which we face along our journey. Our intellect is the supreme entity but for it to function on an optimal level we must bestow it with a map which will ultimately provide us with various strategies to navigate our lives according to our priorities. From where will we find that map? Through our knowledge, experiences, the people we meet, the kind of principle with which we lead our lives. Life becomes droning, because we have hemmed in ourselves from exploring the plethora of knowledge, dif...
