All we
have is all we need. All we need is the awareness of how blessed we really are.
- Sarah Ban Breathnach
“The
universe revolves around me." That's a theory I heard for the first time
from a friend. And from how he derived, I felt it's kind of true too. We are
living in a world where it’s practically being followed so blindly by some and
ignored by the rest. But in a way it's good until and unless you don't turn
mean and into a snob.
When
you face the world confidently and very positively nothing absolutely nothing
could stop you from achieving what you want in life. Nothing could stop you
from exhibiting who you're in real. When in self-doubt, or when you feel that
you need someone else to exist happily, this world revolves around yourself is
the best self-booster you could find anywhere. Unless you're not important
nothing takes that tiny effort to revolve around you, or even look at you. So
when this extremely powerful and prosperous world takes that effort why can't
you take a small step to ensure your own happiness and good life. When this
world wants you, only you to be its center of attraction then why you have to
run away from it and hide somewhere not reachable. We tend to give up on our
own happy-evers knowingly and unknowingly at times. Even I tend to do that, and
most of the times it's knowingly. Why? I got plenty of reasons to justify my
own dos. But I got only one reason to back out from all those. That is a simple
"I'm not happy with that" statement. But that is the most meaningful
or logical statement you could ever make.
I am
not the right person to say about follow your heart and live your life kind of
statements. Simply because I fluctuate from doing so. But when you give up on
something you love so dearly, you get the true value of that. When you give up
your happiness and life you held so dear and near to your heart, your eyes open
to a realization that nothing else is important other than you and your happiness
and your own life. So amaze yourself by been the center of the whole universe
and create a more happy life.
Stay
blessed and have a beautiful A-Z month. All the best dear friends.
We often put other people's wants before our own when we care too much. Like you said, our own happiness should come first and it's not a matter of being selfish, but simply choosing the way you live your life. All the best to you, Sheethal!

ReplyDeleteThanks AK!
DeleteVery well said :) I feel we all need to find that balance of not taking ourselves for granted and still be compassionate about others.

Yes, finding that balance is the real thing.
Delete"The universe revolves around me" is a statement that gets a lot of flak from many people.. They don't like it when someone has the audacity to say such a thing aloud. But you've tried to change that perspective from your blog post.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Sheethal! :)

Deletewhile it may sound selfish to think of our own happiness, it is the key to keeping other happy, how can you keep others happy if you yourself aren't. I like your take on it.

In order to spread happiness and contentment, we must be happy and content, ourselves. So true!
ReplyDeleteyep! I believe that you have to look after yourself before you can look after others. That was a lesson learnt well. :) A certain amount of selfishness is always good! Lovely start, fab post!
ReplyDeleteVery well said and a beautiful quote to start the post..
ReplyDeleteIt's us who take ourselves for granted in the first place and that's where we should learn something!

So nice to see you back to regular blogging, Susan. The A to Z is truly a way to get back into the groove.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to know your own values, what you believe in, and what is important to you, and then to stand by what you know to be true. Continue on!
