Many would wonder why come I am writing blog on such a topic. They will question “Do I have enough understanding of the topic to justify it?”
This is first of my series of blogs (the rest will surely follow) and I wanted to write about a topic which is closest to my heart.
Do you often see people with the best of luxuries and comforts but still no peace at mind? They have what they always desired of but still mental peace is eluding them. So what brings us at peace in our inner self. I call this as “connecting to one’s inner self”. I am not a spiritual guru to give a clear path for spiritual enlightenment but I can surely let you people know what works for me. Here I am listing few things which help me “connect to myself”:
Did you ever bring a smile on someone’s face, someone totally stranger to you? That someone could be a call center guy who called you up to buy credit card, an auto rickshaw walla, a beggar who came to your car at a crossing. You have to try that once to know the benefits of it. I try doing that often and it certainly helps me.
When was the last time you got up in the morning and went for a jog? Just try it once to see what a beautiful world God has created for us. Generally we are so engrossed in out thought process that we miss out what nature does daily to make us happy. Go out and drench yourself completely in rain. No feeling can match that feeling. When I did that first time I was really surprised to see number of people just standing to get soaked in water and most importantly I could see people of every age.
Listen to music. Music is great way to connect to yourself. Every now and then dance. Dance like you have no fear, no worries.
Do something which you fear. This will make you understand importance of your life. When I started learning swimming, I always went for deepest area of pool, just because I was in fear of it. Whenever I swam across the pool, it gave me sense of achievement.
Go that extra mile to know the strength God has given you. When you think that you could exercise only for an hour, go for that extra fifteen minutes, you will know the special powers God has given you.
Love your work and do it passionately. Work gives us satisfaction that no other thing can give. We always tend to relate work with rewards but do you work for your own satisfaction. You will be more content man.
Now comes the million dollar question why I want to tell you people about this. I think that “My Spirituality” helps whenever chips are down or I am faced with challenging situation. I see a new beginning when other people only see “dead end”.
This time round I chose topic which is more related to always getting best of our selves and fight difficult situations in life. I will digress from this in my next blog. I have already thought about the topic “Why I envy SRK”.
Looking forward to see you again at my blogspace.
