Bliss

By Huda Sultana

I’ve been wanting to quit, wanting to run away, break all the things around me, wanting to fall,

wanting to scream and wanting to finally give up!!!

I’ve always been asking these questions to myself…

Why do people want to live? What makes them so happy? Why do they choose to live? Why do

people smile? How are some people so into life?

I observe them smile. Their eyes filled with joy. Their presence passing such a positive vibe when

they are beside me. They fill every moment of their life they live with joy. They are so full of life.

How does life make it so simple for them?

I look at the sky. It’s clear today, without a speck of dust. It’s been raining so heavily the past few

days. Finally, the clouds have disappeared and the thunder has lost its way to my ears. The sky as

though it has decided to shut down and pour all its sorrows. The clouds were meant to fall. Nothing

that can be held for a long time. It’s soothing and relaxing in the outside. But how about the inside?

Working each day to live a better life in the near future or way far away. We all have journeys to

meet. Some fail, some win. Yet we keep going. Some loose and give up. Some work it out yet fail.

Some keep trying and then one fine day give up after all the possible disappointments they

experience. Amidst all these we adopt to a path and keep working ourselves in that very path. We

would have failed so many times that we eventually set a single path for ourselves.

At this point, it’s very essential for you to ask this one question to yourself. Is it ok for you to shift to

something new or may be explore? Is it right to try something new?

And the answer is….

It’s ok to try new things! Its perfectly ok to explore! Explore beyond your domain. Explore beyond

your reach. What if there are whole bunch of opportunities still waiting for you? What if you like

something much more than you like right now? What if you do super amazing in that? How will you

know without trying?

Maybe it took you two, three or five years to realize something that will take a couple of months to

give you a huge victory. What if you were trimmed with failure to grow sharp, tall and way beyond

you could possibly imagine? What if the smartness, intelligence and excellence come smoothly and

tremendously in this niche?

Why wait? You are not in your late 60s or so. You can give it a try. What if your 20 years of earning

show up in a year or two or even in a matter of 6-7 months?

And after knowing how much goodness you can possibly do what if you can start even at your late

60s? Your path would be new and different, a less traveled or a very basic one. It’s ok no one will

punish you. Stop believing your mind so much. So, why not try?

Let’s make this open to both the sides. What is you fail? It’s fine at least you have tried. You might

not notice it but your confidence would have raised. You would have been away from the vast

crowd. You are better than so many normal people. You belong to a very mere percentage of people

who choose to try. And you can certainly go back to your old niche if at all you fail. Yet it’s a victory

because you’d be doing things so smoothly and amazingly now. It’s ok to try. It’s absolutely ok! It’s

really going to be okay!

You’d have learnt about “the three essentials”: courage, strength and your energy level. You’d have

learnt how far you can push yourself. You would have already learnt about your capability if any

challenge shows up. And it matters so much. So much more than the accomplishment. And most of

all WHAT IF YOU WIN!

Now, getting back to the people of “good vibes”. They live every bit not because they’ve got it all

and enough. But they’d have started learning about “the three essentials”. They try. They learn. They

explore. They live the process. They love the process. They choose that lifestyle. They choose the

attitude. They choose being happy. They CHOOSE!

Travel to a quiet place. Look at the nature around you. Step inside the nature(mentally). Close your

eyes let the wind/breeze touch your face. Let the rain droplets fall on your face. Can you feel your

presence? This is the power you possess. Feel your presence. This very moment is yours. It’s hidden.

Pay attention. Search it, find it and spend it. This is true bliss and this realization is yours, yours and

only yours to use.
