The Search

By Sumol Suresh

Who are we really? An evolutional masterpiece or life’s begetting baton?

Aren’t we staged according to society’s expectations, the people we love and who influence us? A blank canvas that unveils the qualities of surviving the unknown. But if we are gathering and mirroring others, how would we know who we really are?

There comes a point in our life when all this gathering becomes a baggage – a burden to us as it’s not ours in the first place. That’s when some of us break, trying to figure it out. This point is a very crucial, delicate course, as this will be the time, we decide to make a change. There is no right or wrong decision to make, only what is dependent is the circumstances. Despite our constant effort, one thing is for sure, this “point” will become incessant if not handled with care.

As we grow and learn from our experiences, we become unaffected by peoples’ perceptions of us, we will no longer feel the need to be accepted by others. We do not feel that somebody’s approval is what is holding us back. This stage of our life is pure bliss and also a very huge responsibility because it takes time for us to keep that momentum constant and uninterrupted. Once you cross that threshold… it’s liberation… the light at the end of the tunnel.

You will never ever see life as you did before, as the next stage is idyllic. The best part if I may add is that you will realize and identify that everything you went through was necessary. All of those patterns that you might or might not have noticed were slowly aligning themselves to guide you to where you have reached right NOW!

Hence, even if it doesn’t make sense right now thank yourself for who you are and who you’ve become. Because it was NECESSARY and that is all we need to understand as of now.

The search for happiness leads to unhappiness, happiness isn’t in what you do not have, it is in what you already have. Do not overcomplicate things, keep things at ease and let them not interfere with your journey.

Life is a journey of discovering who we really are, the purpose is in identifying your true self. Are you willing to live your life if you did know how it all ends up, would you put your effort into changing the things that seem inevitable? That is the joy, the bliss of living!
