Walking the Path

Many times in our lives we feel confused, we don’t understand our purpose on earth and sometimes, we don’t feel anything good about our lives.  We feel stuck, lost and often lose hope. This state of confusion happens to everyone or must have happened to each and every one of us in one or many stages of life, and it is indeed one of the most natural feelings of being human. However no one has ever known the future, as it can be known only when we make our way through the present, one has to go through the whole process, there is no fast forward and there is no rewind. The present is where we reside and we all have to face it no matter good or worst, no one can jump this process or even skip to the next level. We must learn to face the situations, it’s never easy though but if we take all the situations with a peaceful mind and a peaceful heart we would be able to see the good in everything. 

Chaos is not my cup of tea as well, but over the years I have learnt to control my mind through reading good thoughts, keeping good company, always thinking positive and mostly feeling all the time grateful for what I have. We must learn to do it one step at a time; if we look up to the faces of our loved ones and think that our actions should be such that we bring peace to them this will richly fill our hearts’ and life with peace. Nobody is alone here, in one way or another our lives are connected to those we live with and therefore the first step to increase the amount of love in our lives’ is to completely fall in love with ourselves. Feel your worth, create that vision where you wish to see yourself and keep doing the things you do in your everyday life with a grateful heart and without even knowing your aura will surround you and take you in the most respectful and safe place you need to be. You will be loved, understood and even more the people around you will love your energy so much that slowly with time they will start aligning themselves’ with the same energy.  However this process will not become visible in one day or overnight but only with time but you will surely notice the difference.

In most cases people try to see the fault in others, expecting others to behave exactly the way they want or think is right. This is the main reason of all the chaos, we create them. If we try to see people from their hearts’ and not by their behavior perhaps it would then become easy to understand whether to merge or not with that person’s energy.

Discovering the Path

Living our lives surrounded with the people who have different perspectives and on many occasions when we are not understood, our views or speech are misinterpreted, could feel like an indirect attack on our whole being. We all have diverse talents and our thought processes’ are varied and often not alike, but amid this diversity finding the balance between persisting with the adversities and yet keeping the light alive inside the heart could be challenging as well it could bring greater difficulties than we can imagine. For many years I was under the impression that I have to follow the same path that most people in marriages do, they totally loose themselves in the journey by accepting the pattern marriages are designed. What I am trying to focus is that we often believe the path that our soul mate walks upon is going to be our path throughout. We often tend to lose our identities as human as soul, but life always gives chance and we need to understand this. We can always take than chance and make the choice what our heart desires to do, where it desires to be. It will be all difficult in the beginning but if we keep the faith things change, people change and circumstances too. Understanding and realizing this truth was the biggest challenge to me but I didn’t let that craving to follow my heart die inside of me. I discovered the path only through walking side by side along my partner in the journey, through thick and thin and in the process I didn’t realized when the paths diverted into two.  This is true that we hold hands of our soul mate, of our friends of many other people we meet, but we walk our path on our own.

Knowing the Journey

Once we know where we want to go, or perhaps we become aware what we would love to do in our life, then the biggest truth that needs to be known is that in the times of light and in the darkness our soul will guide us. Never feel alone even if we have only walls to talk to they are not blocking our path, they are testing our strengths’. We all are like tree whose journey is decided, it will grow against every odd. The thorns of life might try to stop us or even hurt us, the mind a true wanderer much like branches could grow anywhere but it will always remain attached to the stem, our body. Wind will come to shook us from roots, but rain will soothe us from inside and one day we will grow from a sapling to a tree. Reaching the heights and blossoming even when our bodies might be surrounded by thorns. Future will always remain a mystery and perhaps therefore knowing the journey of life would never be possible but knowing the path is, therefore we must rise above all the circumstances keeping the faith that even through the diversities we will make it home.

“The bends and the holes, I fell I rise, I live and I die, am walking the path till I know.”
