X: I am scared of the unknown. I am scared of people who i know were not by my side when I needed them, of traditions which I know are stale, am scared of being rejected, of the fear of not being loved by my loved ones.. I am scared of myself.
This fear of getting scared is not weakness – it is strength, because it helps you judge where you should stand, by what value you should live. Weakness is … not to dream your dream. Weakness is … to not work out your dream. Weakness is … to not go against ppl whom you love, failing to realise they ll always be with you. Weakness is … the fear of rejection, the fear of being faced with criticism. Weakness is … to deny, what you desired for your every breath, when it is just one step away. Weakness is … to not realise what you dreamt, to be able to see it live in reality. Weakness is … not to follow your heart when it was most required. Weakness is … not to convert your weakness to your strength. Thinking, judging, assessing, weighing is needed – it lets u assess your strength, analyse your position, but an overdose of it makes a hamlet out of you – morphing all your strength to weaknesses. One needs to strike a balance between thinking and doing. Whats of utmost importance is which should come first and when? To define when it should be impulsive and when it should be a result of combined balanced thought process. Whether or not, we can strike this balance, we need to act, act our gut feeling, or is such a pursuit mere wishful thinking?
In order to explore your very own self, your core, you need to lose yourself. The value lies not in reaching the destination, it lies in the journey, in the experience you had all along the way. In hindi we have a saying “Jeevan kshanbhangur hai.” – it is all temprorary. Your good time, bad time, the life you lived, and the ppl with whom u lived it, everything.. it disintegrates with time, loses its essence, demeans its value. What remains is in your mind, memory of the times you lived and in heart, the people whom you lived it with. We tend to find an easy way out, all the time, failing to realize, this escape from the temprorary discomfort might result in losing something far more valuable, far more precious, far more important. Your very own soul. Your core.
Follow your heart and work your mind to achieve it. And if you can do that on a regular basis, from time to time, you are not weak.
