Are you a tired soul with an heavy heart?
Do you ever find someone telling that life is easy especially when you are growing up? But yes, you must have come across several acquaintances , who tell us just how difficult it could get. Perhaps, it could be the toughest thing to peer into the eyes of kids and let them understand the pain and loss they would be experiencing , beyond anything they could have ever imagine now.
Experiencing pain and difficulty are integral parts of a human life. They are as equally crucial as experiencing joy, affection and tranquility.
In fact, being alive in the form of human being is a ceaseless journey of duality. Being a human, we are prone to feel the most incredible highs of wisdom and elegance and the most soul-crushing nasty lows. This stream of pain and pleasure flows over and over again, without being aware of what to expect the next sequel, and with the burden of grief of knowing that we could be as awful as the worst among us.
Despite these all over, it is extremely vital feeling to love yourself completely. No matter, how you have been through your toughest times, but forgiving yourself is a great act of kindness. Your individual growth is not about getting rid of your dark side, but it is totally about acceptance. Accepting hatred, negativity, anguish are equally important as accepting love, positivity and cheerfulness.
As a matter of fact, life becomes more serene and awakening experience, if you learn to accept the negative things without regretting yourself and understanding that it is completely fair to experience grief and sorrow as a human being right from the inception.
After all, you cannot insist yourself to be happy and sad all the time. You don’t need to experience any other way than how how are experiencing right here, right now.
Remember, you are an eternal soul! You are the soul of the whole. Your existence is an assortment itself. So, you will experience pain again, but you will also experience contentment. Yes, you will experience optimism, pessimism, jubilation, annoyance, bliss and so on.
Actually, you are a balancing act, and you were never meant to be anything else!
Precisely, the essence of our existence is so clear but few among us realize — that there would no happiness without sorrow, no love without deprivation, no completeness without emptiness. However, our existence is in abundant assortments. We exist to perceive all of the good things along with bad ones, just as the polarity is a gist of being positive as well as negative.
And this is what no one talks about. Life is a complete package of roller-coaster — exciting and horrifying, frightening and gripping. Although human life is arduous but still manageable. It is highly impossible to appreciate the smooth unless you explore the rough path. This entire cycle of dawn and dusk goes hand-in-hand to help us realize the depth of experience that we wake up and take for granted each day.
Being peaceful is a prolong process which takes great wisdom and compassion. It takes wisdom to wake up every morning and keep going when all you want is everything to cease. Being courageous is not about getting fearful but it is something being able to experience it and carry on regardless.
Eventually, nothing will last forever, neither your pain nor your joy. This too will pass. So, learn to balance it with wilful courage. Yes, the other side of it is the rest of your life- bad times, sure; but also the good ones with new light of dawn, new beginning, new aura of sunrise, beautiful morning, rejuvenating air, soothing green fields and beyond.
