Discover Yourself …

First, this blog was supposed to be up by yesterday. Unavoidable circumstances cropped up. There … move on. Feel free to ask me what went down. You will be sorry you asked, believe it! 

Now, after that sorry excuse, we move on…

There is something about being who you are. This is not an inspirational piece, but even if it were, so? I think you can really use some inspiration. Believe me when I say it really reeks of inspiration.

I think people reach a time in their lives when they offer no excuse for being themselves. They no longer care what others think and they want to better themselves. This brings joy.

Of course this comes with a price. Fortunately, the price looks trivial when compared to the result.

Discovering yourself is all about being a better you. Frankly, I’m yet to see someone who discovered he or she was not fit to be a him or a her. I am not talking about a gender reassignment change. I am talking of an entire overhaul. If you have any proof of realization that you are just not you, talk to me. It’s urgent!

Now, when people see you for the first time, they may write you off but it is upon you to embark on the journey of discovery. You need to reconcile with your inner self and find yourself. Only you can do that. No one else can. Not your spouse, parent, nobody!

But, a higher power can. Let me not talk much on this topic. Ask somebody in this profession. I can only speak for myself here.

Anyway, I read somewhere that someone is of the opinion that people go to the net to rant and rave about trivial things. I have a variety of questions for that guy. But, it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect me at all. People who have discovered their purpose in life do not get tremors because of such statements. While I don’t agree with everything I read, it opens you up to people’s thoughts. It helps you understand what is going on in a different sphere.

I have discovered that you cannot change people. You can only hope they change. Sometimes, they don’t. Sometimes, they do. Cliches are not true! But majority of clichés will make you have a bad day because it kinda has some truth. I have examined some clichés and I am unhappy to admit to some sort of truth. I don’t know which half that truth is!

Well’ maybe I do. I guess I just don’t care.

The harder you try to change people, the more they find you a nuisance and the more they won’t bend to your will. And, the more you will never get what you want. I have seen the truth to that.

Get close to such people and use their own language (not literally although literally would be good). Talk to them in a way they will listen. Say it only once. Don’t keep repeating things; you are wasting your saliva.

Don’t try too hard. Just enough to call it a try. Then be who you are and forget about people who bog you down. Dare to be different. Start with being bold. Then, you will discover who you are.

Discovery will never go with cowardice.

Be bold.

If people don’t hear you, move on. After all, it is their life. Live yours. Walk away from crap. Believe me, you don’t need it! It will just eat your joy. And you don’t want that.

Be free. Be you. Discover who you are and be the best at it because no one else can make another you!

I really hope you have discovered yourself. If not, please do so.

It is one happy step for you.
