My Thoughts

To be natural is such a very difficult pose to keep up. ~Oscar Wilde

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull

Offcourse I am myself, is this what you are thinking? DO you remember instances when you did not do something that you really want to do thinking about things like what people would think, its not cool, it is not PRACTICAL, its not possible or let it be? I bet you dont have to use your memory a lot to get the answers..The other day I wanted to enjoy the first rain here and there were many people on another terrace watching. What a difficult decision - Go in the rain OR think about others...I went in the rain and the consequence was I had a awesome time and others joined me too! There may be others thinking that I am a kid and am immature, and honestly I dont care. There is no fun being too practical and too matured all the time. I prefer going out and doing things that I want to do and I don"t seem to go wrong doing that. Its fun to be imperfect!

We all hear people saying “Be Yourself” but I find a few people who are actually brave enough to be SELF. Okay, there is no need to be perfect. I am extremely imperfect and I enjoy this imperfection truely. One thing that I have gifted myself is the gift of individualism. I can be either a person or an individual. I prefer being later. We are born individuals and as kids we rarely care of what others think of we doing a particular thing. May be that is why we are happiest while we are kids. But as we grow up, we learn to follow rules and do things what others would think highly of rather than doing what I want to do. In the course of being sophisticated, we tend to forget what we really enjoy doing and what truely matters.

Honestly, being yourself takes a lot of courage. What if others don’t like you thinking a particular way, doing a particular thing. I like enjoying simple things in life and I like to live my life as I feel like living. I hate the word HAVE TO and love the word WANT TO. For instance, I know that I like travelling, I like to live life in my own terms, I am not a party person, I like to talk a lot, I like to learn interesting things, I don’t like to do things just for the sake of rules and conditions. Whenever I tried to not be any of these, I felt extremely worthless and a part of a crowd with no life, living life like a machine because have to live. Believe me, I don’t mind wearing a common dress but I cant think of being an ordinary person. I think no one is ordinary, rather everyone is unique. This uniqueness comes out for the world to see and appreciate only when you take the risk of being yourself. Try it once, its awesome!

So, I prefer being myself and just being myself. What a big relief not having to wear a mask!

I know many people who want to do different good things for self and others and they take great pride in talking about them. When I ask why are you not doing it right now, the most common answer is “First I want to become something in life and get settled and then I will live my dream” My simple question is:

What if this tomorrow never comes?
What if tomorrow you may not have the health to enjoy your dream fulfilment?
What if tomorrow you don’t make the money you want to make?

Common, I am living a unique beautiful and gifted life and I can’t see it passing by without having beautiful moments in it each day. It is like watching an icecream melt away in front of you without even tasting it. The moments will be beautiful when I enjoy being myself and I am content with what I am doing (truly content, not the practical types)

Today if I die, I wont regret because I have lived my own life and have not lived a life of someone else’s choice. I will not die with “wish I did what I wanted do”

If you are not living the way you want to, trying to follow too much of bad experience to be cautious, not able to enjoy simple things in the race to be sophisticated or cool, or if you just things “Mere Chahne Se Kya Hota Hai”, I suggest please take a deep breadth and be yourself for atleast a day in truest sense. This happiness and freedom is incomparable. Shine with your true colors as a unique creation in global population of billions.

Most of the barriers are self perceived and self made, overcome them today!

I love the positive quotes in this video. Believe in yourself and be yourself. Simple recipe to have a awesome life! :)
