Have you ever received a reality pinch from life?
No, this isn’t the pinch you give yourself when you find yourself in a surreal situation. This pinch is different.
You have been living your life just exist. That’s right, you just exist. You have no right to tell people that you are living your life. Because if you were, you wouldn’t be walking around like a zombie. A zombie, that cribs about how pathetic the state of everything around him is. Oh no, you would be your own knight in shining armor.
We weren’t given this life just to exist. We were meant to strive for betterment, challenge old schools of thought, raise uncomfortable questions, have a belief system of our own, be vulnerable and most of all – Be Human.
Blindly accepting our “pathetic” fate, we’ve lived this far. But not anymore, we owe it to ourselves to live a life we would be proud of. A life where we follow our dreams, without thinking about
| “Log kya khenge?”
Along with this freedom to follow our dreams we must not ignore our responsibility, as a human being, towards our fellow living creatures.
Stop the internal whining. Don’t just go through the motions, be intentional.
Maybe you’ve already had your dose of reality pinch from life. Maybe you haven’t.
If you have, then don’t let those shaken up brain cells go into another slumber. Keep the fire alive.
And if you haven’t, learn to be more mindful of your surroundings.
Don’t underestimate the creative genius in you; we all have one. Harness it more often.
Wake Up. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
