As we all know, life is so strange that it is hard to understand, yet at the same time, I feel it is so amazing that I can’t even put it into words. I often see people around me and people away from me reacting to their daily lives. Sometimes, I even wonder inside me, thinking about what might be going on in their heart, mind, and thoughts. Why are they reacting like this? Why is this world like this? Why so many illusions on our mind?
It is a never-ending topic to talk about and discuss. The more we go, the more we dip inside it and hardly find the exit way of it. I don’t know why, but somehow thoughts like this keep passing by my mind quite often these days.
It is often said that life is the best teacher of all time. We just need to be patient and understand its teaching. Time by time, it teaches you the most valuable lesson of your life. Sometimes it even makes you realize that you are wasting this precious life for nothing but your anger, pride, lust, greed, ego, fear of others, which doesn’t matter in reality at all, and so on.
Here is a small list of things that I really wish to change about myself or incorporate into my daily routine. I truly believe that it will change my life ups and downs, and so will yours.
- Make a habit of reading:
In today’s generation, I feel there is nothing more powerful than knowledge. I even personally believe that once we make a habit of reading whatever we love, like stories, novels, or news (though it is for reading and we can read and get information out of it, I personally don’t recommend this one, will talk about why later sometime in details in the future, I strongly recommend all of you to read the middle article parts of the newspapers as we get enormous knowledge from there. If you already read this, then you are not other than a genius, or if you just read the horoscope somewhere in the newspaper, then you are out of the league. It’s better you correct yourself as soon as you find out that you have been on the wrong bus for a long time.), poems, etc. It truly enhances our brain power and lifts our inner confidence, which always benefits us.
It’s not that I have a habit of reading books. It’s what I want: changes in myself. I even always spent most of my valuable time just watching political news, seeing horoscopes, having meaningless conversations with friends, watching reels on social media, etc. Somehow it came on my mind, and I found it revolutionary, so I shared it in front of you. You might also find it beneficial for you and your family as well. You can also make a habit of reading and feel the difference within yourself. Good luck to you😊
- Free from the fear of nothing
It is another important thing that I want to change within myself. It is the most common problem of all of us that we all get fear from that doesn’t exist in reality. For example, fear of what people might think is the one dragging us every time. We usually concentrate on fear rather than the solution behind it. Another is the fear of the future, such as what will happen? What if I remain poor? What if they see me in this position? Here we unnecessarily compare others with us. Here we often question but never search for solutions. Even if we get a solution, we never give it a chance. By chance, if we start, we leave in the middle of nowhere, so we never reach the final destination. It is guaranteed that if you keep moving, you will get what you want. It might take time, but you will get it for sure. Your effort is not going to waste. It will return to you in some way.
- Overcome the unnecessary shyness
This one is actually nothing, but I find it is a huge one. It might not be your problem; it could be someone else’s, like mine. If I simply go through my past, I wasn’t like this at all. I was fully different, full of confidence, joyful (still I am), etc. As the time wore on, I felt like many things came on. There is something I feel is causing a burden on me, but I am still not being able to remove it completely. I think this is the one. I feel lucky that I can clearly see it in my mind every time it arises there. Now I really want to get rid of it. And if you are also facing the same problem, then you can also give it a chance and be a free bird.
- Spiritually awakening
This one is quite interesting. The main reason I put this on this list is to express my thoughts over our religions and their beliefs. Now we have come so far enough to be able to search for the true meaning behind every religion we have. There are different types of people with different beliefs and especially thoughts. We are all different in some way. But the point after the spiritual awakening is to find out the essence of the religion.
You might be a Christian, and Jesus Christ might be your favorite. Being a Hindu, I really don’t know much about him, but I fully love him and even pray in his name. Same goes to the Muslim, and I do the same. I love Allah as much as I love Christ and my own Hindu gods, as in Hinduism we believe that we are all one. There are different paths, but all of them ultimately lead us to the one that is our own true self, which we call it Atma. I will talk about it in details later, explaining why there are many gods in Hinduism.
My whole point is to sit above all of this religious nonsense happening these days and scientifically follow the religion and get the best out of it.
- Bringing changes inside
I might not follow any of these here, but I don’t have a second option for this one. It’s like do or die for me. I think it must be the same for you as well. No need to worry if you are pure from inside. No need to follow any religion if you are true and pure from the inside. No need to go to temples, churches, masjids, gumbas, synagogues, pagodas, and shrines if you are divine from inside. First, I want to purify my thoughts so they can help me make my actions and speech pure. Yes, it is the most difficult thing in this world to get control over our mind and thoughts. But if we keep looking, it will be controlled and be our best friend, and we will get the ultimate truth, the final liberation from this endless life.
- Nature of observing life
Just like the Lord Krishna said to Arjun that you are nothing more than an observer. I also want to be the observer of my own life and see how it evolves. Want to see all the thoughts coming and going closely without any reaction on them. I want to see how the people come, live, then go; thoughts come and go; sorrow comes and goes; happiness comes and goes; and different emotions come and go. I want to be the observer of all of them. I don’t want to be emotionally drained. I want to believe that I am way beyond all of these changes. I want to believe that all of these can’t affect me.
- Know the purpose of this life
This might sound strange, but somehow I feel lost in this world. Every time I try to understand the true purpose of my life, I always return bare hands. It’s not that I don’t exactly get the purpose of my life, but something inside me doesn’t want to listen whenever I say that I am here to find God within me and serve the God outside in everywhere and everything. Thus, now I desire to bring this inside me. I want to be conscious and mindful of every movement. I know it’s easy to put in words but difficult to actually follow through. Here I wish to the Lord of this universe to help me in every step of my life.
- Being Truthful
This is what I have been trying so hard to follow for a while. Logically thinking, it is so easy and also powerful to make a simple habit of speaking the truth. Because of too many worldly things, this simple thing becomes a gigantic one. I don’t know what happens inside me; the movement I have to speak the truth, something strange arises and tries to stop me. I have even heard a lot about the power of being truthful. I have heard that if anyone follows the path of truth, they will never regret their life.
- Maintain Consistency
Last but not least, I have mostly struggled because of not being consistent throughout my entire life. I know the problem; I even badly want to solve the problem, but again, something inside, my bad habits of not being consistent and many more, always overcome me. I think I know that everything takes time but eventually leads us to a point. But again, it’s the same story: my bad habits lead me to stop things in the middle of nowhere. Now from this movement, I really need to think about it. I must follow consistency and enjoy life.
