Know Yourself! Be Yourself!

 

Few days before, in a serene evening when I was engrossed in my own company, a wave of thought whispered by me and I felt little inclined to share those tiny pieces of ponderings to you…

Have you seen yourself? Have you met yourself?

You may think what am I asking…Isn’t it? After all we all see ourselves almost daily in a mirror, or in someone’s eyes. Certainly, we do always take chance to cast a glance at our looks. So much so that we keep collections of our every encounter with us in a form of selfie now a days and post the same on social media in expectations of some likes…I hope I am right?

But Have We Really Seen Our Self?

We can’t deny that whenever we look at our reflection, we try to judge our appearance by others point of view. ‘What he or she thinks about me’ matters most to us always or whether ‘I am looking like him or her’ etc... etc... We never see our self with our own eyes. Rather we never see our self in our entire life. We always see our reflections or give importance to others’ views about us.

We Never See Our Inner Side

Not long before unfortunate demise of successful Coffee Baron -Chairman of Café Coffee Day – V.G. Siddharth and more recently the death of celebrated Young Actor of Indian Film Industry -Sushant Singh Rajput- have opened up a heated debate on almost all the platforms now a days – About Depression.

We can’t allege above cases as results of depression but certainly Depression is a fast-growing menace in the society today which is engulfing the youth mostly - barring the success rate or social status.

Why This Depression?

Because we give up to the situations, circumstances and allow our self to fall into the deep dark void of depression.

We fail to think and realise that situations or circumstances are always volatile. What is present today is going to be past tomorrow. We fail to understand that we are constant and we have to evolve our self constantly without falling victim to the momentary situations or circumstances. But we are not able to do that because so far, we have not explored our true potential. We can do many more things in comparison to what we are doing right now. We are not at all aware of our entire inner strength.  We only know what is told to us, about us, by others. We always try to meet others’ expectations.  Entire life either we try to meet expectations of others or try to idolize others to be like them. We never try to be what we truly are or what we could truly become by the strengths of our own potentials. Because we have never seen ourselves in true sense and we have formed a certain set of limitations around us based on others’ perceptions, so much so that we never even think of crossing those limitations. We keep strolling along with the ever-growing height of aspirations within that boundary of limitations and give up some day eventually.  

There is a famous quote –"You should not judge a book by its cover even though you have read its 1 or 2 pages"

This wisdom applies to us too. We should not identify ourself by just 1 or 2 pages of out entirety. To understand our true identity, we need to explore all the pages of our existence. Only then we will be able to know and meet our true self and find that we are in fact a sea of unlimited potentials, unlimited possibilities. And when we are aware of our true potential, we will never fall victim to any limitations or any outside expectations or perceptions towards us.
