Can I (not) Skip to the Good Part ?

These days I am being active on all social platforms to see what's exactly happening and to my utter amazement everything is thriving under one principle. (will reveal later)

Do you nag about feeling stuck at times? being stuck in a humdrum routine, at the same place with the same people, doing same things? 

Eat, shit, sleep, repeat all over again and again and then calling it a life. you want to skip to the good part, right?

(that's not entirely true but how do you know that?)

Let me tell you : this is the good part. you are already at it. you need not skip anything.

so what if you could not live the life you imagined for yourself?

so what if you could not achieve your goals?

so what if you couldn't make it to that 7 digit salary you still will be able to feed yourself, right?

so what if you could not travel the world you still will be having a roof above your head ,right?

so what if you could not make it to your desired college you are anyway going to get a degree, right?

and if you observe closely you will know that you are already living a life, someone's been dreaming of.

(oh, please stop giving this ted-talk, I already know, I am blessed blah blah.. I have everything to be thankful for blah blah..

still I am going to crib about what I don't have + couldn't have.

you have no say in my life, you don't know what I am going through, you don't know how damaged I am you don't know what it feels like to be me.)

I do get your point but the question is are you getting mine?

I know you know everything. I am not here to educate you neither planning to. I am here to make you realize that you are educated enough to comprehend this things on your own.

let me be that one person in your life who think and believe that you've got this, you have it, you are right there, doing just fine on your own, no one has it all figured out. we all are at the same point.

 

(well it does feel a tad better now)

I've been there, I get it and I am there for you. 

(and I'll be there for you... in friends tone? 

cringe ! ugh never mind, who cares?

come to the point what's that principle thing you were talking about earlier?)

It all starts within your head, every morning, even before you open your eyes when your hands reach out to your phone that's when it happens.

and on that particular moment you give yourself a fantastic gift called 'COMPARISON: a never ending affair'

and that is the principle on which this social media thrives 24/7. It does nothing but makes you compare every thing. as it gets your undivided attention since you wake up so in a very subtle way without knowing it makes you a slave of your own dreams and desires.

it is like a pandora's box if you open it there's going to be an inevitable misery waiting just right there for you.

Let me paint a little real picture,

when you see those familiar faces in your feed flexing their happiness, your super advanced pro mind plans an immediate trip to the la la land : What if I was there...What if I had that outfit...What if had a nose like her...What if I had  physique like him.. What if I'd date him/her based on your gender preferences...WHAT IF...WHAT IF...WHAT IF...?

your advance super complex mind knows that you could not have it right now so while watching you think let's put it in our bucket list, let's make them our Goals and pursue them so that I can feel better. 

How ironical, Imagining "one fine day when I'll have it all, when I get there then I'll be finally Happy" makes you temporarily happy and you fall into that trap, happily!

you are being constantly told that you are not at a good part and that's why it feels so mundane. 

It's a vicious cycle, There is NO good part to skip. Get it clear soon as you can. 

All you have is NOW and it is GOOD.

you've lost all your patience maybe that's why it is so hard to sustain this good part. you are always in a hurry pursuing something or other.

your mind makes you crave things your soul does not even need. it's all your monkey mind.

talking about it, aren't we all acting just like monkeys? trying our best in copying one another day and night after spending lakhs on education?

'an educated intelligent Monkey' pursuing a dream of another educated monkey. crazy no?

think about what is the foundation of your dream life? immense money? big house? range rover? world tour? handsome guy/beautiful lady again  based on your gender preferences.

aren't all our dreams and desires originate from those whom we surround? whom we follow? whom we most interact with? Monkeys? aren't they all just udhaar ke sapne ?

that's not just it. The worst is when you couldn't achieve it, you label yourself as worthless without knowing your actual worth. This comparison thing even lead innocent people to commit suicides, because they couldn't achieve that desired goal that society set for them.

 

the materialistic goals which we are running behind is a tempting poison sold by stores of Instagram/ LinkedIn/ Facebook/ pados wali aunty for that matter at the stake of our peace and happiness.

you are not stuck, your thoughts are.

take a break from it, and ask the life that you are running behind do you really want it? or is it just because someone else is living it that's why you want it too.

I've said this earlier also :

Stop living someone else's life in your own head.

create and shape your own one, with your own potential. you need not compete and compare. The reason behind sharing my thoughts on this topic was all I see around me is this common constant cribbing, comparing and copying, rush for getting somewhere, I felt it too for a while but thankfully I was able to see that vicious cycle, I was able to understand reels won't help me skip to the good part, neither my imagination will. and there is no point skipping anything. I am glad wherever I am in my life right now and that's exaclty I am meant to be. I am at a Good place and I do acknowledge it. 

 

Hope you do so too, and get what I intend

now, Go be Great.

and don't forget to NOT skip to the good part enjoy everything now.

Thanks for reading :)
