Loneliness is a rewarding evil

The path, the journey and the destination

The wind was cold enough to make my soul shrink somewhere deep in my personality. It had been days since I saw the signs of a human habitation close to me. I do not know if I did it right or wrong to go forth with this journey, but was amazed to possess a strange feeling of calmness inside, the kinds of which was never felt by me, when I was living my dream life.
It was just another day in my fast pace life, when I realized my real purpose in life, was not to excel financially or in terms of success, but to find a path that enrich my soul. The matter has been talked in numerous ways and millions of times everywhere across the web. But I will make sure to add a footnote to this never ending debate.

A dream gives us a purpose to live. And my dream was to stand strong with pride. I wanted my father to be proud of me when I achieve the stature of a highly paid professional in the management industry. He had set high standards for me, from the very start, and I always made sure never to break his expectations. And this was the first journey; I started upon, after being a part of the herd.
It was a journey which I commenced after being guided by a personality other than me, in a hope to discover who I was. But the bitter truth about life is, you never know the beauty of a thing, without discovering it yourself. Despite being on the journey on my own, I was herded to start this journey, not out of my free will. So, this was a journey, without a destination for me.

Today, amid these mountains, though being all by myself, I feel much closer to reality. Nature teaches us everything. We never need others to understand life, because we ourselves have hidden knowledge of the world in us. We are the universe, experiencing nothing but ourselves. The problem is, we realize this too late.

We always take a path, shown by others, and set foot on a journey which is not ours, to find that the destination was not the same which we expected. This is because we often forget the self-introspection of our personality before jumping on to the conclusion passed by others. Even clothes are custom made for a perfect fit, so how the same journey can ensure a perfect destination for everyone?

So stand up, and try setting foot in the unexplored territory, because there is a high chance, that you do not even know what you want in life, because of your limited vision. Break the barriers, set free, and just believe in your intuition and abilities, it is the guiding force, which do not need a language, like humans do. Sit alone, don’t be afraid of being left out alone, for it is the best time, when maybe you can realize your dream, for real.

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

By
It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...
