How
can I be so demanding? For most of our lives, we aim for power, title and honor
to be accepted. We crave for attention to belong. However, is it the end all
and be all of our lives? Do we live just for that?
Given
the scenario where the world moves faster than a speeding bullet, all the
clamor for acceptance and sense of belongingness lead to extreme beliefs that
an individual is not an individual without something to brag about. Unrealistic
as it seems, bragging, like your imagination, is your only limitation--- no one
can say “stop” when you are on a bragging spree.
The
world is deceptive. Do not be fooled by simple gestures, baroque talks and
outlandish material things. Always think beyond the portico. Guard yourself
from people. I am not imposing that you do not trust the people around you,
rather, do not trust the devil inside them.
Always
be aware of the things that are happening around you. For once, rely on your
intuition and gut feel. Do not let peer pressure take control over your ability
to think and learn to decide for yourself. Go with what you firmly believe is
true and never look back; because looking back means you are not confident.
Stand
your ground and plant your foot firmly on it. Life is not always about
belonging and being accepted, but rather, it is about understanding and accepting your own self. Basic as it may be but
still quite a number of us do not value the self over material things.
Let
go of unwanted worldly possessions and go back. Love yourself from within.
Ergo,
accept your flaws more than your perfections and the rest would follow. Be
confident in your own skin and everybody would realize that you value and give
yourself importance. Through this, you do not have to brag about yourself but instead,
the people around you would.
