There's a blog down there, in the same page, written may 2 years ago, about being happy or becoming successful in life.
We often mix these 2, hapiness & success.. interchange these 2 words or concepts.. when it comes to life.
And often the end goal of life is success/happiness.
We
(all of humans) try to find some purpose/s to lead life, and achieving
them become purpose. Without purpose, we are dull and not motivated or
don't use our energy.
And when we set a purpose or purposes
which are against our true self, or our true energies, we are conflict,
problems, confusion etc.
Thus giving ourselves time to
understand our true self, or true energies become first step. These
true energies we have to accept.. whole heartedly... Then only it
works.
But often we set our purposes based on other people, or other energies. For example,
A perfect monogamous relationship life long,
Or an artistic endeavour (include music, dance, painting, writing etc).
Or a million dollars or something physical or social wealth.
Accepting
the true energy is not easy. We might figure out, our energy
combination might not provide a measurable success or achievements in
our whole life time. We might find, like some people, we will grow old
and die, without a specific achievement or reaching a standard goal.
And
that might leave us dissatisfied and unhappy. But true energy cannot
be measured in this way... Not even in one life time.. it's not the
destination or end goal.. it's wheather you were true to self (self
energies) as much as possible.
Nobody can remain same (truthful
or fake) all the time.. even after understanding all this, we will keep
going up and down.. sometimes more intelligent than we are, and other
times much more stupid than we are.. life is collection of such ups and
downs.. smart & bad and average decisions.. (even within 24
hours, we go through alll these).
Many people block themselves at
some point and start living that way for many years or a life time
itself. And that any introspective person will know doesn't really
work. We can easily observe those, who are faking it, lying about it,
to themselves. Other people around us also see through suck fakeness.
It's
easier to spot it in others than self. Thus, we have to work on honest
self observation... Not just a day or 2, but for years and years.. the
more understanding of true self, or true energies we realise, things
change.
But there is no final judgement... As what's best
life.. what's happy or sucessful life.. it will depend on our true
energies. Some may have energies which can be measured.. in a social or
numbers way... Many won't have such measurebleness....
We have
to accept that too.. that many things or achievements are not
measurable in the current world. If one has that kind of energies,
learn to accept them truthfully.. rather than lying to self.
I
might add, learning about our true self, and learning to live with
that... Will clean our karma of this life.. otherwise we carry forward
it to next life. (It's a hypothesis, I don't rigidly say, karma
concept or future lifes exist). Just one way to understand these
concepts.
It's complicated... All the above. Hope something
makes sense. If not, then you are (your energies) are not ready for it,
or your energies don't need to understand them. Be yourself... It's a
blessing!
