Yesterday, a friend yearned, with a long sigh of unfulfilled desires, for true peace of mind. He went on to say 'we spent much time in obtaining higher academic degrees, worked hard to make careers, earned reasonably enough for the future of our families BUT, have ignored a lot as well on our way to a successful and gratifying life. The most important thing that we did not take care of in this process is True Peace of Mind.'
I agreed to his point of view. We, the current generations of the era of revolutionary technologies, have no time for deep thinking about how to have moments of true peace of mind. We have overloaded our lives with unwanted matters like the store in the above photo. Instead of discarding many junk items of no importance at all, we keep them stacked for no apparent reasons.
We do procrastinate in settling some issues that keep our minds engaged in placing scattered pieces of picture puzzles without any definite purpose. We unconsciously indulge ourselves into activities that do not pay back to us in any way. Such activities rather devour our moments of rejoice, family gathering, self talk, catharsis and peace of mind.
We are becoming complacent and lethargic in taking bold steps to creating even short segments of peaceful loneliness. We feel helpless when it comes to sacrificing worthless relations, habits and actions.
Just one BIG bold step is all that we need towards attaining peace. Stealing a few moments in total solitude and writing down all the futile chores may provide us some space to sneak into and enjoy a figment of peace.
At least I'm going to do that some time today. I know it's an enormous challenge but then I have no other option except to prove that I'm bigger than my challenges and this one could not defeat me simply because I didn't want to win. Failure is no option in this battle.
Wish you to achieve the same goal soon too!
