Knowing oneself



How often do you sit alone and think about yourself? Have you ever understood yourself perfectly?

I say "No". I have not understood myself. I cannot define myself. Well, I think I have always inclined towards others while defining myself. I have never distinguished my likes and dislikes. I know for sure, I am not peculiar weirdo but I am not what I have been in these years.  I never figured out what really makes me happy. At the same time, I never knew exactly what really pisses me off. When some one asked me what I liked the most? I so lamely said that I like what everybody liked. I just realized that I was so blunt. I was pretentious. I pretended to like what everybody liked. But, I was  not trying to be somebody to impress any one with these happy responses. Now, I know that, I have never enjoyed those things. I did not do what I loved to do.

I realized that, often I try to fit into other's personality not withholding my own-self. However, it is surprising to see that, I was still doing good not being myself. Well, I am happy to see my adaptability. I know I can easily adjust to different environments according to situation's demand. However, more than this, when I reflect more into my life, I was not into that comfort level while trying to fit into other's personality. I was subduing my likes, dislikes, my personality and my whole self .

Now,  with the elapse of time, I realized importance of withholding my own self. Why not I be myself? Why not be bold and beautiful? I need to like my likes and like my dislikes as well. I should be content with who I am. When I say this, I am not not blowing my own trumpet. Well, I am far from being flawless but I see a room for improvement at the other end of the life.

Late realization but worth remembering.

Inspiration What is inspiration? Do we really need inspiration to do something in life? We need inspiration in different point of our lives. We need inspiration to meet life’s challenges. Inspiration gives us courage when we are at lowest point of our lives. It helps us to come out of the pool of tragedy, failure and misfortune. Furthermore, it gives us confidence to try new things in life. It also teaches us to take risk and excel in small things that we come across in life. What exactly is inspiration? Yes inspiration’ sometimes can be just a simple smile. We don’t need to spend so much energy to inspire some body. Sometimes just the presence of our family and our loved one can be inspiration. They need not do any miracle to evoke our inner selves. Ever since my childhood, I have been listening to the stories of great heroes, scientists, philosopher and all the great achievers but never in a life time I was so much inspired to do anything. During my school, Dzongkha teache...
