It is said that real happiness lies in the journey itself
and not in the destination.
We are all on a unique journey.
It is a journey to experience pure joy in the physical form
and evolve our consciousness.
When we are born we know this but by the time we reach
adulthood our environment creates the illusion for need of sufferings.
One of the reasons we forget that our journeys are unique is
due to a constant pressure of
competition. A lot of us are told that unless we
are successful according to the expectations of society we are not really
successful. We are not enough educated, we don’t have a great job, our friends
are not good enough, we haven’t bought a house yet, we are not married yet, we
are too fat or too skinny, the list is endless.
The truth is that no two journeys can ever be compared. If
two trains are going to the same destination but taking different routes and
reaching at different times, the trains have still fulfilled their purposes. The
trains have boarded different people from different stations. Both routes are equally
important for the train transportations as a whole.
Sometimes we feel depressed because we have not reached our
own set goals. There is no need to suffer for this illusion of failure.
We are part of the whole universe. The things that happen to
us may seem unimportant but they are needed for our journeys so that we can
evolve our consciousness.
Never feel that you must do something to in order to be
successful. You are already a success because you are part of the universe. By
being born you have embarked on a journey that is needed for evolution of
universal consciousness.
Your only part is to do things that you enjoy. If you don’t
have things that you enjoy then do things in a way that they give you joy. A simple
way to enjoy things is to simply be aware. When you are aware of your breath
your stress cannot stay and you can enjoy the present moment.
When
you are aware of things rather than thinking about things, you cannot
experience anxiety. Do things in simple ways rather than
complicating them.
Remember that you can never
rush. You are never too late. You are never too early. You are not fat. You are
not skinny. You are on your own unique journey.
Don’t distress yourself
for the things that happened or didn’t happen. Everything
is at the perfect pace. When you interfere with this pace, you lose the peace
and the joy that comes from that activity. So don’t take pressure from anyone
and enjoy your journey.
Your journey is important for the whole universe.The only journey is within!!
