“Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” said Mahatma Gandhi. Words of wisdom by the Father of our nation.
All internal change starts with connecting to our inner self and building up a relationship. The key is to start a relationship with yourself. Being totally at peace and harmony all the time is the most precious gift you can give yourself.
There are two aspects here: reaching the state of being and maintaining this state all the time. The first is any day easier than the second. It's sustaining that state of harmony despite trials and tribulations from the world outside that is a challenge.
But first things first. The starting point of having the perfect state of being is to start a relationship with your ‘self.' So how does one go about it?
Learn about yourself
We learn so much in life. Most of the time we do it because we are supposed to. On our own, very few make the effort to learn and master something. Or worse even enjoy what we are learning.
But when have we spent time learning about ourselves?
When is the last time we have made an honest internal introspection without finding excuses, shifting blame or simply blocking our thoughts out? We don't want to do it because we are scared what we will find out. But that is okay.
What will surprise you the most is that you will discover so much goodness, strength, and potential in you.
Contrary to what we believe, we are largely good human beings.
Somewhere along the way, maybe due to conditioning, culture, religion, circumstances, and people we start believing that we are all of negativity, weaknesses and wickedness.
And what we forget or ignore is the absolute beauty that is inside each one of us.
So all we have to do is give us a fair chance.
Spend at least 30 minutes a day letting your thoughts go deep inside you.
Make a list of all your strengths and virtues. This shows that you are capable of them.
You will be amazed with what you will discover! Do this for 14 days, find your inner beauty and bask in the happiness you feel,
