Is there a net?

You must’ve heard this numerous times – “Take the leap of faith. A net will appear!”

Sometimes, we are plagued by uncertainties in our lives. Questions like – will I get this opportunity, will my project succeed, will I find the right person, will I succeed, will I find happiness…always keep cropping up at several crossroads in our lives. These questions are manifestations of our own fears and insecurities. Every person has some prominent inner need – success, approval of society, fame, money,…  The uncertainties we face and the questions we ask ourselves are manifestations of this inner need.

The problem here is that there is no answer to any of these questions. If you have seen the Harry Potter movies or read the novels, you might be familiar with a character called Boggart. The Boggarts are shape shifters; they take the shape of the object that causes a person most fear. The only way to counter a boggart is to dismiss that fear by a spell that invokes laughter. Similarly, there is absolutely no answer to these uncertainties we find in our lives. The only thing we can do is dismiss them.

In Harry Potter, they had a spell. Unfortunately, the spell for our real life boggart  is much more subtle – Faith. Just know that what you want will happen. Just do what you got to do and take a leap of faith, the net will surely appear.

 

Doing things

Do things only because if you don’t, you will lose your sleep. That’s all. No other reason.

Once you have decided to do it, ignore the world for good. Don’t fear or mind what the rest of the world is going to say about this. You are doing it for yourself. You are doing this because it feels like it is what you must be doing. It is a call from your higher self. Nobody else is going to feel the same way as you do. Hence, why are you listening to them?

Remember, the first line is VERY important.

What are you born to do?

Do you know what you are born to do?

Nature gives her indications in every step through every outcome of your multiple actions. It might be in the form of a lingering feeling or dissatisfaction, encounters with related people’s ideas, inspirations, happiness, etc. It is important that you realize when that happens for if you don’t the indications increase and later completely disappear. Realizing these indications and acting in accordance to your guiding principles is the key here. One problem everyone seems to have is not knowing how to act or receive these thoughts? Most of the times, introspection leads to fear and it scares away your will to follow the destined path. I think of fear and nature being opposites or that fear is the manifestation of one’s own insecurities fed by society in general. It is important to take a leap and shed the blanket of fear that wraps your real-self. Real self is subdued in normal people. It is chained down through fear of uncertainities. Once the fear is shed, the real self will be the guiding force in enabling you to carry your destiny.
