The Art Of Being Alone

When you don’t know what you want then you want to have everything that is glittery and shiny.”

God was kind enough to bless all of us with a personal brain yet here we are. We have switched off our brains and blindly follow what the world expects us to do. And then we wonder, ‘why am! not happy even when ! have everything | dreamt of? Maybe | should make a gratitude list just like everyone suggests to count my blessings and remind myself how lucky | am.’

Darling, it’s time to switch on the button of your brain so that your inner light can guide you.

And how are we going to do that?

Well, simple enough. Just as we have practiced following the rules and fixed definitions of society, now we will learn to create our personal rules and definition of everything. | mean, it’s ironic how people always find something to give a personal touch to, even coffee mugs, but forget about their life. But better late than never, right?

A few days ago, | shared a post on my Instagram account about finding joy in your day-to-day life. And

one person commented that, and | quote, ‘sti// | don’t understand what should | do for my happiness’

This shows how much distance we have grown from ourselves. In the race of finding people, we lost ourselves. And if you are expecting that | can give you some hacks or techniques to help you find your happiness or success then | am sorry, you are free to burn this book. | cannot tell you what to do. | don’t know who you are, what’s your history, what makes your heart beat faster with excitement, what feels joy to every nerve of your body. | don’t know any of it. No one knows. And even if | tell you a few hacks then maybe you will give this book 5 stars and feel motivated at the moment. But after a few days, you will forget about it. Why? Because it didn’t come from you so it didn’t fit in your life.
You need to sit down and start defining things for yourself. Do you want to be happy? Great, what does happiness mean to you? Dig deeper and figure out what are the things that make you happy and how you can add a little dose of happiness to your day-to-day life. Don’t find your happiness on YouTube or in any book. Find it in your heart. Do you want to be successful? Fantastic. Now ask yourself what does success mean to me? What is your definition of success and how do you imagine living your successful life? Are you successful professionally or do you want success in all areas of your life? Let your definition of success be your compass. You cannot build your life by walking in someone else’s footprints. Your life is your treasure. Your life belongs in your hands. You should take charge and start defining everything for yourself. Enough of living like a slave who blindly follows everything. You might not be the actual king/queen of the world but your life depends on your actions so act like you OWN it. Take your own decisions. Build your definition of everything. Think before you accept anything from society. Use the brain that God has blessed you with. Look within and find your true guidance. It’s time you become the OWNER of your life. It’s time you give a personalized touch to your life. And it starts now.
