An Average's Cult

"Be wise to make your choices, remember that every choice is valid and it has its respective consequences." by Mr Devdutt Patnaik mentioned this one of his speeches drawing inferences from the Indian mythological stories. After all a person is nothing but a mix of all the random/intentional choices it made at one or the other time in it's lifetime.

There is common weirdness I observe in the chosen lives of mostly everyone around in the cities.  The foremost factor is to earn yourself a settled lifestyle, which is majorly a standard schedule template, i.e. wake up-work-eat-play-sleep-and repeat... also a few times Netflix & chill too. according to me, as of now this usual life is nothing but monotony that has held its grip over it. It is sad to know when people name it as a certain kind of settled lifestyle.

Really!

Surprisingly, this is what an ideally stated settled life and its style is by the so called norms of the current world. On second thoughts why does the notion of settlement with life has to happen so early upon with anyone or everyone.

Oh well! from my point of view its boring and I will never come to terms that it is absolutely fine to continue living like this for the rest of the time in life. It is such a waste of time living life such a way. Cause if you live like this monotonous way over and over again, are you even living?

This pattern much feels like unsatisfactory and unsettled. And personally, it further scares the shit out of me for sure. There is so much more to do, know, absorb and express... exploring life is an additional bonus for all of us. Yet most of us continue to remain unaware, hold back and be weary of living life. Sad, Isn't it?

Look I don't mean to be advising anyone to get into the adventurous mode like those fancy bloggers/vlogger do. I am sure those set of advises can be found all over the internet in plenty, trust me it doesn't help much if you just scroll down through those advises without acting upon them.

Being adventurous and stepping away from reality is fun for a while and stressful when it becomes medium of escapism. Cause apparently the liaison of being perceived as something you are not is even more burdensome. It also doesn't take you any farther, infact has enough more chances to pull you back.

Sometimes its better to not fix things around. It is even better to sit back and ponder, stare at the sky and wonder (about 'the how' and not 'the why' of a situation). I simply mean to say that it is okay to not be okay. Just know that its not okay.

And in my experience a confused state of mind is always better over a settled mindset. And the time for a settle mind is not so soon.

To find yourself you need to accept and understand yourself first... this is foremost important thing to do. Rest everything will be okay and follow through.

For now live it up one thing at a time. Eventually all your choices will gather up soon for better!!
Yeah, in the end it will for sure sum it up all by itself, until then its all chilled out :). 
At least I did like to think of it to be so.

Chalo bahut global gyaan ho gaya aaj ke liye!!

P.S.: I made an attempt to write down my confusions but guess this article will make you equally confused. Enjoy and leave your thoughts/comments below.

'Love' is to choose and be!

‘Love' is to choose and be,
Oh! rather it’s a mended concept coming from a knothole.

It often scares me as you could tap into my conscience...
with that one touch, those eyes staring deep across my soul.

No matter how much it is denied and defied,
your presence around me affects me and makes all my efforts shallow.

There is so much more to know, to express and to absorb... 
and yet we continue to remain unaware, hold on to ourselves and argue.

The catch here isn't that you can't have it your way, it is that you can't have all of it your way.
I believe, there is nothing right or wrong... at the very moment, what you do is do!

Cause 'Love' is to choose and be
Oh! rather it’s a mended concept coming from a knothole!!!
