Accept who You are
Accept who You are
In India because of the huge population, we are
taught to be competitive right since childhood, especially with academics. It
is drilled into us that education is our ticket to a better life and so the
grind begins really early in life! There is so much pressure with classrooms
having an average of 60 odd students and to try and come in the top ten in the
class - a tough ask! Some of us who are naturally talented, gifted,
academically smart tend to do well in all aspects in school, college, life. But
others are told by their peers, their parents, their teachers – look at so and
so and look at you. See how many marks he got and look at you and so on! This
actually demotivates you and you start developing low self-esteem and start
thinking that you are useless.
This is the mistake we make. Never ever accept that
you are useless – know that you have taken birth for a specific purpose, a good
education does not mean that you will succeed in life – it just means you have
got the tools to succeed in life. How you use these tools is upto you! Even
without these tools a lot of people have had amazing success – so education
really does not mean success in life. A good education is no doubt helpful –
but if you have other talents, please explore them, do what you love and make
that your profession. If you love what you do you will enjoy as you earn! But
to do all this you first have to accept who you are – you do not have to be
like someone else. Remember you are the only you – there is no duplicate – so believe
that you are the best and you will be the best. You need to compete with
yourself and become a better you, that’s all – there is no point trying to
become like someone else – you won’t be happy and the person you are trying to
make happy, won’t be satisfied!
Meditation teaches you to accept who you are – it balances
you and helps you see who you are in the true sense. With self-realisation
comes the sense of peace, calm and inner wellbeing. The earlier one starts to
meditate, the sooner the cobwebs on all your perceptions are lifted – you begin
to see life more clearly, you begin to accept who you are and build on who you
are to take on the world as a good human being!
