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!
