Navigating through grey areas
When you are beaten down
Grovelling and twisting in pain
Gasping for breath
Praying just to be set free
A tender moment of hope
Keeps your heart still beating.
Hello Readers,
Hope you all are doing very well in your respective lives both health and happiness wise. A bit of self reflection and restraint is all that is needed to put our perspectives back into the right place. Even if this thought sounds endearing, the simplicity of its execution is dauntingly life altering.
It has been suggested to me by well wishers time and again that I should write more often. After struggling to fight the procrastination and not letting the writer’s block rub off on me, I have decided to let my thoughts flow as it comes, uninhibited just like my personality.
I am a person who appreciates things in duality- black and white, yin and yang, yes or no and so on as it conforms to rules. Believe it or not, I am a rule loving person contrary to what my uninhibited self portrays. It is so much easier to not only understand but also to comply to things when they present themselves as more decisive rather than looking for a miracle in the dark that has the possibility of leading us to nowhere. But life seldom goes our way is it not?
We tread the grey areas so often because compromises and adjustments do not happen in vacuum. Some beliefs are let go off to give way for more dominating beliefs even if they are less right. Readers, the maxim “Must always win when fighting with the self and must always learn to lose while fighting with the ones we love”, has been a guiding force for me anytime I face a dilemma.
When you are a strong headed but soft hearted person it is not easy to tread through the blurring lines. Since, on one hand your principles are too strong to let you accept anything that is morally substandard but on the other hand, once you find a person worthy, you are willing to go to the ends of earth to set things right no matter what.
Readers, many life altering decisions have to be made based on our intuition or gut feeling. There is no hard and fast rule that binds us all together to make similar decisions under similar circumstances. That is why, the more self aware we are the better we will be at handling the outcomes of the decision rather than making the decision alone because blame game has never helped anyone in their spiritual growth.
The more confident we become of our worth, the better decisions we tend to make. The black and white lines may blur themselves at times, but choosing the right response does not necessarily have to fall on the grey line. Readers, bettering ourselves is not an option, it is the way a good life should be led. But bettering ourselves at the cost of another person’s well being or trust will not put us on the map for too long because all good and bad things have a way to come around. Hopefully you will not be afraid of receiving yours.
Until next time, Readers ❤
