Come! Let Us Go The Other Way
Normally, we go, by the way, we are told because that would be the right path because the person telling you by virtue of his experience might have tried the same. But that does not mean you should not try the other lanes. If you will not try, how you could stop others not to try the same. It is necessary someone must try the other ways also.
We should also not live a stereotype life. We must try something different to share our experiences with others to decide by them or differentiate between right, wrong or beyond. We should not expect anything; rather we should do something as with expectations we invite disappointments. One should try to become an inspiration to many who are waiting for something to happen especially in their life. We should stop expecting gratitude from the world and always try to express gratitude to the world around you.
Every good human being would like to be rich but it is not necessarily everyone could be rich. A man has made the technology and not the technology has made the man. We have to tap the sources and potential within us which will help us to tap into the most powerful mechanism.
Swami Sivananda said, there is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from within by putting control over your desires – which are otherwise a hope to live. You have to go to the other way by diverting your attention from the path which takes you to the world of ‘desires’. True contentment depends upon what we have. Contentment is a work so engrossing that you do not know that you are working.
Frankly speaking, to further simplify it, contentment doesn’t mean you should not be ambitious. Contentment only means I will cherish what I have without regrets. It could only be possible if we have the will to go the other way.
