A Journey To Find Real Happiness

 

                                         Me and My Journey In Search of Myself

Isn’t it strange that many of us live our life being someone who hardly resembles us? That someone look like us, live like us but they don’t feel like us and they are not us. We hide our true self because our true self is not praised by the society and our true-self wants happiness rather than money. Many of us hide our true self so well and live life with no real happiness, no inner peace and maybe not even a motive.  But some of us cannot do that as we get exhausted pretending to be that someone.

Also, in my life I pretended to be the one who was not me. Everything was perfect from outside. I completed my school level with very good marks, did engineering, found a job right after graduation and was preparing for the exam for the government job. But inside me was my true self that was exhausted, crying out loud and struggling to grab the happiness that she deserves. This exhaustion and sadness had to end as enough is enough.

AND THEN THE JOURNEY STARTED

Journey through BOOKS

Eventually I got attracted to self-healing and self-improvement books. Reading those books, I met people who made me confident enough to trust my intuition and begin this journey. We feel  so good and confident when we come to know that there are many successful people who were exactly at the point where we are now, wanting to live their life on their own way, having an aim that is not acceptable to society, trusting their true self and getting victory over years.

Those books taught me that we all are unique and it is absolutely fine, In fact it’s our strength, not to live life like others do. If we try to copy others and fake our true self, we will never be happy and get the peace of mind.

Journey through IMAGINATION

It is said that our true self is the one that we see in our IMAGINATION

I imaged the happiest version of me. In my imagination, I am somewhere in a beautiful countryside, breathing some fresh country air, surrounded by flowers and trees and bushes. I can hear the burbling of river, swirling of cloud near me, the birds are singing some beautiful songs for me. I am in a happy mood; I can concentrate on my work, writing down the things that are running through my head, capturing the beautiful nature and beautiful moments through pictures and paintings.

Yes, that was me, that was real me and the things I want to do in my life.

Journey through MEDITATION

I got the idea of meditation from the books and some motivational videos. I was sure that it would help me in my journey and convert my fears and anxiety into something beautiful. I tried to focus on my breathing and the surrounding sounds. For some days, I couldn’t meditate. I was standing still but my mind was running here and there.  Sometimes, I used to feel pain on my back and sometimes, I remembered the things that hurt me. After some failed attempts, I tried to focus on my dream life, life that I want to live and the ecstasy I want to carry within me. Surprisingly it worked. My body was still and my mind was focused for more than 10 minutes. It all was coming to me. The whole experience was amazing.

Journey through ANSWERING SELF-DISCOVERY QUESTION

I picked up a list of self-discovery questions from Pinterest and answered them so that I can bring the voices out which were inside my heart, hidden for years. Those questions made me think about my goals, my likes and dislikes, my skills and passions. I don’t know why, but I was getting immense satisfaction while answering these questions. One of the questions was-what would you prefer to do for 5 years with free of cost and free will? I got two answers in my head-Answer 1: work as an assistant or a helper for the world’s best writer and the nature photographer. Answer 2: listen to the people who are broken from inside and help them to regain their peacefulness that was lost before.

Journey through  A VISION BOOK

I really loved the idea of keeping a vision book. I tried to include all of my dreams and goals in my vision book. I collected pictures from Google which speak about my goals that defined what I want to be, what I want to do, where I want to be and with whom I want to be. Then I printed and combined them to make a book. I will always keep this book with me so that I will always remember that I have a purpose to be fulfilled, goals to be achieved, moments to be cherished, I have a dream life to live and a real happiness to be carried within.
