Isn’t it true that many of us live with the constant feeling that we aren’t doing enough with our live. Living with a constant fear of failure and getting it right everytime, we are so anxious about doing something worthwhile. The anthem being-Shouldn't I be doing something, going some place, making it big in life?
I do believe that some people are meant for fame (on any scale) while some others are meant to lead lives away from the lime light. Because that’s pretty darn hard too.
If there aren’t gardeners there aren’t flowers. If there is no coach there is no champion. Without a director there can be no star. And if some of us aren’t conventional then the eccentric go unnoticed.
In times where crime (of every possible sort) is commonplace, being able to live upto a certain age without having to go through any significant, life altering trauma is a feat in itself. And if you can protect your family and loved ones then kudos to you.
I am unsure if things were always this bad or if the excess of knowledge and news that is available is creating more awareness (scaring the life out of me at least). You know how every generation, no matter how old you are, feels their younger days were much simpler, safer and peaceful. And how the younger generation are living in bad bad times. I have heard my grandfather say it, then my mother and now I find myself thinking the exact same thing. (Things like how we grew up stronger because we played outdoors a lot more or didn’t have many toys, making us more creative. This is what I tell my children anyway.) Doesn’t this mean that life is only getting tougher and more convoluted?
So every time you beat yourself up about not having reached targets and milestones, not making enough money or not having perfectly painted nails (just saying) remind yourself of how fortunate you are to be living. Appreciate the good days and let the bad days pass. Believe in yourself and what you are doing. Just breathe. Because isn’t it all relative anyway? This ordinary vs exceptional?
