The
reality of being us..hits us hard when we are confronted by the reality of us
as what we are. This realization sometime happens through a line, a song, a
word, a person... hmmm the most sensitive of all these is when we realise due
to a person. That is when life is seen to us in a very different angle an angle
which we never thought could also exist in us. When we see only the good, bad,
sad, happy, joy, elation, bliss...wow so many emotions, but we fail to recognize
that other than this body ur a soul...this soul is the real U, but we are lost
so much in this self which we posses that the souls potential is locked in
forever. Like the famous story of the ugly duckling, which was thoroughly criticised,
almost hated by everyone and an outcast. For the last time before it left the
farm that was when it saw it’s reflection in the waters. After which it continued to live in a lake...eventually
as days went by it grew up and one day another swan was going by it looked at
the “Ugly Duckling” (UD) and said “oh my goodness!! What a beautiful swan it
is...the UD heard this...ad for the first time..again it looked at its
reflection in the waters. What is saw was the most magnificent ever sawn..two
min later it realised that swan was it..In itself... All of us are also like
this...hiding behind our our..fears...and prejudices about our own self. We need
to break out, come out of our comfort zones and embrace life. While the on going
journey teaches us so much to learn, lets not let ourselves to be defined by
the words of the world, rather assert urself...be bold, courageous and forget
not...to love urself...as all of us are having a ugly duckling....in some
aspect or the other, heal urself...transform into the person ur...truly
beautiful and magnificent.
