Re: Life Insights

Dear Nidhi,

The reason you were born into the family and culture that raised you was due to a great deal of guilt of having subdued others into submission and limitation. You were a man, a ruler who set the rules of living in a part of India now known as Pakistan. You asked to be born into a family that arranged marriages, leaving you with no choice. In truth, though it was your choice all along, for you had this need to balance out the shame and guilt of restricting other people's freedom. You have come a long way of liberating yourself from this self-inflicted pain, but there is opportunity for you to throw the shackles away altogether. Your future is not set in stone, only the probabilities are. You can choose which of the probabilities you want to manfiest in your physical life. There is no "supposed to" in life. You are in charge of your destiny, regardless whether it is fear and doubt creating what you are afraid of or doubt, or whether love and courage bring forth the realization of your greatest dreams. The society and family dogmas only restrict you as long as you let them. You can wait forever for someone to love you, if you don't tell someone that you love them. Life will bypass you if you bypass it. The universe reponds to you when you take that daring step of standing up for yourself, becoming worthy. By waiting around for something to happen, you remain trapped in the notion of being at the mercy of others, called victimhood. Forget about the rules that you have learned. The rules were made for those who didn't know themselves. Become a newborn who has no knowledge of what is right or wrong, and follow your feelings, your passion, your dreams, regardless what others want you to do. Your cultural doctrines are your opportunity to rise above your insecurities and take full responsibility for every aspect of your life, including your love life. Love is nothing to be ashamed of. Keeping it inside makes it shameful for you. Do what you are afraid of and you will lose the fear. THe purpose in all this is not to meet someone special who will love you, but to honor yourself and every desire you have, regardless what anyone says. It is about freeing your self from fear and loving yourself. Take risks, otherwise your life will remain uneventful and meaningless. It is all inside you, just take a few steps and it will happen for you.

Blessings,
