Stop explaining!!!! We are put on this planet to live and not to explain. Accept the fact, you are unique, wonderful and capable of doing anything. We need to stop explaining others about our time-lines, our goals, our marriage, our career or failures/achievements. Accept our life and enjoy every freaking moment in it. Its our life with our rules. It’s our karma. If we are good and has always wished good for others then it comes back. As Swami Vivekananda says, “We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame. None has the praise.”
If we are the makers of our own fate, why are we explaining our acquaintances in a social event about the failed marriage or delayed marriage???? If we reap what we sow, why should we explain the colleague, who sits in the cubicle beside, about the last failed project???? If none was to blame, why are we explaining the well-to-do cousin about our career???? Let’s stop explaining it… I am determined not to explain, if its my life, my blame, my karma, why should I explain anyone about my stuff?
Next time, if someone asks you to marry before 30 or find a career soon after college or forces you to believe in anything, or demands an explanation for what you are dealing with… Ask them to **** ***…. Believe it’s you!!!
It’s okay if your relationships fail, its okay if your job sucks, its okay to feel depressed, its okay to be anything you are. We don’t owe an explanation for how we look physically, same way we don’t owe anything for our psychological makeup or career choice or relationship choice or comfortable position 😉 (for grown ups ).
I say today its okay if you say sky is yellow or 5+5 = 55. Just be sure that you have your own way of telling it. Just to remind you:
- When Copernicus said, “Universe is heliocentric”, his society called him “MADMAN”
- When Da Vinci did medical experiments, he was called a “HYPOCRITE”
- Dante was in exile.
- Michellangelo was called an Orphan.
- Ulysses was banned in few places because people said it had porno content.
A huge list of artist, writers, architects, scientists were all criticized, never accepted by the society even if they did good, like, Florence Nightingale. May be we belong to the future. We are trapped in this time. There will be one day, when you are called a great achiever. Just don’t stop doing what you are doing now for other’s or because of the explanations you seem you owe for others.
Wear your Madness as your Crown and your Failures as Badges. We are who we are!!!!!
