Hello
Then Until NowMy Story
Life gives us all kinds of opportunities and with that comes the biggest freedom – the freedom of choice. They say, just like architects, we create the blueprint of our life, we choose the design, the layout, yet when we come into this world, we come like a brand-new canvas. A canvas, ready to show its own story, reflect its own beauty and creativity, a unique piece of art. The initial days of our life, we learn the names of colours, and the trick of mixing colours and even creating new colours. All of which is very fascinating, full of awe and bewilderment. But as we learn through, trying to play with various mediums of creating our piece of art, there are various colours of conditioning thrown onto on our canvas. The colours of conditioning even though are part and parcel of the initial blueprint, and broadly determine the outline of our painting, yet the ultimate choice of what our painting will look like, all depends on us. The conditioning, the environment we grow in, are like the cards dealt to us in this game called Life. What we then make of it, is totally UPTO us. Whether we choose to hold tightly on to the ideas and belief systems that have been passed onto us as ours, or we choose to break away from them and create something of our own, determines the quality of our life. The beauty is that, at every step, the choice to choose something different is ALWAYS there. The choice to choose bondages or freedom, love or fear is ALWAYS there. So, if we do not like how the painting is shaping up, we have the choice to add a new colour or even create something totally new and different. Truly, there are no Choice-less moments!!
After being on the journey of self-inquiry for few years, there was an unrelenting desire to share the wisdom, that had transformed me, with more people, with fellow beings. So, this Blog is me making that choice to establish a connection with YOU.
In today’s age, where information and knowledge are easily accessible, we run the risk of information overload. Yet to make that knowledge wisdom and to be able to apply it, we all have to take the action, take that leap of faith of walking the path on our own. My articles here are definitely not to add more information per se. They are the medium through which I am sharing my journey with You – my journey of transformation from a caterpillar to butterfly, facing the fears of unknown. The beginning, the pitfalls, the struggle, deep reflections, hundreds and thousands of realizations, the AHA moments, the shifts, the shedding of unwanted layers and burdens. This blog is just to let you know that you are not alone on this journey of becoming a Master of your life!
Your fellow friend on the path…
