Being awesome in life is what counts

Life is not about what thoughts you have. It’s about which thoughts you choose to empower. I woke up with this thought reverberating in my mind. Which made me ponder. Is life what it really seems like? Is it just a random chain of events, that take off with a click of a button? Or do we really have a definite purpose in life? Then it dawned upon me. That it really doesn’t matter. People go through their entire lifetimes without once thinking about their desires. They don’t live, they merely exist. A life where you are free of any social clutches is an awesome life. An awesome life is one, where you can be yourself.

According to me, Life is awesome when my parents are healthier and long living, I have an house to live, food to eat, clothes to wear, my wife is ready to take care of me all his life. My parents are proud to have me as their kid. I have a career of my dream. Seriously, a person who has got all this is living an awesome life knowingly or unknowingly. The definition of an awesome life, according to me is - “the one without regrets”. Too often in life we are caught amidst choosing what we love to do & ending up doing what others expect of us to be.

In my belief, if you have a clarity on what you wanna be, be brave and take the plunge. Because when you grow older and look back at your life, you only worry about the chances you didn't take. If you're really passionate about something, why not give it a try? After all, you only live once!! I always worried about what others would think about my career choices or life decisions. Gradually with time, I realized that this is my life and if I don't take a charge and do something about it; I would be wasting my precious young years without any real satisfaction. Now that I look back, I am content with what I did and confident enough to face my critics. I've learnt that confidence is the key and it'll take me to places.

Every day, I observe things and people. Whenever I feel low, many things motivate me to continue. Whenever I feel disturbed, many people inspire me to move on. It makes my life better. But, when I inspire someone through my thoughts or actions, that makes me feel that life is awesome. Because you get inspired by many things and people, but inspiring someone. Truly awesome! Don’t take yourself too seriously. Laugh at yourself. Reflect at the end of the day. Make others happy. Don't overthink things, just do it! Do what you love. Truly don't sweat the small stuff. Don’t judge others or think for them. Accept everyone just as they are in that moment. Live ( your way) and let others live ( their way). Do your best and let that be good enough.

Being contented with what we have is happy life while trying and ultimately achieving something coming out of our comfort zone would be an awesome life. Working and earning such that income fulfil all our needs and desires will be a happy life. However earning through a career which gives us enough and affect lives of the masses in a positive way would be an awesome life. Being someone who has lot of loved ones around who are ready to help you anytime would mean a happy life. However being someone who has something to give to anyone who knocks his door would be an awesome life.

Being liked and appreciated by everyone because we lived as per societal norms would be a happy life. However making people look up to you by changing their perceptions by doing and achieving something they were against of in the beginning would be an awesome life. Finding true love will constitute happy life. Being with and in love with that one person till the very end would be an awesome life. One fine day you come back to your home from work and find a wedding invitation near the door. When you open it you find that your ex has sent you his/her wedding invitation.

Happy life: being able to read answers to any random question on and not having to answer any questions in return. Awesome life: realising that answering questions is really the only way you can find the true answers to your own questions. I know completely out of the way answer, but had to co relate in some manner. Why you think happy life is not awesome life and why you think awesome life will always be happy. Cheers!
