| That’s where a Life Skill I call Personal Reality comes into picture. Your life story is unique, never on this earth this story occurred in the past, not will it repeat in the future. That is the reason why everyone has a unique answer to the question – how is your life going on?
If you really want to change how your life takes form, how your life story unfolds, you cannot afford to bypass this skill called Personal Reality. By using the term Personal Reality I mean that the reality of our life story is different for everyone it is personal in this sense. Now if you miss to face the reality of your life, which is unique and personal for you, life will remind you in its own ways – usually by throwing harshest teachers on you in form of problems and troubles.
So what is this Personal Reality and how can you use it to change your life?
Mastering the skill of identifying our personal reality begins with acknowledging the fact that as an individual you are unique, with no match in the entire world. Life presents itself to you in a unique manner in form of your relationships, your talents, your inclinations, preferences, your true needs and of course your own challenges. Responding to all these is responding to life because that’s what your life is.
But look at what everybody around is doing. Instead of responding to their own needs, their personal challenges and inclinations, most people are engaged in a rat-race riding on desires which are not their own but generated by their surroundings. Desiring is not bad but buying a desire out of jealousy or from a feeling of inferiority certainly is.
Personal Reality means that you can see the reality of your life through the fog created by society and its pressures and expectations from you. And more importantly, accept your reality and respond to it.
As of now, you are living a life whose story is written by the false pressures of society, an of course by the great forces of desire and fear. Mastering the skill of Personal Reality will place you in the driving seat of your life. You will be the one who will write your own story, or lets say, a greater intelligence through you will write your life story, not the monstrous emotions and luring desires, nor the society. How? Perhaps patience too is a skill you got to learn. |
