Faith !

A simple 5 letter word "FAITH" can turn the tables and the world can go upside down. In the current times everyone is working hard towards getting an edge over the other, the very famous - RAT RACE, but when you take a peek on the insides of everyone, you get to see insecurity, doubt, stress, unhappiness, uncertainty and people are clueless of where life is taking them. Ever wondered how these feelings were far less when we were young or during the era of our ancestors ??? Well me being ME,  I always wondered and have been on this journey for a while now to get my answers. So in the quest to find the answers or to figure out what was going on with me I went on a spree of all kinds of meditation sessions, inner soul searching sessions, mystic session etc etc, more like been there done that. After a cocktail of all these so called "Holistic" programmes I was still clueless but my inner self never gave up. I kept interacting more and more with people from all walks of life and then one day I experienced an Einstein moment TINGGG!!!(I like adding a dash of sound effect you see 😉)...and I had my answer - FAITH!!! it is . Now you may ask faith in WHATTTT??. It is a veryyyyy generic word and is vast like an ocean in its meaning. Let me put down a very simplistic list of the faith chart -  Faith in one self, Faith in your own beliefs ,Faith in your own decisions, Faith in your dreams , Faith in your instincts, Faith in your own faith, Faith in the universe, Faith in God - makes sense ?? You can even have faith in a little plant growing in your house. Its like an anchor in your life that you hold on to. My next point to ponder on - we say we have faith but is that 100 % true ?? If your faiths were right and strong then why would you still have worries, doubts, insecurities and anxiety ? Let me be the scape goat here, for the longest of time I suffocated in a bubble wrap of insecurities , anxiety and fear of what was going to happen to me and how my life is headed. I was chocking in my own skin worrying endlessly. All through out I put up an act of believing in God and having the so called shallow faith that only good things will happen to me etc etc. in all honesty I was just lying to my own self. It was nothing but a superficial ACT OF FAITH. I always had doubts in pretty much everything I did and thought and practised. EXISTENCE of Worry along with FAITH is the mother of contradictions 😉.With time I learnt that all I had to do is genuinely HAVE the faith in whatever I was doing or believing in. I had to have faith in myself. The day I started to practise this very simple art, my life changed. I in true sense started LIVING!!and not just existing. Today I enjoy every moment without worrying about what's going to happen to me tomorrow. I enjoy what I do, travel, work, read, write, socialise etc, because  I now have faith in my own self and in my instincts and the Universe (people call it God).  Today I am not just happy but also successful and peaceful. This whole process requires patience, time and self love. You don't master this art overnight it comes with non stop but subtle effort, mindfulness and working on your own self. Does my story even remotely sound like your own ? Perhaps ..... Take a walk inside your own trail of thoughts , you will find your answers 😊 just like how I did !!!
