It’s always someone who asked and yes, that is how I frame my answers from what I always believe in and follow. But yes, a few years back, I realized that what can I gift to myself. The first thing I knew is mental peace, whatever it is worth. If I am not peaceful, I would disturb everyone else’s peace too. And I also realized that no one else can make me peaceful. All the dialogues, all the conversations were in my head. No one else can answer. So if I have to be peaceful, I have to put them to peace and I did that. It was such freedom. I had to let go of every conflict in my head. I had to let go of every resentment. Every time, something happened, I reminded myself of peace. So all the efforts paid off, and I felt so much at peace.
Along came love and happiness. The space which was occupied by all the arguments and conflicts got occupied by peace, which also removed all the fog which was clouding love and happiness. I could feel so much love flowing for me inside. I accepted myself completely. I wanted to focus on better things. I wanted to focus on love. I felt love and I could share that with others too.
Happiness was the gift given by peace and love. When I gave those gifts to myself, I felt I was in bliss and it continues. I felt this is heaven on Earth.
So when someone asked me, how can I make myself better, this is what I told him. Follow peace. Follow love. Let peace love and happiness be your guide.
