She was troubled. She always wondered why her life was not good enough. When I asked her, what did she want from her life, she had no answer. On everything, she had an answer that I have never thought about this before.
I showed her two children. One was playing with every toy, exploring it and having fun. Another one was surrounded by toys but not touching them. If someone, gave one toy to him, he played with it for a while and then sat again. But the person who was giving the toys eventually got tired as there was no initiative from the child. So he let the child be himself. Sometimes he wondered if the child really wanted to play et all. The second child looked sad and was crying. The first child was happy.
Same way, we are surrounded by toys or things to play with. If we keep sitting, and we keep waiting for someone to come and hand over a toy, that will happen for a certain time. Second thing, the person will get tired of giving the toys. Third thing, he will hand over only the toys of his choice. But if we start getting up and exploring all the toys ourselves, we will have the whole world of toys for us. But yes, in the first case, we are spared of all the efforts but devoid of toys. In the second case, we have to get up and make an effort to get the toy.
Still, we need to choose, how we would like to be?
She understood the point and realized, it’s no justification that she had never thought about it. If she had not before, she had kept herself away from all the joys she could have in life.
So how can we start having all the things or toys we would like to have? First know, what we would like to have. Second, see that in your mind. Seeing is believing. When you can see it, feel it then start taking the actions on it. If you can see it, you will have it. It is like you are creating the toy by seeing it in your mind first. Everything can be changed and made better by seeing and believing in it.
Go and explore all the toys…life is yours. It’s waiting to happen.
