Lets make a list of all what we want in life and all the complains we have. Lets make a list of all the complains which we have from the world, from the family and then the most important person, you. Now let’s make a list of all what we have done for the world, for the family and for the self. I am sure even a self centered person who has not spent much time thinking about others actually has not done much to fulfil own expectations. Yes, this is the right word. We expect so much from the whole world and forget to expect from self and then we start complaining that this world is no place for me. In all those complains we forget to accept the beautiful world which has been created for us.
Now let’s take an example, you want to goto a hill station to enjoy its beauty, have you ever thought of planting a tree there, so that it looks more beautiful. Did you think of those who had planted for you to enjoy that beauty. It does not matter, if you plant it now, you will not be able to see how it looked after few years as you may never visit that again, but you are enjoying what has been done by others. You keep complaining and forget that, we have not accepted this beautiful world and we want everything as per our expectations. Even if its the wife or parents we want them to understand us from our perspective or else we feel dejected. Why cannot you accept them from their perspective and when you do that, you live in peace and harmony and you do that becase you feel that they are yours and you must accept them. Same way, look at the world as is is yours. Accept the way it is and it will belong to you.
Just accept the world, the way it is, this world is for you and made for you. You do not need to own it, you just need to become a part of it to make it yours. If you find ways of not becoming a part of it, you will always feel, nothing belongs to you.
