Deserve Your Desire

-

 

So the other day, I was reading this book by Mahatria Ra, The Unposted Letter. It has been mind-cleansing since chapter one. And when I came closer to the last few pages, I read the chapter name- You get what you deserve, not what you desire; and I thought what could be so motivating in that?

Well, truth has ways to find your back when hit on the wall. Has it not? Last few days I had been going crazy. My efforts always seem to climb to a certain point on the arcade and then refuse to move up on the ladder. Success seems so far. So, so far. And then I read this chapter which sounds so demotivating. What if everything that I desire was never meant to be mine? And then the universe tempts you with these prompts just to check how determined you truly are towards what you have been praying for every day.

Who decides what do you truly deserve?
YOU.

How much are you willing to bend your back to keep standing tall through the test of times? In Literature, we call the books 'classics' which succeed in influencing readers through different timelines. Books that stand the test of times. Books which are loved down the centuries. Books that add value to your life no matter from which era or timeline. Every book and author must have aspired such legacy, but do they? Every author desires such classic glory, but only the ones who deserve it; make it.

To deserve what you desire you have to persevere more than you knew you are capable of. One fine morning, you must have realized what you would keep wanting in your life. One fine morning at a sudden gasp, you would know what you cannot live without. Things or people which add meaning and value to your life. That becomes your goal, desire, persuasion. That makes you hop from your bed and work. Work and wait. Work and wait. Work and wait. Keep working, keep waiting. Even when you feel it is invisible. Even when you think, it is too late. Keep working towards that.

If something you have been asking for is so much important, no excuse will ever be enough. No delusion, no disappointments, no despair should curb that will power. You can wish for ten thousand things in a single passing moment in your life. The Universe is not bound to bring all that in your platter. Someone else might be wishing that stronger than you have. When a desire adds existential value to your life, keep walking until the finish line. Struggle with finesse. Frown at failures not at you failing to make things work.

Deserve it when you desire it.

Fear is but, A Lack of Faith

There is nothing called fear. It's just a lack of faith. A lack of faith on yourself, or on a person. A lack of self confidence. A lacking of belief on the power of your skills. Fear, is just the basic feeling which comes out of the anxiousness of an unseen, unknown future.  You fear when something changes & you don't have the least idea of how are the winds going to sail you. Fear is the reaction when you give in to the uncertainty and uncontrollability of things happening in your life. Fear has no independent existence. It is but a lack of faith on yourself.  When you wish for a definite and exact outcome, but you cannot assure it for yourself, there comes fear. Fear is the but a lack of faith on the existential possibility of your desires. When you conjure up images that are opposite to your dreamland, to your wishing well.  When those contradictory images look more real and probable, we fear.  If you are getting this, you'd understand that there c...

Art & Algorithm

 Do you really think that writers or painters have a pattern in being mused and amusing you? Do you really think that it is practically possible for any writer to wake up in the morning with a new hunch and inject in you a motivational punch? Haa! Maybe you don't. But the influential social media and the urge to be found in a web traffic has made the writers and other artists feel that their art should come out in a pattern that matches the social media algorithm and help them to get found or let's say in the Gen Z fashion, 'trend'...! Beginning from a few years ago till a few week ago, I too have tried to fit in an algorithm. The social media hashtags, you see. Fit in how the keywords works, how the hashtags can be used, what people are liking, what modern influencers are doing. And especially try to see if my posts has reached the algorithm approval or not. Surprisingly, whatever I did, did not work. Was it a surprise? No... It had not been working past four years, wh...

What is so difficult about Trying?

Over the last few days, I have been playing basketball in my courtyard. It is nothing professional. It is just a recreational activity without a cemented court or rules. My mother had planned to tuck a basket at a good enough height at the anterior wall, and now I have been playing basketball, where my premium activity is to basket the ball without anyone snatching it away from my hands.  Let me tell you a secret? It is very tiring. Almost equal to giving up.  Every time I throw the ball above at it, the ball either gets hit on the wall and bounces back (not at me) at the other end of the yard. I would rush to catch it (without success) and run till the end of the fences where the ball had almost nowhere to go. I will take it back and try again and again it would get hit on the wall and push me to rush at some other direction. Tiring stuff. Fun yes, Tiring more.  It was tiring, because I was trying.  One of the hardest things about trying is that we feel we are not d...
