Be Extraordinary

"It was surprising and interesting."

Prolonged state of depression due to loneliness has pushed me to pursue personal growth lessons. From the childhood(lived in boarding most of my life) I suffered from loneliness unable to understand the meaning of live. But the interesting thing about me as child was ,I envisioned and lived in a dream world where I see people happy , loving, caring me. These beautiful dreams filled the void in me ; hence I could make up the rest of day and years reflecting on them. With this prolonged depression and continuous failure in my social life battling to fulfil my basic needs , I stated to invest my time to understand the big picture of life . I looked for people to guide me but I was not convinced with theories heard from them; hence I deeply dissolved myself in devotion with god and asked him to put me in right path and show me the right direction as well. Despite all the sufferings, Beautiful things happened from then on ; I met different people and studied about the Hindu scriptures and traditional practices from the best Teachers for 3 yrs and understood that people had misinterpreted many practices and bent scriptural values for their own needs which caused a huge disaster in the Hindu society. I was also directed to life coach and therapist to unleash my inner strength and understand my limitations which was preventing me to be happy. In pursuit of self growth, the biggest lesson I learnt was “surrender”. Surrender to the supreme power will help walk our life path effortlessly. When we are not blessed with fulfilling our basic psychological needs like a happy married life or wealth for a living normal life Or what so ever.. despite our continuous effort in identifying solutions to these problems if we encounter to fail then , “Surrender to the supreme power” is the best tool to overcome the situation . This is the indication that we suffer because we are pulling our self away from our destiny ( to fulfil personal wishes ) where in there bigger things/goals are waiting to be unfolded through hands. When we open our arms and allow the natural flow ( through surrender ) our life will become easy. Control is with the universe and we are just a messenger to deliver the messages to this universe. Nature or the supreme power knows what is our destiny and how to use our energy in the right direction. Though I started this process of self exploration since 2014 ( more than 5 yrs now) , I started fulfilling some of my dreams In my past and It was definitely not a easy journey as I didn’t learn the secret power of “surrender” until my 37. Now, I understand two things altogether - 1) the power of dreams , visualisation which helped to fulfil my childhood dreams( with a great struggle and battles ) and 2) the power of surrender which helps to clear your way and walk you though your life effortlessly. During the stage two of my realisation,I was exposed to mind valley through my uncle. I find this education system will have a major influence on my Personel growth and groom me as a better individual. Especially my first lesson on - Be Extraordinary is exactly what I am going through . It was surprising and interesting. With this I end my Long story and I shall share my experiences now and then. I wish to thank my Teachers from “The Hindu hub” , my uncle, my friend who were/are my greatest strength to lift me up to this level and also thank the ones ( through whom I have gone through sufferings) as without such painful experiences I wouldn’t have learnt these precious lessons that shared with all of you.
