'Are you bored? Do you feel deprived or
frustrated? You must be a person without a Passion'
In our
daily lives, there come moments when we feel bored, when the hearts sinks and
we feel deprived, desperate and frustrated. All this Borusperation
(boredom+frustration+desperation) is inevitable while living in this world. We cannot
eliminate such "ailments". However, we can reduce them and that’s why the
degree of Borusperation varies among individuals.
Some among us are actually living every moment of their lives. They are
satisfied and happy and love their lives. They have Life in every moment they live !
There are few who are standing on the other side of the shore. They hate their
lives and feel depressed and bored quite frequently. These people are also living, but the moments they are living are without life !
Majority of
us lie somewhere in the middle of both extremes. We sometimes find ourselves loving our life
and sometimes we hate it. Sometimes we are enjoying it and sometimes we are
frustrated and bored. These kind of people are just living their lives.
To the best
of my intellectual abilities and thinking, what makes the difference is a 7
letter word called ‘Passion’. It is the presence of a passion in our life, and
the degree to which we actually follow it, which determines the amount of life in the moments we live. It is the passion for something which keeps us going, which is the
driving force in our life. It is this passion, which makes us love our lives. Some people call it goal, but i disagree with them. In my opinion, everyone of us has some goal in our life. It is the passion associated with that goal, which actually makes it more than just a goal. Secondly, this passion can be for anything, from activities like
music to our love for a person, it can be somebody’s passion for music to the
passion which Mother Teresa had for the betterment of humanity.
We all know
what our passion is, but somehow some of us forget it and some put it behind their
backs. For the ones who just put it behind their back, there is only one
suggestion. Guys, come on there is something just “behind your back” which can
make your life awesome, just take it and LIVE. Create your own world without fear. For the ones who forget it, the trick
is to do some soul search. I was recently reading a post on Facebook by a Pakistani
journalist named Aamir Khakwani. He mentions a small soul searching technique
for this purpose, which goes like this:
"Sit
in a quiet room and consider for a moment that you have died and people are
writing your gravestone. This is your final destination, the end of your life. Now
think, what do you want them to write on that? Whatever you wanted to be in
your life, you will choose the same to be written on the gravestone. Keep
thinking in the same way, choose 3 writings and then keep thinking over them
and finally choose one"
So the
simple, yet difficult, recipe for a wonderful charming life, without Borusperation,
is in finding our passion and then following it without fear. To be honest, i have not worked on it, but i have got the solution.
Wherever
you are, be a source of comfort and joy for the fellow creatures.
Peace be
upon you all
