Fighting our own disillusionments

There are times in our life when we find ourselves standing at crossroads where we are totally disillusioned. We seem to lose our faith in relationships and all the beautiful feelings that we are blessed to feel.  Love, trust and hope seem to get replaced by anger, hatred and bitterness. 

Whenever we go through such a situation and there is despair all around, one thing that I have learnt is that hope and belief in magical touch pulls us through.

I know it is not easy to face a situation when you have nothing going right for you, but believe me when I say that it is only at these times when we have to realize our internal strength and trust that we will pull through this situation at any cost.

Our loved ones guide us in these times of need, our friends stand there holding our hands, we are given help by everyone around who cares for us but there is only one person who can help you in this time of crisis and that is you yourself.

Don’t go overboard trying to prove to everybody how right you are, don’t go in for self pity but just hang in there and think. Lie alone, go out on drives alone, walk on the beach, listen to music, write your feelings out on a paper but do something.

Some will be judgmental too regarding your decisions, some will agree and go along but the crux is that it is your life and the ultimate decision is yours to make so for that it is essential you believe in yourself and what you are about to do. 

Be firm, do not panic, be at peace with yourself and most importantly stay honest all through and you will have nothing to worry about.

It is a misconception that we should look at the morning sun if we are feeling low and we will get energy to spring back. This is not true as per me. I always look out to the sky at night, when there is stillness and then when I look up to the moon and innumerable starts twinkling brightly, all I wonder is how beautiful this life is and how the moon and stars shine in spite of being overshadowed by the brightness of the sun. Do it tonight and see the magic.

I am sharing this because I have gone through such a situation not long back and believe me, with these little inputs I came out to be a winner. I found solace, happiness and fell in love with myself all over again as a human being because people will only love you if you love yourself first and a broken bitter person is avoided by all.

So get up today and decide that you will come out of your problems in your own unique way and be what you actually want to be, be it a prince or a pauper.
