Embrace, and Race Ahead…

How much is too much? And how much is enough? This is one question that had been surrounding my mind for a few days until the last week happened. The last six-seven days have been quite nourishing as far as my evolution in my understanding of a certain aspects of life is concerned. I don’t know if I can still word the answer to above two questions in clear words, but the relevance itself of these questions has reduced significantly for me, in the week gone by.

Experiences of my own and yet again the coincidence of a couple of my clients also bringing up matters that were alike, ensured that everything in my universe was directing me towards, gaining a better understanding of this aspect of life, which about the feeling of having enough, or not being there still.

Not that all the learnings come very smoothly, and I have had my fair share of swings in how I felt during this process. But all that makes sense when I look back at the larger meaning of why all that happened, which happened. And why was this the most appropriate way of bringing to me the understanding of how much we need to make us feel complete. I have always embraced whatever life has presented to me, and I am yet again thankful for giving me all that I needed to present my most receiving version to what I came across while maneuvering through this phase.

Everything, and with absolutely no exception directed me to just one realization. And it is this one realization, that has been most satisfying as an outcome of the process that I went through. The only message that the universe gave me was that there is no right or wrong in whatever we get or have a particular point of time. The actual gap is in what we aspire to have and what we have a given point in time. It is this difference between our perceived or expected haves, and what we have got, that creates these questions in our mind and thus lead to many further leading queries. The gap between what we thought we should be having and what we have achieved, is what raises these questions of having got or having not got enough.

About five hours of interaction with two of my clients, and more than double of that much time having gone into my own reflections, made me clear about some aspects of this query. And it is that aspiring for more and more in our lives, if that is the truth of what we seek, is not at all wrong, but what is equally right is to accept and fully embrace what we have got at a certain point in time. It is this acknowledgement and acceptance of what we have, that helps us on our onward movement towards accomplishing exactly, and more of what we want for our lives. This onward movement tells us that we are on a journey to get for ourselves, what we aspire us to have, and the best way to keep on with that journey and achieve what we want to, accept what we have got till now, and consider it as a milestone or achievement, that is a part of what we are moving towards.

The only thing that can deter our movement and progress towards accomplishing what we aspire for is when we allow ourselves to get into a space of getting disheartened because of still not being there. We must remember that even though our projection of what we wish to target may be right, our calculation of by when we can reach there, may not have been completely accurate. And it is this gap that often derails the process of further development, and eventually deters us from keeping moving forward and achieve what we had set-out to.

Acknowledgment of where we have reached and accepting that there is still more that we aspire to have, is a normal way of keeping a check on our journey. But what we must not do is to expect things to happen exactly as and when we wanted them to be. 

I have gained this understanding, and I have experienced a mindset change in the two clients who I was involved with in a similar process in the past few days. The key is to acknowledge and understand that there is no right time or wrong time for things. These two words, right and wrong, is what we attach to the timing of something, based on our best assumptions and perceptions of whatever we can visualize. Much beyond this is a space where there just A TIME FOR EVERYTHING. And we must have faith and patience for that TIME, when the journey towards having something finally culminates and we share the space with what we aspired for. 

I hope wish that we all continue to aspire and work towards, what we feel is the best for us and that which our lives deserve. What I wish for all is that we keep embracing that which we get at any point of time and remain mindful that the journey is still on.

Stay Safe! Love to all!
