2 x Things to Make Living Easier

Fayoum, Qesm Al Fayoum, Faiyum, Egypt by Mhmd Sedky

I have no followers. No million bucks in account. No fans. No money in pocket. No thing to prove you I am rich. I only have one thing to show, the streak count of my blogs. Well, I am consistent.

I am bragging. Yes you are right. Does it feel bad? You bet. It looks weird and it tells infinite things, imperfect in me, needs fixes. But the two principles have made it easier for me, living with imperfections.

Let’s get rich together

1. You are Perfect

2. Stay as you are, Original

1 You are Perfect

Surface

All bad things start when you start underestimating your own self. For example:-

1. Your own hard work not producing good enough results? Makes you think your hard work is not good enough.

2. You talks are not having an impact? Makes you feel you are not talking good enough.

3. Your relations are not good? Inside you, wrongly tells you, you are not social enough.

To be very honest, we all are like this. Broken talks, bad results and boring relationships. You are not alone.

Problem begins, when you tell yourself, the cause is “You”. When you start owning the responsibility of results. When you start acting socially responsible for your dad, your kids or your future.

You are perfect. Believe it. You are ok with the present situation of yourself. The guilt that is eating inside you, is bad. It is a stupid thought and you need to kill it right now. Your thoughts of being able to control your life, are killing you inside. Let them go. Live. Liberate. Free yourself of this guilt. You are perfect, the way you are, right now ___ imperfect, boring and bad.

2 Stay as you are, Original

Affoltern, Zürich, Switzerland by Arie Wubben

Stay awkward, boring and not so fun. As you are right now, stay like that today. When you talk to your friend, tell him the original you, is not so pretty. When you talk to your wife, show her, you are not so big. When you talk to your mother, show her you are not so humble. Stay original.

It will make living easier for you. You will not have to put a mask on your face. Neither carry a bag of masks. Nor overburden yourself with one wrongly spoken sentence at a gathering. Because, this is who you are, you will not worry an inch, of the results.

You will start feeling lighter. Boring words will start becoming attractive. Girls will look up-to you. Friends will honor you. Your mother will love you. Wife, even, will fight for you.

Everyone loves Original. But it is not easier. It is not soft. It is not cosy. Going all in, fully original, is hard. Had it been easier, everyone would have been original.

Conclusion

Hasle LU, Schweiz by Arie Wubben

I, myself, felt, life is for others. Living is for my uncles and my parents. My money is for my wife. My time is for my boss. My work is for my future.

I never thought about myself before. Ignored myself. Neglected. Always put a priority up front to finish first. Always put my results in front to judge myself. Always put an excuse up front to stop myself.

I have told all of them, the mother, the wife, the friend, the boss, now it is no more somebody’s else’s life. Now it is not others first. Now it is me, myself, first.

It made it all easier. Living. Breathing. Failing. Falling. And not getting the judging.

If you want to live a life of Freedom. You do not need money. Or fans. Or a car. Or a bigger house. You need to start loving yourself, first. And start working naked / original / awkward, next.
