DIscover Your Self!

You are not what you think you are
You are not what others think you are
You are not what you think you want to be
You are not what others expect you to be

You are not your habits that you exhibit
You are not your actions that are explicit
You are not the knowledge that you have absorbed
You are not the skills that you have cultivated

You are not the joy that you have at regular intervals of time
You are not the suffering that saddens you at moments of time
You are not what you present yourself to the world at large
You know you are fooling around when you carry around garbage

You are not what your parents, children, siblings or friends say you are
You are not the fear that binds you to remain in the status quo
You are not the challenges that constrains your progression
You are not the permanent solution in the world’s evolution

You are not what your bosses decide are your personality traits
You are not what your peers share feedback providing their insights
You are not what your juniors provide you their views in their sight
You are not what plight you land in the battle between fight or flight

You have arrived in a form yet will have to give it up one day
You have put on a mask to protect yourself and have your say
You feel that your care for others will enhance their stay
You feel that you have outgrown the age to have fun and play

You have not even spent moments thinking about what you want
You have not even spared a thought deliberating on your want
You have lived in this world and have got caught in the whirlpool
You have given up your hopes as much as you realize it is not a rule

You need not spend any single moment thinking about your true self
You need to just realize that you are all that comprises this world
Your thoughts and emotions creates a world that you choose to inhabit
You need to accept that you neither inherit nor leave behind any legacy

Your views may be discussed now or later or never in this world at large
You should not feel weighed down by discovery of increased load of baggage
You just need to live a simple life true to your values and principles in this life
You need to have joy and share what you believe inhibits living a fulfilling life

You will observe that you will have a calmness and composure without making efforts
You will observe that your words have its impact on people without any much effort
You will observe that you are full of energy ready to take action without any effort
You will observe that your real self has taken over its role without you taking any effort!
