Today I am posing some random questions with no intention of finding answers to these questions. Because miraculously I understood that finding answers to the random (although pertinent) questions that I have in life is not going to make my quest for understanding life simpler or better. As such life is not meant to be understood. It is meant to be lived. So instead of trying to understand it, I would rather live. I've waited long enough to do so.
Without further ado, let's begin.
Who are we?
Where are we going?
Where do we belong?
Why do we meet whoever it is that we meet?
Why do we do whatever it is that we do?
Whatever it is that you are doing, is it bringing you closer to yourself or taking you away from it?
Why the constant push and pull between the old and the new?
Why do we worry even when we know everything is working in our favor?
Why do we hurry when we know that divine timing is at play?
Why is surrendering so difficult?
Why is letting go so difficult?
Why is accepting things as they are so damn difficult?
Why the endless dance of being right or wrong; fair or unfair?
Why does our mind make us suffer when all our heart yearns to be seen, loved, and accepted?
Why do we leave so many words unsaid and hope that someone will understand our silence?
We talk about forgiveness but have we learned the art of forgiving (others and more importantly ourselves)?
We talk about compassion but have we learned how to show compassion toward ourselves?
Are we growing?
Are we healing?
Are we at peace?
Are we happy?
Are we honest with ourselves and others?
Are we ready for the change we so desperately need?
Are we ready to receive the things that we crave so desperately?
Are we prepared to handle our dreams if they are fulfilled?
Will we ever be content with simply existing?
Do we need a purpose in our lives?
Do you feel judged by others or are you judging yourself?
Do you smile when someone calls you beautiful?
Do you “feel” beautiful?
Do you understand yourself?
Do you like yourself?
Oh, and lastly, do you love yourself?
That’s it for today.
Talk soon.
Priya.
Welcome back! I have missed your thoughts. 🫶
Personally, there are two questions here that I seem to have dedicated my last six months to answering: Why is surrendering so difficult?
Why is letting go so difficult?
I’m happy to say I haven’t found the answer yet, and maybe I don’t need to.
