“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters as compared to what lies within us”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each and every entity in this world is different. All of us living in this world have our own unique identity. What makes each one of us different or unique as an individual in this universe? They are the qualities that lie within us.
In this novice era of techno savvy world, now days we are converging more into what is around us. The happenings around the world allure us more and more and hence we try to change ourselves to in accordance with the world. We have stopped focusing on the unique qualities within ourselves. We are living in such a competitive world where everyone wants to become the best and in order to become the best we try to ape others, forgetting that we are best only when we are ourselves and not the copy of any individual.
Though, people have argued that as the technology is enhancing, as this is a cut-throat world hence becoming the rat in the rat race is imperative. But, what’s the benefit of such development in a person when he is ready to lose himself in the process of giving a zealous competition. When he is ready to forget his uniqueness, his individuality and then just become like someone who has managed to become successful.
This creation is beautiful only because of each one of our uniqueness, because each one of us contribute to diversify the beauty with the streak of our individuality, our personal touch to the world. With this trend of aping the successful and pitying the one who could not manage to pull of success, the world will slowly lose creativity, beauty, and uniqueness. The trend is pretty much worrisome and is sure to lead us to a day when we all will look and behave alike – exist as uniforms.
Once if we know ourselves, if we quest out our internal talents we are capable enough to design our own future. If we learn to respect our own distinctiveness we can survive through whatever tough competition we have to face. As for each individual sky is the limit, one can do as much as he wants to do through his talents but it is possible only when one has the aggressive fire to give the best, the willingness and the desire to make the best out of the talents.
With the evolution and the changes that took place; humans evolved from the animals but today humans have the ability to take their life the way they want whereas animals have to go the way their life takes them to. It is just because animals are all similar to each other but humans have individuality, creativity, internal talents and many other qualities which make them different from animals and so they are capable of planning and designing their own destiny. It is in the individual’s hand to live a long and happy life.
World around us can help us to understand what we ought to be but before the world helps us to understand it is necessary for us to reveal the obscure talents within ourselves. Once we become concerned for what is our capability then the world can definitely help us in bringing the best out of us, in making us value our own qualities and respect our uniqueness.
We need to cogitate on our internal talents rather than focusing more on the world. We have time to recognize other person’s flaws but we never try to figure out our own flaws. We have enough time talking about any third person behind their back but we have no time to explore our own flares and skills.
If we go deeper into ourselves to recognize our own worth, our true nature, our uniqueness, our individuality in this universe then only the world around us can aid us to perceive our perceptions better.
As it is truly said:
“A happy life is one which is in accordance with its own nature”
