She grew up knowing she was different. Something would not fit in. Many spoke about it and many thought she was wierd and some thought she was not going to do anything in her life. She would not comply and how long would the society let her survive if she did not comply? Why did you make me this way Universe? – She would ask.

Then one day ….

“In this lifetime, if we grow rich and if we have 75 pairs of shoes and a walk-in wardobe, we are happy” said one of her friends while casually chatting about life. “But my friend.. she continued..life is tough, we got to work hard”

She smiled.

Dont get me wrong, she loves shoes, she has hell lot more than she should have, she like any other girl loves and dreams about a walk-in wardrobe. But wait, what was that feeling when my friend said the same thing? She thought.

She came back to analyse and then while sipping on green tea, she realised that there was something bigger than those massive dreams that she had. The list of the big and rich dreams was huge, the burden was huge, they were not her own..where did they come from? well, she will think about it later… not the time for it now..

She started schetching – thats was she did to think and talk to her mind and out came a beutiful picture of her sitting on the window while watching many children play and elderly people sipping tea – oh maybe the same green tea she had been sipping.. That was a beuty. That was her own. It felt simple and it felt close to her heart. At that moment, she was amazed how a simple statement had unleashed her purpose and made her think..

Only one thing, one story kept playing in the background. She had found her purpose…nothing mattered after that…

She wanted to be the mother of not one but many children, she wanted to be a daughter to not one but many parents. How? she does not know.. but she has the courage to find out.

I wonder how many times, our inner self or our higher self as some would call it – screams and tells us our purpose but we being we are so blinded by what we see. We want what we see. We define ourselves with what is material and neglect the inner callings. I believe that connecting with our higher selves is the biggest duty we have.. be just to ourselves.

Till next time!
