Recently at our family, we bought a treadmill. As part of covid, we cannot walk much, so we had decided to own our treadmill. A week before, I was running on a treadmill. Everything was fine, and I was happily listening to an audiobook and mindlessly jogging. But suddenly, there was a stuckup at the treadmill belt and the treadmill stopped. My treadmill stopped for a couple of seconds and started functioning again. During this time, I had to stop the treadmill so that I don’t wall to fall from the treadmill. Hence I had removed the centralised emergency plug from the treadmill, allowing the treadmill to stop instantly.
This one emergency plug controls and contains the entire treadmill within a millisecond. It may look simple, but this one centralised control helped me to save myself and my head. Often in our life, there are jerks happens, and we end up falling. We cannot save ourselves when everything starts falling, and we don’t have the centralised power anymore. How do we save ourselves and not falling?
In this article, we will cover three points and find our centralized power.
- What is your meaning of life
- What success means to you
- How to choose your fulfilled life
Let’s go through the first part.
What is your meaning of life?
Often we have read so many books and try to understand the meaning of our life. Almost everyone, including me, fail to understand this concept miserably. When we ask meaning to our lives, we think that life is at one big balloon, and we try to find a label for it. Life is not contained in a balloon or box. Life is chaos. We cannot see life’s meaning and fix a brand name on it.
So how do you deal with chaos and find meaning?
When we consider all the disorder has a purpose, we can accept all our chaos. When we accept all our uncertainty as and when it comes and practice towards accepting it and deal with it, life gives a meaning. Our only centralised control is that accepting the chaos, live with chaos, and deal with chaos. When we do this, we don’t question life’s meaning since the question does not arise. The root of life’s purpose and questioning it lies with our ability to practice and deal with chaos. Now, Let’s move towards the second part.
What success means to you
When you try to understand success, the meaning of success has two different meanings to it. We see success inwardly, and the other is how people perceive you as success outwardly. Often success is defined in one of these two contexts. But when you are successful inwardly, then there is no external recognition required. Our day to day living itself is a success, taking care of our family is a success, our ability to help someone is a success, treating another being as you as a real success.
We set out the do the over expectation on ourselves
Also start living someone else’s world. We need to ask what is success means to us. What is the one thing that we consider as success? If there is a centralised switch for your success, what would it look like? Satisfying with this one element of success will lead us to a fulfilled and peaceful life. We have covered the second part, and we will move to the third part.
How to choose your fulfilled life
Living life your way, is a choice. Often we don’t consider that we have the power to live as we want. We feel that we don’t have the power because of our habit of thinking. We don’t think that there is a slight possibility that we can live our way. Even the slightest chance of five percent of living your way is a stepping stone towards achieving the most incredible realisation.
The five percent is enough to gain and control our life.
When there is a spark at a forest slowly, the entire forest is full of sparks, and we call it forest fire. Please allow this five percent spark to penetrate your life and think there is a possibility that you can take care of your life and control it. The moment we have this mindset, we move towards the right path, and slowly, we can control our lives and prepare ourselves for future chaotic situations. Let’s go through the summary, and we have reached the end of the article.
Summary
When we look at life problems, we consider our life as a balloon filled with difficulties. In reality, there cannot be any ballon, and your life is connected to other life, and we all travel the same journey daily. Since life has many touch points and people we deal with, there is no actual crystal clear answer for our life’s meaning. Our life’s meaning is that our ability to handle chaos, define our success, and make conscious decisions when we all live together and take care of each other. Have a beautiful life.
