Between Seekers, and Founders!
“The world is too much with us..” wordsworth
In the middle of this busy and crowded Life, some people feel lost, unable to find themselves, or to find who they really are! Such feeling is amazing , because the expected fascinating outcomes of it are a life-changing ones.
It is uneasy to continue living aimlessly, with no clear path, belief, principle, or even a philosophy to follow. It is well-known that lots of aspects, working in an interactional way, shape the life of a human being. Here “I” divide people into two parts: Seekers and Founders.
Seekers, those who seek recognition, or waiting to be respected, accepted, appreciated, or at least felt by others. This way of thinking weaken their souls, and increase the agony they feel while experiencing being LOST! This is due to the nature of today’s generation and the reality of the world where nobody seems to care about others or even notice their existence. We are living in a cruel world of materialism and mutual interests, which pushes us (as humans) away from the essential and the basic feelings of Humanity. The feelings of loving each other without a purpose.
My word to the seekers is: for God sake, stop seeking. No one will listen to you, no one will notice you, and no one will recognize you! Almost everyone has his own challenges, obstacles, difficulties that they cannot hear you or have a little time to you. It is a busy agenda, the agenda of accumulating materialistic stuff. Mostly, you will be lost that you will never find the way out, and you will waste your valuable living time waiting for others` recognition. So, what can you do?! Maybe changing the road of your journey to the other not taken one, the road of founders!
Founders, those who stop seeking, and instead they prefer to discover the essence of their selves, to realize the truth of who they are! What an enlightening experience they go through! An experience of knowing, discovering, realizing, and being fascinated by what they learn. An extraordinary and a fabulous spiritual journey of finding the core of who they are! A way from waiting to be given credits or being recognized by others. They determine with a strong will to find themselves by experiencing their abilities, souls, potentials, and looking back to the amazing moments of their past. What is worth noticing here is the idea of finding ourselves instead of seeking and waiting for recognition from others.
Don’t expect anything in return of your good deeds. Don’t seek appreciation of what you have given. Instead, do all what you have to do to satisfy yourself before satisfying others. It is time to be YOU. In brief, finding the wonders of yourself is much better than seeking it from others around you. Remember, you cannot please all people, regardless your efforts to do so. You will still be seen as a jerk, naïve, fool, or even stupid! But who cares?!!!
Give love, to live.. Give without any sort of minimum expectations to be given in return. Love yourself, love others, and make sure that you are a unique person, with a unique history that tells others who you are, and what is the story of your marvelous journey in Life. Remember, you need others, not to judge you, but to live with and love you. You are the master of your destinations, don’t let others to direct you, because they don’t own you!
To sum up, my beloved teacher, the late Leo Buscaglia said “I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving and then you do it.” And I think a man has to maintain the core value of his soul!
