We know to deal with Stress, we know to handle pain. We often come out so strong as we fight many challenging situations. We get better at it as we go. We get into marriage, then children, then the next 25 years will turn out to be a constant hardship of making sure they get the best upbringing, and infact most of us do manage to make sure all ends meet. The line "tomorrow never dies" is the most continuous statement on time and tomorrow always lives on and I don't want to talk about Old age. We plan everything for tomorrow, and thats a good thing; no one ever said don't feed your own family or become a priest or a saint. Not every one can be a good Saint and its not easy at all to be so pure, divine and forgiving. As a family person, it is alright to get busy and live a life for our people, our family and career.
There is one important thing which we ignore on the way and that is to find a meaning out of our own Dreams and aspirations. Often many dream of being a musician, singer, dancer, poet, writer, cook, etc., but we succumb to our routine events and get busy. We bottle this crave of doing something you infact like somewhere in the deep and we bury it. After sometime its buried in the core that its forgotten and gets difficult to unearth it.
Take for example - A man sitting as an audience watching a dancer perform and he goes on to imagine that he wished he would also be able to dance like that, dance his pain away, dance all the hardships and yet entertain the crowd, groove to the music and feed on the satisfaction and dream of that world how it would be if he did really dance then that dream is from his Soul. Such dreams from within are from the Soul. In this case, the man's Soul wants to dance and when one gives what the soul wants, life becomes easier, suddenly there wont be many negative situations but a rewarding experience of life. Thats what you get when you treat your soul with what it likes to do. Here is one such short story, a real life story of a well known singer called Gangubai Hangal.
Young, born to a poor agriculturist father, she grew up watching her mother sing. Singing was the one thing that made young Gangubai happy. She was married at the age of 13 to a Lawyer, yet she managed to take lessons from a part time Carnatic Vocalist teacher and she practiced all day. She sang her pain away, singing is what her soul wanted her to do and lucky her, that inspite of all the household problems with respect to money, supplies or other daily chores, Gangubai hanagal sang from her heart. she found peace in doing all of it, she got busy in her singing within, so life turned out to be a part time activity. She raised two children, made to her family and yet she won Padma Bhushan Award twice!
Another proof of rewarding your soul with nourishment by doing what you like is that even though people of the sorts of Gangubai Hanagal are no more, they still live in our hearts through their music, through their creations and a very interesting tale of their lives to share and talk about.
In my case, I want to be a writer. All this writing is a way of letting my soul flow. Like Paulo Coelho said "Many people are afraid to pursue their dreams because they feel they don’t deserve them..." Dont be afraid, pursue your dreams no matter what age you are of or what will be the result. Follow what you like doing. Dont let go of your current work or responsibilities, but make time for your own likings and interests.. Live a happy Life :)
