Walk on the path of the almighty and your directions will be crystal clear

In today’s world whatever we consider delightful and delicious is precisely our cravings for the taste we desire in our lives. The truth about each one of us is we aren’t satisfied, which I agree with to some extent. One’s desire to evolve can be love for a career and the respect one always desires as a person based on skills and expertise. Please mind the respect we earn is through the values we carry, the right to respect is viable if we are equally considerate for others. I personally believe we must be thankful and full of gratitude as a person. It all works as a ladder in our lives when we are seeking opportunities. It is one way of reminding ourselves that we believe in god and are walking down the path almighty has shown us. It all matters how well we deal with all our desires and problems in life. The reason why I believe we must not be completely satisfied with everything we already have is our own self-growth, the extreme desire to achieve a definite goal will always keep us progressive. Furthermore, this progress will keep us engaged and productive in a way that we will achieve all the best in our career while learning to be ignorant about emotions or hurtful comments we must least care about. Although, we can not ignore everything as these are mortal life’s petty issues. The best we can do for ourselves is be cheerful about every little growth we make in life. Always remember the good comes in life with the blessings of both the critics and well-wishers. So, always be thankful.

There are so many good reasons in front of us if we think why do we have to be engaged in a job, studies or business. Thinking of an example, not everyone lives a life where they have to deal with immense unsavory tactics, which is a good thing indeed. However, most of us are part of these practices and many even are surviving these practices. This will definitely be going to lead to anxiety then or now. These unsavory tactics are not only practiced in politics but everywhere where one is in competition to the other, be that home or office.

In short to balance one’s state of mind from the unpleasant comments, somebody telling lies about us, or anybody’s distasteful behavior which may cause us to reach our limit. We do not need to clap back the same way. Instead, we must focus all this energy on the best positive way we can for our better survival. Today’s youth is well educated than yesterday’s. We have even better ideas and exposure, so, why not imply the same in our lives. Why can’t we lead a life with an elated state of mind? Why do we have to care if someone is misinterpreting our identity, why shall we care about who considers us what, why shall we wait if someone is going to give us the same respect that we give them? No way! we do not have to react and make ourselves suffer someone’s inhumanity towards us while they judge us for the color or height or weight of any other racist issues. This is even less, some of us are even suffering the worst. We have to stand up for ourselves and evolve our good being without getting into tedious fights or following the same unsavory tactics that have been practiced on us. Trust me, this will someday lead to a day of elation- bliss.

We all feel at some point in time something is not working. There can be various reasons for this thought,

A. we may have failed in what we actually planned

B. we are surviving a life that is beyond our expectations

C. we are trying to figure out the next but it ain’t working.

D. we are too involved in other's lives and are brutally judging others

E. we are humans, and our system can not always reflect positive energy when we have surrounded ourselves all-time with fickle-mindedness.

F. we have been too ignorant about everything and we lack self-growth

Our state of mind can be happy, sad, or aggressive depending on the environment we are breathing. We must relax and give ourselves enough importance. Meanwhile, engaging ourselves in something that will lead us sound life. We do not deserve pain or grievance for any reasons that we have not committed or even for reasons we are already apologetic. We must never treat our own self badly for other's miserable taste of life. Additionally, in many cases, we have observed people using sign language right in front of us to taunt us for if we couldn’t work something well or if we try to explain our opinion on any topic, we must learn and manage to overlook these gestures. Time has its own ways to answer everybody’s questions. All in all, we must use the decent and tasteful life tactics that we have learned during our education phase to survive and sustain well through displeasing situations and the people who lack all of it. When we have conquered control over our reactions we are in a complete state of elation.
