Power makes you lonely sometimes/Soup for the Soul

Running behind power, fame and recognition, we’ve left behind many things, many precious things that can’t be recovered now.

You were too busy working when your only kid slept waiting for you on his birthday, you were too busy proving your mark that you missed the little moments where your family missed you too badly, you were too busy convincing someone for your own gain that you couldn’t be there with your wife when she was sick, you weren’t there when your friends had bad times or were enjoying, you were too busy earning hard cash that you missed the real wealth, the wealth of happiness and golden moments.

This is the hard reality of your life. You say you work only for their comfort and happiness but that’s not true. Your loved ones would only want your time and your own happiness. They would be okay if you work less or earn less.

They would be happy in less if you give them the most valuable thing, your time.

Because if you don’t, they’ll learn to live without you, your kids will find things to do out, your wife will keep herself occupied and your friends would take you as an outcasts.

Then you’ll have money, power and recognition of the world, but you’ll be alone!

Alone? Not a problem!

Some situations in our life come when we feel the loneliest person in the world. Even if we’re surrounded by a huge crowd, even if we’re around thousands of people, we feel alone and that’s the feeling that arises when nothing goes right.

Even the ones close to us seem to be busy and all taken away that they get no time for you!

But what is the solution to this? Crying and be depressed? Not at all!

The world doesn’t give you any attention because the world is busy. They all are busy with their own life so why can’t you be?

There are no less things that you can do, the things that’ll make you gain a lot. Keeping yourself busy in productive work and the tasks that make you a better being is what is much more worth it than having someone’s useless companionship.

So being alone is not a problem unless you yourself take it as one.

In fact, being alone is much better sometimes. It keeps you away from some pointless worries and issues. And the companionship of some productive work only makes it better.

So if you’re alone, avail the opportunity well and drown yourself in some good work.

 SOUP FOR THE SOUL

Selflessness might be dangerous!

We’re taught since childhood the meaning of the word ‘Selfish’. It’s always taken in the negatives ways. If a person is selfish, he is considered as cunning and the bad one. But that is not completely true.

There are two types of selfish people. The ones who only think about themselves and harm others to have their own gains are the bad ones but the selfish people who besides thinking about others, keep their own priorities clear are the good selfish ones.

SOUP FOR THE SOUL

And we can see it with a fact nowadays, if we don’t think about our own self, who else will?

No one thinks about anyone in the present world. Everyone has to think about their life on their own. And if we don’t keep that little good selfishness alive in us, we would never be able to achieve the desired things in life. Because if we let others enter the door before us, we’ll never be able to board the bus and it’ll leave without us.

So, being selfless ain’t bad at all but being a little good selfish is what is needed.

soup for the soul

Because without thinking of our own, we’ll do injustice to our own self. We’re only the ones who’ll think of our own self, no one else will.
