I AM MY BEST COMPANION

Standing beside the enlightened street, looking at the crowd so busy,

I try to find myself a friend to share my laughter and pain;

Partying with friends and dancing in the music so noisy,

I still long for a quiet and comfort filled evening, with that dear companion.

Many a times we feel lonely and not too often does this loneliness give us a feeling of strength or positivity. It is true that humans are social animals and we live on the concept of inter-dependency and lack of it shifts our position from the zone of comfort. We need people around us and we bind with them through various relations, some of which are made by God and others by us.

In this entire scenario of social ecosystem, do we often realize that we are somewhere distancing ourselves from the most relevant network which can work wonders for us. We are infact getting away from our own selves and from the central processing unit of our existence – our Mind, our Sub conscious network.

It is very true that appreciation, acknowledgement, praise and respect makes us happy and reinforces positivity in us. We are, however, running a race where we forget to use these tools for ourselves. It is quite rare that we thank the Almighty for what we have but it is quite frequent that we complain or pray for something that we do not have. This may either be materialistic or a non-materialistic thing.

If we try to re-collect some bold moves or most important incidents of our lives, we always say, ‘I decided….’ or ‘I did…..’ etc. We do not have anyone else monitoring our moves or controlling us, it is our own mental strength and ability that makes us act in a certain manner. Even when we say that something was done by influence, we know that in any case if we are the act doer there, we did that thing only when our brain passed its command to do so.

When we have such a powerful mechanism to help and guide us, why do we need to look upon at others for help. We should rather invest our time and effort in training this brain of ours and growing its potential. Social existence is very important but a prior mandate for every human is to get an existence within self. We attract what we believe and we believe in what our minds process. If we can establish a healthy and fruitful relation with ourselves, we can make our lives much easier. Also as a strong pillar is base of a strong house; similarly a strong mind is the pillar of a strong existence.

Choice lies within us – we first collaborate with our own selves and find our best companion or we seek solace outside to feel connected!
