#7 : Wake Up - Choose

 

Wake Up – Choose

On a Friday night a  man drank heavily while returning home he got bruises. After reaching home, he quickly went to the bathroom and dressed up his bruises and swiftly slipped into his bedroom without being noticed by anyone.

Next day When is Woke up his wife asked him, did you had drink yesterday, he Confidently said No I didn't, as he knew no one noticed while he came home.

Man's wife dragged him to the bathroom and pointed towards the mirror , where all the band-aids were put instead on his body bruises !!!  AND this is what happens with us every day where we put band-aids on the mirror, not on ourselves where the bruises are !!!  We don't try to fix ourselves, and we have to wake up and take action on the path chosen or things we want to repair.

We always feel another person has to be corrected or she/he has to better themselves and we are right. But in most of the cases, it is opposite, and it is we who has to change not the other person. We need to show the path; we need to wake and introspect and lead the path of growth and learning.

We are living in a world where WhatApps university is the popular source of information and Wisdom "Gyan". We feel someone else needs more than us, sharing is good, but at the same, we need to adapt and lead by example.

Awareness and most importantly, Self-Awareness is an essential aspect of Emotional Intelligence. Unless we are aware of what is happening around us, unless we are aware of what we are, why emotions we are depicting, why we are behaving what we are exhibiting. We cannot have better options. Awareness will lead us to better options, and with those options or choices , we would be able to get better results . 

Today on Independence Day we talk about Freedom, for me, the Freedom means to choose, to have choices with responsibilities and know constraints and as said this is possible with better options and that is possible with Awareness. I read somewhere that ignorance is NO Excuse.
