The Truth of Equality

I am writing this article with the intention of all-inclusiveness in the first person so that you also read this in the first person.

Equality

Equality is a status which ensures that everyone is treated equally. Equality sounds good in theory but its not a reality and this is evident in the world. Nothing is equal, mostly everything is unequal. Somebody has more of something and somebody has less of something.

Effort & Result

Not everyone is willing to work hard and earn. The mindset and attitude of an individual have a lot to do. There are tons of motivational stories of individuals who have consciously gone against the flow. It required a lot of hard work and going through stress to manifest. The underlying fact is that those who did not settle have achieved something much greater and better than expected.

There is natural inequality in the results too and it's visible. Getting results not only required hard work but also a complex thought process. Walking on a thin rope, there were time limitations making the path of achievement so narrow that it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Luck factor

Luck is totally beyond my control, wouldn't worry too much about it. Wouldn't even give it any real estate in the mind space. Those who think that he/she is lucky will someday invite misery. Change is constant, things keep changing all the time. I need to just have trust and faith in myself and the process.

Story

When I reflect on my past, one mistake that I made was having a wrong attitude at the workplace. This attitude itself never gave me any job satisfaction. The problem was not in the tasks but in my attitude. Deep down, I felt that seniors generally give less and receive more. It was very naive of me to think this way without carefully observing them and learning from their stories. Inequality was in my mind throughout and that is why it manifested that way.

Conclusion

Those who talks about equality, according to me are the ones who don't believe in it. Most of the time, inequality is judged based on results and not processes. Judged on the present conditions because we do not know the future without considering the magic of change. I should be thinking about how I can become a better person and improve my process of working towards goals. Nobody is entitled to anything in first place. Having said that, it's good to have goals but stay detached from them and their result.

Formula: (Efforts + Thoughts) x Attitude = Result

Change to give another chance

I am writing this article with the intention of all-inclusiveness in the first person so that you also read this in the first person. Change is Constant I know this sounds very cliche, but it's true. Everything keeps changing and I cannot stop this cycle of change. What I can do is change with the change. This does not mean that I change my values and ethics which form the core of my existence. However, it is necessary to adjust to what needs to be done from time to time as per circumstances. A change in the ultimate goal is not the solution to challenges on the way, a change in attitude and a change in the process is where the magic lies. The process requires constant improvements to yield better and more sustainable results. Hence, please do not shy away from making changes to routine, diet, exercise, spiritual practice, etc. How to recognise that? Consciousness by having an inner dialogue with myself and spending more time alone to ask some meaningful questions. The answers are ...

Never Compromise On Your Vision

Image
Do you find yourself compromising on your goals, lifestyle or the choices you make and then realise you could've ditched it at the time for something better in the future? Sometimes we make impulsive decisions at the time thinking that this is what it is and there is no tomorrow, but little do we realise that if we settle for the second-best option and not the best one. By definition to compromise is to  accept that you will reduce your demands or change your opinion in order to reach an agreement with someone . In this article, we will use the definition above which came from the Cambridge Dictionary. What triggers a compromise in the first place? Lack of Understanding: The difference between your first choice and a compromise is often misunderstood. This takes place in our subconscious mind making it difficult to analyse our thoughts and question our decisions. Just ask yourself - is this what I want? If the answer is no, then it's a compromise. Indecisiveness: The lack of ta...
