Let's Face It!

Let's face it, we have forgotten what it is to live fully. What used to be a normal way of living a relationship, is becoming rare enough for us to discuss and write...

Can this life be called as life? We spent most of our life to earn for our living. 

Do we live? The most common habit is to take each other for granted and to procrastinate interactions on sensitive matters. 

It is ironic that as we get more and more scientific, we are alienating ourselves from each other. While we thank sharing methods like letters, telephone, email, Facebook, blogs etc…. It’s time we realize the irreplaceable value of meeting each other in person in order to Live.

In today’s world where traveling is most quick and comfortable than ever before, can we say we are meeting each other whenever we should? What is making us avoid each other? The answers can be many. 

If the other is insignificant for us, the avoidance can be understandable. What about the significant ones? The avoidance in such case may be due to our inability to face our own vulnerability.

Parents in old age homes, children in boarding schools, long distant relationships are indicating that we are forgetting to live. It’s time we face our priorities and meet the people we love and start living life the way we always wanted it to be.

Whether we accept it or not most of the time we avoid each other in order to keep our imaginations about each other alive. Our imaginations may be positive or negative. We live our imaginations about others so comfortably that it imprisons us away from more wonderful facts. And this is the biggest common reason for not living our life fully. Are you ready to live fully? If yes, then this blog gives you three simple steps to do it.

1) Face it! It’s high time that we face our emotions, our intensity and our priorities honestly. 

How many of us are stuck in a relationship halfheartedly or in a one way commitment with mere rituals of responsibilities and slavery, hoping for honor, respect and hopeless pursuits of happiness. 

It is important that we resolve and release our energies attached to the unresolved issues of relationships in order to live our present fully. The best way to resolve your past is by meeting the concerned people, if possible. Whether it creates new beginnings for brighter future or not, it definitely helps in healing everything and everyone. It would be better that we face our heart, to meet our lost loved ones and live with renewed commitment.

2) Meet the present.  The famous quote says it all “If you love someone set them free. If they come back they are yours.” 

The Question is when they come back, do we meet them? If not, then it will it be surprising that we reap what we sow. It is important to remember that whenever we meet anyone from our past we meet them with enough time, due sensitivity, patience, non judgmental attitude and mutual dignity. 

I have come across wonderful people who chose to heal their past by facing the unresolved issues by meeting the concerned people with mutual forgiveness and revived relationship. They achieved this magic mainly because they could unconditionally love and respect each other as they are in present and give each other enough space to evolve together.

3) After we have faced ourselves, and meet the concerned ones it is time to take third step. This step is to live in alignment with our core desire and revived commitments to self and the most significant ones. 

All the three steps require courage that can come only from genuine realization and care for life. Life is all about connecting, celebrating and concluding unresolved relationships of our earlier lives. 

As we do not know the expiry date of this life, the only time we have for our relations is Now.

Let us live, for that let us meet and for that let us face unresolved issues in the eye. The Karmic cycle of life is waiting for us to complete the circle at the earliest.

May you face your core wish, meet those who love you as you are and live with commitment with those who reciprocate.

With genuine care for life.
