Conquering The Inner Demons

Sometimes we want to speak our heart out to strangers. Why? Because they have no role in our lives and are never going to judge us based on their pre-conceived notions. Today I am presenting you a story of one such stranger. Sometimes, someone else’s story unscramble riddles that mystifies us from time to time, creating a new awakening. I hope this story would also serve the purpose.

Stranger-

For last one week I was feeling so bad, like being at the bottom of the world. I was not able to figure out why this restlessness is growing each day. May be some personal problems were not letting me sleep peacefully in my bed. But, I wanted to figure it out and all I wanted was peace to descend on me.

“I need some motivation!” I said to one of my colleagues. But she was busy watching fickle shades of weather.
“Look, now it’s raining, wow! I love this weather, I should ask my bro if it’s raining back home too.” She said.

She got up to make a call. And I was rooted to same place, restlessness intact. I tried to indulge myself in some work, but in vain.. There was a sense of fear of losing something, not sure what, inside and I could feel that vanishing bit by bit. I wanted to hold it back even though I was aware that I can’t, as it was not my personal property.

This fear started surfacing a long time back which kept me in a trance. I knew this phase had to come but I didn’t want it to play host to it and so I tried my best to keep my soul with the same mate, who is no more there.

The entire week passed immersed in the same restlessness. For an year this restlessness, this fear has tormented me. I wanted to escape this reality. But it was REALITY, TRUTH, FACT which I couldn’t close my eyes on for long. I lost interest in everything, limiting myself to that illusion.

I used to go to office, type, talk and come home. Cook, sleep, and again wake up for the same routine day. But, I couldn’t bear it longer. My conscious, once happy soul started urging me to live again. “Life is beautiful and only you can make it beautiful”- I knew this, but I didn’t want to realize this beautiful saying, being in fear of losing something inside.

But, how long could I have hold the illusion and ignored my urge to live again. And this week a transformation suddenly kicked in my heart.. My inner urge, my ignored thoughts started attracting their way to get into action. I needed motivation, inspiration; something that could enlighten my soul again. And so, one day my colleague gave me a book which turned my life upside down.

I read it and started feeling lighter. That book showed me ways to live in a manner. I had always aspired but never dared to. In a way that book was symptomatic of my inner urge and thoughts. I realised them and gave my life a new beginning. Today, I am happy and relaxed because I have accepted the reality, the fact, the truth. The fear has become real. The fear of losing is no longer there as I have nothing to lose.

Now I am ready to give my life a new beginning, a new way to live again.

It seems true that our fear disappears only when it becomes real. After the realisation, the fear no more exists, as it has already happened. When our worst fears are countered by us in reality we are liberated, freed from the slavery of the Demon called fear.

    I have felt exactly the same way. I was restless, sad and down. It held sway for 2 years in me before I read the book “Million Dollar Habits” – By Brian Tracy and started my blog about personal development.

    I realized that forgiveness is a gift not just for those you forgive but also for yourself. I forgave everyone who had ever wronged me, tried to understand them, their actions and just let it all go.

    It worked, today I am motivated and successful.
    My blog about personal development, success and sales has taken off and it is all thanks to the one act of forgiveness that released my burden and let my motivation run free again.

    Everyone need to read motivation books at some point in there life. I now like to use the little book with a lot of meaning. Love the “Richest man in town.”

    Books do change lives. thanks for the reminder.
