Passion is incomplete without compassion


We all have heard as to how important it is to follow our heart, passion and how that leads to success and happiness.. It is true, it cannot be denied but have we even bothered beyond our success????
Today, success has become a synonym for happiness but how many of us have reflected within to really understand if this is really true ....
We need to be passionate about work or hobby or anything that can bring us pleasure to derive the best form of pleasure but at the end of the day it is ONLY SURROUNDING SELF... it is all about SELF PLEASURE.... It is only self contained..
And anything that is self contained has a never ending longing and greed... To the extent, it becomes SELFISH in nature... Thus, passion in its pure form is SELFISH.
Compassion on the other hand helps us in empathizing with the other, compassion helps in balancing the pleasure we seek.
If compassion is accompanied by passion, we are constantly aware of not putting others in any inconvenience for our passion(happiness)... Compassion on the contrary can indirectly help us in assisting others too towards their pleasure.... Be it growth or be it happiness it is not fulfilling in spiritual term if it doesn't happen with others....
For instance, if I quote an example... Diwali (festival of lights) which just went by.. Assume, only we are privileged to illuminate our houses where our surrounding is not in a state to decorate and illuminate their homes.. How happy or contended will we feel in such a scenario??? Most of us wouldn't feel truly happy as how much ever we fool ourselves that we are only self contained, the SPIRIT within us is always looking at us doing something profound, as that is the real happiness we all seek.
Thus, it is fabulous to follow passion and being passionate about something but if we lose out on compassion, we are only fooling ourselves with the pseudo happiness we derive.
Choice is ours..
It's not very difficult to inculcate compassion in our lives to get that magical feel of divinity..

Here’s to the wild ones. Here’s to you...

Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered.  To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper.  Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces. Here’s to the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread. Here’s to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words. Here’s to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit.  To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside.  To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out.  To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine. Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to f...

Harnessing the Power f words...

Have u ever noticed that during those times you were convinced something would go wrong, it usually did? “I’m going to mess this speech up; they’re not going to like me; I am not good enough.” On the other hand, in those times when you were convinced you couldn’t fail, things tended to go smoothly and successfully. “I can’t lose; I just know there is a connection; I have what it takes.” While we all have varying degrees of psychic knowing, these self-fulfilling prophecies have more to do with mindset than intuitive premonitions. ​ Negative self-talk comes in many forms. It may sound factual, “I won’t get the raise,” prudent, “If I try, I’ll fail,” or like a realistic observation, “I am all alone.” Negative self-talk hinders our healing, growth, evolution, and ascension, creating adverse outcomes for ourselves and our lives.   We all have an occasional dark cloud floating across our clear mental skies. However, it can’t rain every day! The more negative thoughts we have, the more ne...

Approval...

I learned a long time that if you don’t fit into what people expect you to be, they don’t usually like you... and that’s fine by me. I’m not looking for approval or acceptance of the person that I am- I love the person that I’ve worked hard to become..every scar, scratch and flaw I have is original and earned- they all tell my story. That’s the thing: I’m not asking anyone to understand me, because there’s days that I don’t even understand myself. So, when they say I’ve changed or there’s something different about me..that’s not true at all. I just decided to stop hiding all the things I knew everyone wouldn’t like, understand or approve of. It took me a lot of soul searching and mustering up of my courage, but I couldn’t keep living under a pretense of what I wasn’t anymore. I’m going to shine with all of my true colors and people will still decide what to make of me, but I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, now or ever. It’s better to die an original than live as a fake...
