As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. Breathing in the fresh morning air makes you healthier and wiser. Don’t ignore the blessings that every morning offers to us. We all are used to seeing jlourselves with the spectacles of others’ perceptions which are all based on physical attitudes and clouded by the worldly view. Today, we look at ourselves with a lot of respect for all that we think is good in us and based on what others tell us about us. And then, suddenly someone criticises us and we become depressed and lose our mood to the other person’s perception. All this because we have learnt to identify with things other than the real I. Suppose I identify with what specialities I possess e.g. I am a good day debater(speaker) and this speciality has bought me a whole lot of praises from people around me all through my academic career. Over a period of time people start praising you regularly for that and the identification gets stronger. Identification means losing yourself in the object of your attachment so much that you completely forget that this is not the real you. In this case, the skill of debating(speaking) with confidence is a characteristic, which I possess, which can easily lose its importance if I don’t get an opportunity to express it as I become older or am out of school or college. So, what happened to the object of my attachment with which I identified myself? Suddenly it gets back at me and the same object starts giving me sorrow if the praise that I am used to receiving because of it is no longer available. In this situation, wouldn’t it have been better that I shouldn’t have attached myself so much to this characteristics in the first place. The more the identification, the more the sorrow experienced.”
You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will.
