'Think Others'

I am 26, and only now am I in a way realizing the fact about living my life.. that it is not only about me.. it is about other people too - people with whom I am currently involved with and also would be in future. I've come to see how I have lived so far... in a cocoon .. without exposing myself much to the pain and the suffering of other people around.. as an ostrich who puts her head in the sand pit and imagining all is fine as long as I don't see anything. I've come to realize that this whole mentality is a pretty selfish one.. being only concerned with my own welfare and not be really concerned about other people's welfare. The root of this issue as I see it now is an unwarranted and baseless discontentment with myself (with who I am as a person).. If only I am able to truly see my worth and value just being who I am, I bet that I would also be much prompted to see the worth and the value of the people around me with whom I live with on this planet... And then I'd rather be thinking about other people and about how I can be of value to their lives and not being obsessed about my own welfare ( which doesn't really work for my welfare by the way).. And I'd be having a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction too as I pursue God's calling for my life: ' I will bless you ... and you shall be a blessing..'

My life thus far...

This is my first blog here and I am trying to make sense of how I have lived my life thus far... Have I lived life to the fullest potential that I could have? Have I truly been purposeful & dedicated in all my life ventures thus far? Thus far, I can only but be honest to myself and to my friends and say that I haven't taken life with the required seriousness to live purposefully and with dedication toward the ventures that I undertake. But I realize now that all of this comes down to a choice. The choice which can either be one which says I am putting my whole effort with dedication in this venture of mine and lead a life of purpose. Or else, it can be one which says why do I need to care, after all things finally don't happen the way I want. My choice is the former, knowing that though sometimes if not always things dont happen the way I want them to, I still do have a purpose in leading my life on this planet. And, if only I am careful and purposeful with what is entrusted me, then I have indeed done my part in living my life to the fullest potential.
