Life Lesson
Life is there to teach us lessons or give hints of future and to make us better and better. It gives us lessons directly into our heads. It depends on how strongly we receive those lessons. if you don't believe, calm down, relax and go deep into your mind and thoughts. If you can't do that, try going into nature, then try this with yourself make sure you do not start observing nature. You will get a lot of things in your head and one of them would be a lesson or hint.
So, I too got one lesson!!
It's human nature that whenever a person does something passionately, he gets attached to it. He starts expecting results in terms of appreciation, achievements and materialistic glory. So, did I.
A few weeks back, I started posting photographs on Instagram and will keep posting on. But it ain't the main thing. The thing is that I got drowned in materialistic things. I forgot the happiness with whichone looks at his hobbies. I started comparing myself with the professionals, with the guy whom I don't know, whom I have never confronted. I don't know how long he has been doing photography. But still, I was jealous of him. And ultimately I destroyed my happiness by comparing myself with this person. And when I realised it's kind of laughing at myself.Why I did that? God knows.
Think!! You might have done the same.
They are lots of photography pages on Instagram and they regularly post photographs by professional photographers from across the nation and beyond boundaries, uniting the photographer community. AN those are really wow. So, what happens to an amateur photographer like me. He starts fascinating about getting featured in those pages, desperately. There comes a day when he which means I get a new follower Ok. Happy. Good thing. After few days, I was going through my followers list. Everybody does that. It's just that I confessed it. So, I saw that follower and decided to check out her profile and started following her too.That too is Okay. But what's special is that I didn't care about her for long. But today.She posted a story about a page which was posting photos of others to it's story And thinking of nothing about this, I sent some of the photos to that page.I was soon a part of that page's story. Through an unknown person, I got a sense of realisation. I realised that I was getting my happiness from what I was doing instead of having an urge of getting featured on some page.I realised that happiness is what one should look for and definitely not the urge of getting featured. I realised that if you are good at something you will get appreciation and if you don't get,then don't worry. It's a part of your life, not your life.

Finally, this is what I have learnt:
- Take anybody as anybody. Don't bring them close to yourself that they disturb your peace. Go with the flow. It will bring you what you deserve or supposed to receive from them. I was supposed to lose my peace because of that man and to receive happiness from that girl.
- Seek happiness and satisfaction from your work. Do not endeavour achievements from them. Just make small targets to achieve bigger goals. What if you start daydreaming and get failed on the very first step. Think the grief and regret you will have to handle. Just take an inspiration from the father of the nation, Mahatama Gandhi. When he decided to do Dandi March, he focussed on making it successful instead of dreaming India as an independent nation. It must have been in his sub-conscious mind but it was not the priority.
- Life is Karma. Karma is Life.
