"I see guys spending weeks, months trying to make a girl happy. I see girls waiting endlessly for their guys to call. Is that all your life is about? For your lover to validate you? Or to make a relationship work? Instead, why not focus on yourself - working on your goals, learning something, being a more positive person and helping others. That will boost your self-esteem far more than any lover ever could. Next time that guy or girl treats you badly, say thank you. Say thank you for reminding me that I need to make myself the focus of my life, not you." - Chetan Bhagat
I received this message as a BBM broadcast a few minutes ago. I read this twice to connect it with my mind and to my surprise this is the bitter truth of the present generation. I include myself in this present generation too. Why is it that our lives revolve around attraction, love, relationships & getting noticed in whatever way possible? Life is not about doing work to get noticed. It's always about attaining inner peace, satisfaction and respect.
I have a big social structure, be it family or friends. I have been living around all these things but never realized that all this is sheer waste of time if not balanced. Love & relationships are important too but making it the only importance is wrong. I now understand the practical meaning of these words after connecting it with real life.
I do agree and believe that if we shift our focus to OURSELVES, life will be much more easier, fruitful and happy.
