“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Rumi
During coming to office, while travelling through RTA bus. I got whats app message of my one of dear’s friend. Possible one of last University friend I am still connected with. We both suffering a lot. Because we both dont have proper goals and not prepared to face the challenges of life during University days. We face a lot of extra care and protection and unnecessary pressure to do that and not do that. Unfortunately this extra pressure all are just to achieve their own goals and wants or adjustment of us according to what they want or achieve in life.
He was complaining about his parents wrong parenting. They suppressed us. So we are not able to reality of life. And when we start to face it. It is too late. Some extent he is right. Some time I feel the same. I used to blame my parents.
The difference between me and him. that I learned one lesson. The moment I realized that I am responsible what happen to me.
I start taking charge of my life and start from the same moment for improvement. I started to focus on what I can control. Do what ever task I got. I worked harder what task assign to me. I tried to kill my ego. Defiantly many skills I can not create in myself. But the skills I have I started to use them. I have to sacrifice a lot. Burn a lot of night hours to learn new things. Spent hours to make me master of some technology. Started to write blog post so I will prominent in my field.
Those wounds never be healed. I used these wounds to motivate me.
Regarding Rumi couplet. I told my friend. All suffering and pains you face. You are responsible for that. Directly or indirectly. These wounds are places or holes from light enters you. Means. Make them your inspiration. Burning desires. to never loose again. Never repeat the same mistake. Be clever. Work on your weakness. If possible built on your strength on it. And if this weakness is not replaceable. Try to avoid incompetency areas.
These wounds are indicating something. light coming from it. They identify something. Something to improve. Something to learn.
Something to ignore. Something to forgive.
Never be facing the same situation again not for you even not for your children. Learn from it.
