Hmm... can't sleep tonight. I thought it might be a good idea to start writing a blog.
I am going through this very strange phase of life. Everything that I have used to identify myself till now - name, family, occupation, career.... it is all variable, I realised. It ocurred to me that that all these may change over time, but I will still be me inside.
I have been struggling to keep my motivation and self confidence lately, what with not having a job for last 3 months. I have been thinking and I realise that there is much more to me than a job. Not having a job does not really change who I am.
For other people in the world, I am defined a great deal by what I do, what I am called and where I come from. But that is for others. Somewhere along the line, in my effort to be something to others, I got confused between the real me and the image of me that is created using these variables like name and occupation.
The image is important I think, to be a part of the society and to contribute to it. But I should tell myself all the time that I got to revisit the real me every once in a while. So that I dont lose belief in myself.
That is a positive note that is worth fixing my mind on as I try to sleep..zzz
Keep it up!The most important job to be done in our life is,I think,to know ourselves and believe ourselves.Rest is side business.
ReplyDeleteGood thought. A job is a very fleeting thing... here today, gone tomorrow. There's so much more to each of us, so many more ways for us to find ourselves.
