PERFECTION

Failure is an option should be an option, but giving up is not. Never.

We have this thing in minds. We call it perfection. We want everything perfect. We want ourselves to be perfect. There is this image in our head about everthing, perfect life, perfect relationships, perfect career, perfect amount of money that we need to earn, no matter what. Nothing is perfect in this world. We all are perfectly imperfect, and that is perfectly all right. That's all right. You... We were sent here not to become the perfect people. Those people, who tell you how to look perfect, even those people are imperfect. Trying to fight this fear of looking inperfect. I used to be perfect. I still remember. I got this compliment years ago when I used to walk. Oh my god, look at you. You're fair. You're tall. You're perfect. Look at me now. Only the perfect eyes can see that. Only the perfect eyes will see that.

So, yes. In all those imperfections you have to listen to your heart. You don't have to look good for people. You don't have to be perfect just because other people want you to be perfect. If your soul is perfect from within that's all right. This is all what you want. This is all what you need to be. Our society has made very weird. Very weird kind of norms to look perfect and great. For women it's different. For men it's different. We think too much about what people say. With we listen to ourselves too little.

You know what makes you perfect? When you make someone smile.

You know what makes you perfect? When you try to do something good for the people around you.

You know what makes you perfect? When you feel someone's pain, and how beautiful pain is that it connects you with people. No other medium can connect you with others, but pain. That's why I always say that: I'm in pain, and that's a blessing in disguise for me. Today just because I'm in pain and I'm on the wheelchair I work for children. We conduct medical camp in far flung areas of India where so many kids die because they don't have medical facilities. And I personally believe just because they cannot afford to live doesn't mean we let them die. So, we give them money. We give the medical treatment. We try to heal their wounds. Physical and emotional. And I also worked for the beautiful people. We call them third gender, the transgender community of India. You know what connect's me with them? All my imperfections. So, how beautiful these imperfections are that because of these imperfections you can connect with people then why are we all running after being perfect.

What's the point?

Every time I go in public I always smile. It's always have a big smile on my face, and people asked me: Don't you get tired of smiling all the time? What's the secret? I always say one thing that I have stopped worrying about the things that I have lost, the people that I've lost, things and people who were meant to be with me are with me. And sometimes, somebody's absence makes you a better person. Cherish their absence. It's always, it's always a blessing in disguise. I always say that people are so lucky they don't even realize you must be thinking: Okay, you are lucky in what sense? Well! The breath that you just took was a blessing. Embrace it! There are so many people in the world who is dreaming to live a life that you are living right now. You have no idea. Embrace each, and every breath that you were taking. Celebrate your life. Live it. Don't die before your death. We all die. We live this one routine of a day for 75 years, and we call it life. No that's not life. If you are still thinking why you have been sent here if you're still juggling with the concept of why you were here. You haven't lived yet. You work hard. You make money. You do it for yourself. That's not life. You go out. You seek for people who need your help. You make their lives better. You become that Sponge which can absorb all the negativity, and you become that person who can emit beautiful positive vibes, and when you realize that you have changed someone's life and because if you this person didn't give up. That is the day when you live. Always. We were talking about gratitude. Why I smile all the time? I cry all night when nobody sees me because I'm a human, and I have to keep the balance. And I smile all day because I know that if I will smile I can make people smile. That keeps me going. Be grateful for what you have, and you will always, always end up having more. But if you'll cry, and if you'll crip for the little things that you don't have or the things that you have lost. You will never ever have enough. Sometimes, we are too busy thinking about the things that we don't have that we forgot to cherish the blessings that we have. I'm not saying that I'm not healthy and that makes me. Unlucky, but yes, it is hard. It is hard when I say that I cannot walk. It is hard to say when I wear this bag. It hurts, but I have to keep going because never giving up is the way to live. Always.

Live your life fully. Accept yourself the way you are.

Be kind to yourself. I'll repeat. Be kind to yourself. And only then you can be kind to others.

Love yourself and spread that love.

Life will be hard. There will be turmoils. There will be trials, but that will only make you stronger. Never give up.

The real happiness doesn't lie in money or success or fame. I have this all I never wanted this.

Real happiness lies in gratitude. So, be grateful. Be alive. And live every moment.
