AHA-MOMENTS
You can’t cheat GOD
Authenticity will make you a better human being because the world responds to your vibes says Megha Sometimes, do you meet people who say and do all the right things, and yet something within you just does not feel convinced about them? You feel a little doubtful and anxious about them. And vice versa. Some people are so in the face, and yet, inherently, you like them. You trust them.
I have come to realise that a lot of people are trying to be something that they are not. Our education system taught us that it’s okay to have positive emotions, but it didn’t teach us how to deal with negativity or our vulnerabilities. A lot of us were not accepted for crying, being scared, or feeling jealous or angry, in our childhood and, therefore, started believing that it’s not okay to have these emotions.
However, truth be told, we all still feel these emotions, and since they don’t seem acceptable to the world outside, we start masking them and pretending to be people we are not. I think this suppression is one of the biggest causes of mental illness and physical ailments that exist in our world today.
And the answer is to be a lot more authentic to the world. And most importantly, to ourselves. There is a system beyond all human systems—the God system—and you cannot cheat this.
Even if you convince the whole world that you are happy but you know in your heart of hearts how unhappy you are, you will only keep drawing more of that. The system responds to your vibes, not just to your words. Even if you try to convince the whole world how beautiful you are but, within, you have ugly thoughts for others and you don’t really wish them well, at some point, the system will respond only to this, and you will draw unpleasantness into your life. The system is responding to who you are at the core and not to what you are presenting yourself as.
Having said this, the truth is that all of us are a mix of the good and the bad. So how do we tackle this? The more honest I am with myself and the more accepting I am towards my vulnerabilities, the easier it is to transcend them. Rather than trying to pretend that a problem does not exist, or a flaw isn’t there, simply accepting it as it is and embracing it has allowed me to let go of it.
In fact, the span in which I feel the negative emotion, has lessened by simply accepting that this is me and it’s perfectly fine. Also, when it comes to relating with others, most people prefer honesty, even if it’s a little tough to handle. If there are people who only want sycophants around them, I wouldn’t be able to get along in any case. I prefer to have relationships that are real and honest, and if that makes them imperfect, so be it.
You just cannot cheat God! Who you are, you are.
It’s your vibes that are going to make things happen for you. Instead of pretending to be good, working on yourself and actually becoming good is easier. Instead of pretending to be happy just for social media, it is easier to work on yourself and become happy.
The Universe is responding to who we are. It is a system that is immaculate and cannot be cheated. So, let’s work on ourselves and get ourselves right, rather than trying to show the world that we are right.
