What sacrifices have you made in life?

Human acquaintance and emotional baggage often lead to sacrifices. We are in a mindset that we need to prioritise others be it relationship, responsibility or interest..We have beliefs that anything in our interest will be deemed as an act of selfishness.. More than that, we feel perfection is the need of an hour. Why is it so??

We have seen our parents sacrifice their lives for us . Working hard so that they build a future for their children. Sacrificing everything that brings happiness to them so their children can have all the perks and privileges that they didn’t have. Life long they sacrificed on enjoying their present moment, they sacrifice their own wishes and interests putting forward others happiness.

We forget to prioritise ourselves, instead we keep focusing on the future. Thinking we could fulfill our dreams in the days ahead . But we ideally forget to oversee that the time that we were waiting for doesn’t actually bring any closer to your dreams. As we don’t have the strength and energy when the time comes due to many factors be it age, circumstances, health .

We are in constant fear with the dual mindset of fulfilling our dreams as there are other constraints that life throws at you when you least expect.

Looking back we regret that we didn’t live our lives but have only sacrificed in terms of our dreams, wishes, interest as we are busy building bricks for our future.

It’s only the present moment that brings significance in your life. We feel if we prioritize our self we are being selfish however do you really feel so. As we often feel the people around us should be happy but they would ideally be happy if you are happy. So it’s ok if you aren’t perfect. It’s ok if you take some time out for yourself..it’s ok if you don’t achieve anything big..

Happiness lies within small things in life that we forget to cherish in running the race. Sacrificing our whole lives and then when you think of enjoying it you are unable to do so is that worth it ??

Yes I have sacrificed many things, my hobbies, interests and dreams as well but looking down the lane the question always arises. Is it worth it ??

But better late than never, isn’t it. Prioritize yourself first as happiness lies within..To spread happiness you need to be happy first.

As there is always a saying you are happy and the people around you are happy.. If you are sad, people around you are sad.

So fulfill your dreams and wishes along with people around and everything will fall in place..!!

Cherish those beautiful moments, enjoy each other’s company, make beautiful memories.
