Give it all or don't give at all..

It's been after a long time I decided to pen something down. When I sat down to think what I should be writing, my mind was hit with a tsunami of thoughts. Finally, I zeroed on something which is really close to my heart, which I have believed in the recent years of my life.

The thought of giving it all or not giving in the first place is very relative to every person. The word "all" has difference of perception. The possibility of giving it all for you may not be returned in "all" aspects to you. It's an ideology I believe in which to me is transformational. It's something I have learnt over the years of past experiences in my life and the people who have come and gone in my life. For those I know are genuine, I totally stand by them, support them and giving them without expecting to receive something. By doing so, you don't become an important part in their life, but you definitely will learn to honor your capabilities. You learn to hold yourself in high regards, even if it comes with a lot of pain in the process because that is what shapes you as a person.

When I look back to retrospect the person I was may not be long ago and to what I am today, I have definitely changed for my own good. Growth has been painful because it did not happen overnight. It came with its own grief and aches. When I just thought everything was going to be flatline, there always was this deep down self love which triaged the pains and pulled me back to life. It's always painful when you push yourself outside of your comfort zone. It's like hitting the gym the very first day and experiencing the soreness in the muscles the following day. But it's this transformation that makes you both fulfilling and challenging.

I am a strong believer of Karma. I do know what goes around comes around. Well, if I have been giving selflessly for so many years of my life, some day I hope the giver receives it too. Sometimes one tries very hard to convince people that we are human, that we matter and we are deserving. What I feel is, it's not important to convince people, its important to convince yourself.

And that my friend according to me is by giving it all.
