Apple is the only fruit I dislike. A fruit I cannot bear. Apple gives me a headache. However, I don’t wish to talk about the apple. Moreover, I wish to talk about the fact that even eating an apple a day does not keep us away from the doctor. My journey in life has always been a roller coaster. Full of emotions: especially tears and fear. The doctor was in fact my best friend, despite having to eat an apple once every two days. Why? his pseudoscience gave me the illusion of how everything could be solved with an apple.
My story seems to be a book-worthy story. Furthermore, I shall touch upon it so that you guys do not make the mistakes I did. Fainting during my final exam, crying in the middle of a class, shaking to death while giving a presentation, and thinking of ending things during an FHB class of survival! Ironic isn’t it? Neither the doctor nor the apple kept me from this. Moreover, being a people pleaser and a people person is very difficult. I am sure many of my readers can relate to me.
You can‘t make everyone happy.
A harsh lesson I learned after 21 years. Perfect student in school, an outstanding student at college, a pretty much-known person at university, favorite of all parents and relatives; but rejected by two most important people of my life. Killed me!
We all must learn that being selfish most of the time is what makes you succeed. If one isn’t happy let go of it. You are not here on this planet to make x y or z happy. You are here to make The One happy and to satisfy yourself. Motivation is what comes from within. Accepting the hatred with an open heart and being ready for being rejected is what makes you celebrate success with the true spirit.
Conclusion
We often forget that the teeny tiny things around us can make us so happy that we don’t need humans to make us feel wanted. At night, look at the sky lit with a bright moon. Close your eyes. Listen to the gushes of the sea. Breath in the morning breeze and let your lungs feel the tiny particles of the 31% oxygen (or even lesser in Karachi). Feel the orange, yellow, purple, white, golden, and light blue sky at dusk. These are signs of nature that beg you to live. The little things that God has made for us to tell us that He wants us to be on this very planet with these very people and to prepare for the world after. They are all the little samples of the greater heaven that waits for us.
