Discovering My Inner Light
Aug 4th 2007Nik AgarwalRantings
Some years ago, someone once told me, “You know why people hate you Nik? You try to act cool and funny but you’re not. You just need to be yourself.” Those words had a profound impact upon me and forced me to rethink how I view myself and my own life. Many people simply choose to enjoy life and have fun, but I have consistently chosen to re-examine myself and discover my inner-self. I have never been fond of religion because I believe that too many people have capitalized the term God and religion. It is my belief that God’s message to everyone is to simply explore their inner soul and live life. A few years ago, I discovered that I was destined for some hard times but with them would come invaluable lessons of life.
So here I am today, exploring my world and learning more about myself. Everyday I wake up and am always excited to learn something new about someone else, or something, or even myself. I’ve learned that educating myself is simply a passion because when you learn something new, you have the chance to integrate it into your life and make yourself a better person. I see too many people around me who are content with what they are or what they do. And my proclivities are always to improve and expand and continue to grow mentally. Some might call my pursuit of perfection an illusion, but I consider it a life goal that can only make my life better as days go by.
Thanks to another good friend of mine, I have had the chance to learn about metaphysical philosophy that caters directly to what I am interested in. Authors such as Descartes and Paulo Coelho allow me to question my life and events in the hopes to better understand myself and others. For the past few months, I have been diligently studying and trying to improve my inner-self and learn new things. I would even venture out and say that I am very intrigued by the idea of Enlightenment and am interested in learning more about it. So what are your thoughts on my mission? Why do you think I am doing this? Ask yourself questions and try to find the answers because you just might discover your inner light.
