Balance

Sometimes you just need to put your mind at rest without asking any further questions or indulging in the need to make things right. It was never your responsibility alone. It should never be. That is what you need to realize. It takes two people to make things work and if they aren't involved with equal passion, it just burdens the one who is doing everything to the extent of exhaustion. That is when relationships and friendships break. When the balance is distorted!

As much as I have started to understand life, I know that when you allow people to treat you badly once, they make it their power and use it over and over again. What is necessary is that you decide what you will, and will not allow and assert yourself accordingly. There is absolutely no one who can step on you once you have set your boundaries. Being good and nice is one thing while letting someone misuse your niceness is another and it is important to know the difference. Very very important.

Life's challenges can be really overwhelming at times, but what is important is that you sail through each one of them gracefully without letting the purest parts of your soul being changed or lost to a set of frivolous and ill-minded tendencies. Those that are acquired through experiences, upbringing and traces of one's past life engraved on the soul. It is these tendencies that cause the damage to humanity. The earlier that we step back from such tendencies, the faster we can move towards our goal of being genuinely happy. And that is all that matters, isn't it.
