Are We Really Living Our Own Life? — Just a Simple Thought from My Side
Anika, Shivansh, Krishna, Hari, Gopika, and the most special one among them, Jiva. Since childhood, all of us have seen one common pattern in life. When a child is born, nowadays they are not sent to school at the age of 5, but as early as 3 years old. After that, life just keeps moving in one fixed direction—studies, college, maybe a master’s degree, then the responsibility to earn money, manage a home, get married, and later raise children. Whether it is a boy or a girl, this has slowly become a standard path in our society.
If someone follows this path, studies hard, memorizes everything, and tops in exams, people call them intelligent. But if someone chooses a different way or moves at a different pace, they are often judged or considered careless or foolish. I am not against society, and I am not saying the system is wrong. But one simple question always stays in my mind—just like two twin children of the same mother do not live exactly the same life in the future, then why do we expect every person to live in the same pattern?
We are human beings, not machines. What we want to do, what kind of life we want to live, which responsibilities we want to take and which we do not—these things should be our own decisions. Whether we want to marry or not, whether at 25 or at 35, it should be our choice. Society can guide us, but it should not judge us or look down on us for living differently.
I have also noticed something else. Many people who look perfect from the outside—good job, marriage, stable life—are not always happy inside. People praise them, respect them, and think they have everything. But deep inside, they may feel tired, stressed or even lost. Sometimes they become irritated, not because life is bad, but because somewhere along the way they forgot to understand themselves.
That is why I feel that in life, even if we achieve many things or not, finding ourselves is very important. If we do not know who we are, what we truly want, and why we are doing certain things, then how can anyone else understand us? We need to ask ourselves simple questions—What do I really want? Why do I want it? What makes me feel peaceful? And even if I do not want something, what is the reason behind it?
One small habit that I personally believe can change a lot is this—no matter how busy we are, we should take at least 10 minutes every day just for ourselves. Out of 24 hours, that is only 1440 minutes, and giving 10 minutes to ourselves is not too much. In those few minutes Those moments help us feel lighter and more connected to ourselves.
If we want to give love to others, we must first learn to love ourselves.
If we want to work honestly, we must first be honest with ourselves.
If we want to keep our family happy, we must also accept that we are an important part of that family and take care of our own happiness too.
And if we want to grow in our professional life, we should not ignore our personal life, because happiness is not a luxury—it is a basic need.
At the end of the day, no matter how successful we become, we are still ordinary human beings who were born and will one day leave this world. The time in between—that journey—is ours to live. So we should not hand over our life completely to society, pressure, or fear. We should live with awareness, make our own choices, and most importantly, learn to live for ourselves and respect our own life.
