My name is Sangeet and today I want to give you a message.
Sometimes we want something that is not a match to us,
To what we really want,
To what we really need,
But still we insist on having it.
Maybe we found someone that could be our lover or we found a house where we could live in,
But the person doesn't want to be with us and the house is not available,
And still we insist out of fear of losing whatever we think it could be for us.
Maybe the person is not even close to our dream person or maybe the house is not even close to our dream house,
But still,
For whatever reason,
We chase,
We go after,
We argue,
And we suffer.
When something is not in alignment with us and we force it,
We force ourselves to fit into something and we force something to fit in ourselves.
We force ourselves to change for something or we force something to change for ourselves.
It is as if we wear the wrong shoes that keep on squeezing our feet,
Then we wonder why we are in pain.
After a while it becomes normal and we start thinking that all there is is suffering and that life requires a lot of energy and effort from us,
Until the day that we realize that all we had to do was to take off those shoes or not wearing them to begin with.
All we had to do was to stop squeezing our heart with the wrong matches by forcing ourselves to fit into whatever reality we don't fit.
The moment we remove those shoes,
The moment we let go of those things,
The pain is gone.
All along our feet were healthy,
Our heart was healthy,
They never stopped being healthy,
They were just being squeezed,
That's all.
So,
Today,
If we are forcing something to stay in our lives or if we are forcing ourselves to stay in whatever painful situation,
Let's release it,
Let's allow our heart to breathe,
To be happy and to expand.
Happiness is all there is if we just stop squeezing it.
