Quest for the Real Self

The world is full of characters. But the question I would like to ask today is: Are these characters real or fake? We meet people in every walk of our life. As we get to know these people more deeply, we come across various shades of their personality. As time moves on we realize that the person we knew earlier was just a fake character which was shown to us for the sake of winning our hearts.

Character portrayal has become part of our daily lives. We refrain from showing our real selves to people around us, and the major cause for this is rejection. We show only that part of our personality to the person in front of us, which he/she wants to see. Each one of us has got into the cycle of character portrayal at some point of time in our lives. But do we take some time off to recognize our real self?

Once in a while, we all need to shut ourselves from the world and confront our inner self. Once we unite with our inner self, we will no longer need to show our fake self to the outside world.

So go ahead, find out what is underlying within your heart and what are your hidden desires. The contentment you will find knowing yourself will leave you with an everlasting joy. After this, you will know what you want and you will stop living your life on others terms. I guess that leaves you from taking the burden of others wishes too. Good Luck!
