How To Grow Through Life

‘Do not just go by outward signs; try to reach the meaning behing them.’- Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Why are you judging yourself? Why are you judging your boss, your manager? Why are you judging your friends?

Do not judge people. Because people are going through things. Instead of judging them, why not try to understand where they are coming from?

If done well, it is better than judging them.

Because judging other people is not going to make things better. It is not going to bring people closer to you.

If something is not clear to you, don’t judge. Go to work. Try to understand what is going on. Try to know what the other person is going through. Because you do not know what is going on in their lives.

And people are going through things. Just because they are not talking to you, or talking to others, that doesn’t mean they are not going through things.

If you want to know what is going on in other people’s lives, you have got to know them. To know them, you have got to love them. To love them, you have got to accept them. And to accept them, you have got to see them as human beings.

And to see other people as human beings, you must first see yourself as a human being.

If not, if you do not have the courage to see yourself as you truly are, you will not grow through life. You will go through life.

The question is, ‘Are you growing through life, or are you going through life?’

Why You Must Listen To Yourself

Life is about doing what makes you happy, what makes you come alive. Life is about living your own life, doing your own things.

It is not about trying to be better than others. It is about getting better than your yesterday’s self. It is about getting better every day. It is about improving your life.

It is not about going after what other people are doing. Life is about purpose. It is about listening to your own power within you.

Yes, you have it. The issue is: you do not listen to it. You don’t do it. You prefer to pay attention to all the noise around you.

That is why most of us are not making progress. That is why we are where we are. That is why we are not working together. That is why love is so scarce.

To make progress, you must be honest with yourself. You must listen to what is going on within you. Because that is where success is. That is where you live.

According to Maulana, ‘… if we seek to progress outwardly, we must first strengthen ourselves inwardly.’ He is right. To hear yourself, you must listen to yourself.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to listen to yourself?
