Are we living lives that we really like? Ponder over it!
Who prevents us from living a life of our choice? Are they our enemies or opponents? Neither. They are our own inhibitions!
Inhibitions prevent us from living life the way we want to live. Very often, we hide in burrows called inhibitions. You may have felt within, ‘Dad might have lived through many trying times for my sake!’
But, how often have you shared your thoughts and feelings with your father? Have you ever told him face to face, ‘Dad! I love you very much!’
What prevents you from sharing your thoughts? Inhibitions!
An insignificant bickering that took place many years ago could still linger in the minds of many and result in strained relationships. It could be between siblings, father and children or colleagues. Such situations build barriers like the Great Wall of China. The reason for the hurt feelings may have been forgotten over the years, but they nevertheless continue to live in isolation! The cause for such agony is inhibition.
To have better relationships, we must build bridges...not walls.
Some may like to sing, others - to dance, and many may even wish to weep - shedding bottled-up tears, but they hesitate to indulge in such simple pleasures being inhibited by what others may think or say!
There are two aspects: ‘Looking Good’ and ‘Feeling Good.’
For the sake of looking good in the eyes of others, we push aside the aspect of feeling good. Looking good prevails over feeling good. The result is that we are unhappy, because we don’t feel good. We are more committed to look good rather than feel good.
