This is an essay I wrote about, inspired from a picture of a treasure trove from my mind.
(Trying to convey the image I have imagined).
Essay.
Life is a treasure trove
Strangely enough we seem to focus on the negative side in life rather than the positive things we have experienced. The media especially can be a source of our negative perspective in life. Containing many issues and problems delivered daily to the masses. But did you know if you just put your phone down and look at some trees and plants you will feel much better than you did before you went to see some trees and plants. Life is complicated but that does not mean that you will also overcomplicate your life daily. You cannot expect life to be easy but rather than focusing on things you cannot control aim to live mindfully, develop a purpose and work on achieving fulfillment in tranquility.
"You are you when you are mindful, you become your authentic self, true and original" (learnt this from Hamza). Often times we do not live in the present we overthink, worry about the future and live in the past regretting past action. Living mindfully allows you to enjoy and have fun doing things.
It's a super power that grants you the ability to see what’s in front of you and tackle what is in front of you. Live more in the present, focus on what you can control and let go of what you cannot, is a timeless philosophical stoic wisdom making you think more clearly and better.
There are people that wake up and do not know why they wake up in the first place. Of course the practical answer is because we slept and the natural response of the body is to wake up when sleeping, the problem is many do not know why they keep working and earn in an income for. Most live life aimlessly and just exist, never knowing how to live. The most ambitious, energetic, and cheerful people are those that live by and are guided by their purpose in life. They know what to do and what to work on and it makes them happy.
A tranquil life is one that we have come in terms with our problems, strength and weaknesses. We achieve tranquility not by being relaxed and doing nothing. But by accepting everything that comes and goes knowing that, we cannot control everything other than by our own body.
The more tranquil we get, the more we live life fulfilled. Tranquility is only reserved for those that understand life and how to live accordingly. Peace of mind comes after tranquility, it allows you to be free of worries and see things in a holistic perspective.
Life is a treasure trove, Full of valuable experiences, memories, and events. Its only we get to see the treasure inside when we know how to open it, knowing what is inside and how to appreciate what is inside. Being mindful, having a purpose and being tranquil allows us to see life as a journey, opening many treasure troves not limited by one but by all we can find and see.
Life can be viewed simply, but our lacking in understanding things that are hard to understand make us perceive life in a complicated perspective and there should be something that we should all nurture a holistic well-being to appreciate life's explored and unexplored treasure troves making us see life in a simple viewpoint.
Words came to my mind with fluidity and fluency.
