The illusion on how to succeed in life.
Put in simple terms, a mirage is, simply put, a “hallucination”… You are tired from the scorching heat and extremely thirsty, and when you lift your head up, you see this enourmous oasis some hundreds of metres in front of you! “Hope“!
You get a surge of energy and hurry towards it, this oasis is always a little bit further, but the same “Hope” pushes you for some more metres… until most probably, you end up losing your senses, or worse.
Unfortunately, this is the life which we are living in, since they promise us that success is within reach, but only for the hard working, who put all their energy and time, and focus on the job. So, you work, and give your all… You get a promotion, but target is still far away, so you need to work another bit… This until you reach retirement, and you discover that all you did was chasing a moving target.
On the other hand, if you make your life goal about self development and energy (spirituality), denounce the ego, and avoid as much as possible the dependance on material things, you will be accomplished in the present, and all the other extra achievements will be blessings and miracles on top.
Start living now, be grateful with the current self, and start appreciating the mirage for what it is… A beautiful scene, within an amazing backdrop.
Good Afternoon,
