“Achievement is not the most important thing -- Authenticity is”
"Extraordinary Dreams,
Extraordinary Ordeals...
Extraordinary Trials,
Make an Extraordinary Life..."
Here's the Most easiest compliment you'll ever get, a 'Misfit'. You might have been punched up or beaten to death for being the Different one at School & You just might have those Emotional Scars & those Unresolved issues from your Childhood that may have turned you Bitter & Cold. You might have been Victimized for your efforts at Living your Own life at Your Own terms. Let me Tell you something, You're not Different. You don't see life any differently than the People who made you Suck at it in the first place. Your Idea about Yourself is No different than theirs. If you think this is a Bitter Reality check, think again, because 'Thinking' differently is what made you so when you were a Kid. This revelation could just be the Best Positive Change that ever happened to You.
Over the Years, you might have bought into the idea that the World works in a Certain way & You Have to Live a Certain way to Stay Happy & Comfortable. That's how we often trade our Dreams & Desires for Comfort in the Long run. Survival is Important, So is breathing, But at the end of your Days, if the Answer to the Most important thing you ever had turns out to be 'Oxygen', it pretty much isn't worth it.
“The fault is in the mirror that reflects, the mind that perceives, the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity. The mirror is coated with dust and its face is not plain at all. God has no maya; He has no intention or need to delude, nor does He will that it should happen.” -Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Back to Being a Misfit. Thinking Radically about Everything makes you that. To put it in Simple terms, you Define EVERYTHING in your Own way. A Break up, Getting Fired at Work, Losing the Love of Your Life, Risking your Life & even Death can Mean anything to Anyone. But they don't trigger the same feelings for just Everyone.
A Priceless Way to live is by acting on Impulse & never ignoring your Instinct.
Every Damn Feeling makes you better at what you are, Every little thought makes you Awesome at what you do. That is the Reason it is So important. No Matter what you think, that Radical Misfit sits at the Back of your mind & it simply waits for your cue to Unleash its Might.
It is Your inner Spark, your God. It was born within You but it won't Die with you. because that Radical Spark is what your Destiny is. It is your Mark on the World that you Leave behind.
It will make sure the World will never stay the same once you're gone & you'll forever be Remembered for that. It makes you Immortal.
The Priceless Life is a Clean & Simple way of Living without Baggage, like a Kid. And it All happens when you accept yourself the way you are, if you begin to believe that being a Misfit makes you Awesome. You're Priceless & So will be your Life.
"I saw grief drinking a cup
of sorrow and called out,
'It tastes sweet, does it not?'
'You've caught me,' grief answered,
'and you've ruined my business.
How can I sell sorrow,
when you know it's a blessing.?"
Rumi
