And just because someone else is living your dream, you are not a failure. You are always living someone else’s dream life, at this very moment. Think about it.           You are not a failure just because you have not been able to get your finances, your home, relationships, or your career in order. What is the definition of ‘order’ anyway? Who created it? You or your rejections since childhood?           You are not a failure because you have to ask for help again and again. At least you ask, which means you still want better for yourself. Do you? Really?           You are not a failure just because you are not honouring your talents. You will, soon. When the fear of failure will be a lot less than the fear of living an unfulfilled life. That day you will choose to honour the beautiful gifts you have been endowed with.           You are not a failure just because you are not on anyone’s invite list. Are you on yours, in celebration and grief, always, now that is the deeper question.           You are not a failure just because you don’t have people in your life who love you. The real question is, would you love you if you met you? And if the answer is no, that still doesn’t make you a failure.           You are not a failure for having lost. You are not even a failure if you haven’t ever won. You’re certainly not a failure if loss and win doesn’t affect you or you don’t have personal ambitions or goals to conquer.           You are not a failure if you have not shown up today. You are never a failure if you have not lived up to your expectations and those of others. Have you shown up to show some gratitude today? Have you shown up for just one simple moment of presence today?           You are not a failure if you have been living a compulsive life, not a conscious one, a life of insinuation, not inspiration. You are not a failure if you can’t trust others. When will you trust yourself deep inside is what you need to search for. On priority.           You are not a failure if you have guilt and shame. You are not a failure if you regret something. What are you doing about it, ask yourself that and then take one little step from love.           You are not a failure for not being the best friend, lover, bae or beau. Are you your best cheerleader, your most favourite go-to person?           You are not a failure because you have anger issues, you resent people, you feel jealousy, and envy. When will you send anger a friend request and allow it to hold your hand and lead you to you?           You’re not a failure. You’re human. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. You can’t fail at being human. But if you are feeling at the basic humanness of life, sit with yourself long enough to ask what in you has gone numb                 The world will forget you. Let it remember your love.                     We see the world as we are and no one, no one has or ever will experience this universe exactly as you do. We experience reality through our own mind, memories, perceptions and own experiences. And each of the 8 billion of us alive on this planet right now live a different life.           And here is where it gets interesting. You are the only person who has experienced your entire life. Every memory, every fear, every silent thought, every second. There are parts of you that no one else has ever seen and they will die with you. No one except you will ever know you fully, except you. So that probably becomes the purpose of your life - to know yourself fully in every way - the all-pervading energy, the divinity within, and God as the transcendent supreme personality.           While these ideas make us sit back in awe and also unsettle us, they also remind us of how rare, magnificent and meaningful human experience really is. Every moment of awareness, every relationship, and every memory exists because of the brief window we have to experience the universe - just 70 summers and we go through it so seriously.           The beauty is, while we experience the universe, in truth, it’s the universe experiencing its own magnificence and grandiosity through us. And in the process we get a chance to experience God.           Right now, in this moment you are the farthest from your moment of birth and closest to the moment of death than you ever have been. The thing is, you’ll never know how close. Now that’s a reason for despair or rejoicing, that too, only you get to decide. The universe will continue without you. Stars will explode, galaxies will collide, new universes will take birth. Now whether you want to leave this behind with love or hate is, again, a choice you get to make.           Whatever choice you make, the paradox is that in a few years what you have done, hated, loved, said, shunned will be forgotten. It just won’t matter at all. But right now, in this divine moment it matters. Everything you say, do, hold, let go, allow matters. Every act of kindness matters. Every word of love matters. Every action of hate matters.           May you choose love.           The people whom you love the most are temporary. Not metaphorically, but literally. We are all temporary, if that helps, but whenever we make permanent plans, there’s a soft chuckle in the heavens. One day, the last person who knew you will also die. That day, you will stop existing in human consciousness.           May the last memory of you be love. And may the world be left more beautiful than it was on the day your soul arrived here from the heavens.             Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Sold Out 15th to 21st November     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
