I always wanted to do something different,
something that will make me unique. I didn’t know what it will be? But only
thought that occupied my mind from the childhood was what makes me, ‘me’? What
I can do, anybody can do that. There has to be something for which only mine. I
never knew what it will be, but in subconscious mind, the thought was there.
And, I am blessed to have something unique. I got it. I also came to know that
it has to be shared to benefit others. The purpose of having some unique gifts
is to benefit human kind. It should not be restricted to us; but everyone
should make the most of it. I have a purpose to live for, dedicate my life for.
It is unique and different. I think differently, I look at the world
differently. Actually, I look at it from my own point of view and because
everyone is different, what I see automatically becomes different. Everyone can
do that.
But the most difficult part of being different, unique or
going against the flow is the struggle for acceptance of the idea by people.
You know that the non-conformist idea and beliefs will surely helpful for
others to their lives better, to make this world better; but the question is,
whether people will believe you or not. It doesn’t get accepted easily because
those ideas flow against the current. So people avoid trying new or different
things that challenge the convention. That’s where the struggle lies. The
revolutionary idea is useless if people are not using it for their benefit. The
idea is revolutionary doesn’t matter at that phase, selling the idea matters. As
George Bernard Shaw said, “The reasonable man
adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt
the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man,”
but the progress takes place when those non-conformists are able to sell the
idea.
Being a non-conformist is fascinating to
conformist people, but they fail to understand the struggle behind it. The
struggle starts from home itself. The rejections start from home itself. Our
parents do not support it. When we are exhausted rebelling against our parents,
the whole new level of struggle starts when we try the non-conformist ideas to
the world. We can’t rebel against it because we are too exhausted. In addition
to that, the world doesn’t care about the struggle; it only cares about how it
will be benefited from it. In the process, we get too lonely. We have to accept
the fact that we have to believe in ourselves when no one does. And, it hurts.
The loneliness is favorable in the process of creating something different, it
is a great source of creativity; but not in the process of struggle to get
acceptance from the world. Flowing against the current is difficult, but
flowing with it is lethal. So, the beauty of the struggle is that we get to
live the life that is uniquely ours, not somebody else’s.
