Believe In Yourself

By Karthik V

This is a story about the power of inner heart feelings, and this is a story that inspired me and changed the fate of my life. I am working in the IT industry in Bangalore and earning more money than leading my life and more than sufficient life to run my ordinary life. I had bought a flat house in the city of Bangalore, and that flat house was bought on an EMI loan payment. Every month, the collection agent of the bank knocks on my door “”and asks, “Where is the Emi payment inin the first week of the month. My salary will be credited to my bank account on the first week of every month. When I pay the EMI payment to the collection agent of the bank, my bank balance will be lower to satisfy my basic needs in my daily life. The collection agent collected the Emi payment from me and moved on from my house. Every time, I felt very sad, and I felt my situation “like a hell to the core,” and I hated my life totally—not only my flat house, but everything in my flat house, which I bought in Emi payment because of my uncontrollable desire, and I followed instructions from my brain, not from my heart. One day, I started walking on the roadside with a sad face, “Like a waning cresent." At that time, I saw a blind beggar with one leg, and he was happy every time he heard the sound of the coin on his plate, "Clink." The next day, I went to my office. 

On that day, which is my worst day, my HR of my office upbraid and rail me, “Like “Black and Blue." That day also, I saw that beggar in the same place,When I saw him last night.He was so happy with some of the coins on his plate when he heard the sound of the coin. I followed him, and I noted something on his plate, and he earned only less than he needed for his daily life. But he was so happy and enjoyed that money, and he is most comfortable with his life. After that, I left that place, went back to my flats, and lied in my bed. I couldn’t sleep because,  in my mind, the beggar is roaming here and there and just looks at me “like a night owl." The next day, I noted a thing in the sky that “sunshines with a new bliss with flying chirping birds” around my flat house. After I completed my office work and I saw that beggar, I decided to ask him, "How is he happy every time, with that small amount of money? I moved towards him and put a coin on his plate, and at that time, he had a blissful smile on his lips. I asked him, “How are you happy every time you hear the sound of the coin?” and I asked him, "How does this amount satisfy your needs?" The blind beggar replied to all my questions. I was shocked by his reply, and I moved on, full of thought and his words. Those words from those blissful lips totally changed my thoughts about life, and I gained the confidence to face all my hurdles and determined my destination in life.

The blind beggar replied, I was born into a rich family, and I have a family with one son. I didn’t face any struggles in any situation in my whole life. One day, I got into a major car accident. At that time, my wife’s intention was realized by me. She cheated me, and her intention was to grab all of my property with all the money. After I was discharged from the hospital, I didn’t know what to do. That time, I realized that “life has to move on, and your destination is a long way away." Money cannot determine your life; it is a part of life.” On that day, I decided to do my job and to protect handicapped people from the accident.So that, whenever I hear the sound of the coin “Clink, I am alive to move on to my destination and I have to achieve something, in this life, and I trust my inner heart feelings, and that is what moved me to do this thing and to be on the right path of my life. Every day of my income on my plate, at whatever it may be, I save a part of that money to help the accidental people who are suffering to live in this world. I didn’t know how it would work, but my inner heart says, “You can do it." This move motivates me. I never hated my life because “what is happening is going to happen."We all have the willpower to overcome any hurdles and obstacles, and he stated in a statement that “the inner heart is the most precious thing, and it will guide you only on a good path, define you, and show our determination of the destination of life. And finally, he said, “Trust your inner heart, and it will lead to the right  decision." At that time, I realized that life has more spikes and hurdles to stop to achieve its destination of the life.If we follow our inner heart, it will pave the way to overcome all obstacles and hurdles of life, and it will show our destination in life.
