Check your life goals after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput
It was 14th June 2020 afternoon when I just sat to browse TV channels after preparing lunch. The TV was taking time to load and within minutes I got the news from my husband that Sushant Singh Rajput has committed suicide! I jumped off my sofa. I couldn’t relate the words he just said. My instant question was what the whole nation wants to know…why? He seemed to be successful and content. At least, that’s what the media showed us. This uncertainty had put me in doubt and I want to ask you all an important question today. Do you need to check your life goals after the sudden death of Sushant Singh Rajput?
Death of Sushant Singh Rajput shatters us all
No, I am not here to comment on his lifestyle or for that matter talking about what he should have done. The whole world is an expert in doing that and has done it perfectly. I know him only that much as you know through the medium of the internet and media. They portrayed his life to be a successful example for aspiring people and I believed until this day when the truth came out to be totally different.
The following day, all the channels came up with the life history of Sushant Singh Rajput. Listening to his successful career graph with secret pitfalls in between, I realized that now is the need to check all life goals we have marked for ourselves. Are we doing it the right way?
The need to check life goals
It is important to set correct goals in your life in order to achieve something. But how will you decide your goals are correct and realistic? If they are achievable or not? It is only you who can check this out. With time, your goals also shift their priorities. What is most dear to you today may not be tomorrow. Your success rate can determine if you are on the right track:
- Set a time span for a particular goal.
- If after working out all possibilities, you are not reaching anywhere close to your goal, ask yourself-Are you on the right path?
- If it is giving more depression than the sense of fulfilment, is it that important to you?
- Is the goal more important than your life?
- What next best can you achieve which maintains your life sanctity also?
Is success changing your life priorities?
Once you start tasting success, there are chances that your priorities in life change. It is not easy to keep yourself grounded. Your habits may change along with your company of friends. Every person around affects your belief system whether in good or bad. It is how you consume things and react. Your surroundings may be extremely helpful on some days while depressing on other days. This is when your family stands by you.
Does family ever intrude your privacy?
When you are busy working and someone from family calls, your instant reaction is that you are busy and will call back. Isn’t it? But you often forget thinking it is ok. They must have called to know your regular stuff that can be told later but that time never comes and situations change. When you are busy running after success, you think you don’t need friends and family as everyone is after you at present.
But in one sad moment, you feel alone and just a message to your family makes you feel wanted. Their instant reply gives you confidence and you feel the power to fight anything in life. Such is the power of family. They accept your failures as much as your success which nobody does in the world.
Can you survive alone?
I have talked about this many times in my posts that nobody can survive alone in this world. You need a company to share your success and lower your depression. A person is a person because of another person only. Today, you are successful because other people accepted you and tomorrow they may deceive you. Your happiness doubles and stress divides when you share with loved ones.
Nobody wants to survive alone. You like to smile to someone the first thing in the morning. Always respect and love people around you. They are your pillar of strength. Never wait for a bad moment to test their love but be sure of it always.
Who are you earning for?
In this fast paced life, did you get some time to stop and breathe? Did you stop for a while and asked yourself that are you running more than you can? Did you smile today and spent a little time with people who matter to you the most?
You often ignore these questions because you think you are doing it for them only. But recheck your goals. You started with this thinking but in between, you are lost. Now you are running because you are in the race of people with unknown goals. They all are confused as to what their aim is in their lives? Everyone has just become a machine and the control is in someone else’s hand.
Who is controlling whom?
But you are wrong. The control is only in God’s hand. All planned conspiracies halt suddenly when He takes things in His hands. Watch closely the happenings around you and you will find many miracles which are actually your belief in the higher power.
The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has left us all speechless. The one who has gone will never come back but now is the need to check your own life priorities. Now is the time to ask your closed ones about their well being and share your love with them.
Don’t think twice and just call them up!
Sushant’s death has made all of us reflect on life. It is tragic and makes usquestion the priorities in life. You have raised very valid questions. I too ask myself if goal is more important than peace of mind. And whether I need to have timelines for reaching a goal. There’s no one answer that fits all. To me, family is that one buiding block that keeps my ground sturdy.
Totally agree with you, Rajlakshmi. There’s not answer that fits all but different sensible solutions to different problems provided that you talk about it. Thank you.
It’s really a puzzle why someone takes their own life, Geethica! So many times life doesn’t go to plan and that’s why we are told to accept the lows as much as the highs. The points you raised here are worth considering and valid for all.
Also anchoring oneself spiritually in these very turbulent times is also very essential I’d say.
Yes Esha, my belief in spirituality only keeps me strong in the trying times. Thank you
I spot quite a few relevant points.
Thank you Damyanti.
