Is the GOOD LIFE an enemy of a BETTER/ BEST LIFE?

As the topic itself poses a question today, the article too is loaded with lots of questions.  This is because I wanted you all to do some introspection.

Do you ever realize that how many of us live our life only in comfort zone? And did you ever reach to a point that our habit of remaining in comfort zone could have been a reason for our lagging behind to achieve the best of everything that we are now having?

Let’s do some mental exercise over this topic and go to the roots of this argument.

To understand my point, we can take some of the daily life examples.  Food with calories is good as it will definitely satisfy your hunger, yet food coupled with calories nutrition is better as it will take care of not only our hunger but health as well. For a time pass, any book reading may sound good but reading a book which can somehow touch you deep inside or can impact your life positively will always be a better option. Doing an exercise for building the muscle strength may be a good idea, but isn’t it would be a better combination, if that exercise be combined with yoga, so as to build us strong not only physically but also spiritually? An earning, which provides your family with the food, comfort and fulfillment is good but who would say no to a handsome earning which shall also include some future savings? Since childhood, I have heard the saying ‘sangat ka asar’.  In that very context, being social is good but hanging around with the people who help you grow directly or indirectly in Life is always better.

My question to all of you is, why not to utilize the limited time we get for ourselves in a better way? We have a short life, I mean, atleast for my kind of person, who wants so much from her life, the life is short. The question arises, why not to come out of our comfy zone to make this short life the best of its genus. Don’t you people think that ‘just a good life’ is an enemy of ‘a much better or infact the best life’?

We have always been nested within our snugness. I would ask you a direct question, why so sluggishness? Would you really mind, if by increasing your efforts a bit more, you would be getting a better life, a more satisfactory life?  

Good, better, best. Never let it rest till your good is better and better is best. – St. Jerome

Life cycle of the butterfly is the perfect example for all of us. Even the pupa does not exactly become a butterfly unless it wrestles against its own self for coming out of the cocoon.  The cocoon has been the comfy zone for pupa too.

So folks let’s tussle a bit more against our own strengths for becoming a butterfly, for showing our true colours to the world, for achieving a somewhat better life.

I have included no conclusion today, because you are the best judge for wriggling out the crux of the above decision for yourself.

Think about it and please let me know, as to what changes have you brought into your life with small changes.
