Angles & Demons

I think, one of the biggest reasons why we should seek and crave for few serene moments in our daily hustle of life is, it is the serenity that helps us to extract all the angels and demons residing within us.
Serenity…a too mild expression perhaps! We sometimes really need what is called as the ‘dead silence’ to dig’em out from the bottom of the iceberg.

Being unfamiliar with our demons can be disastrous sometimes, but not being aware of our angels is a greater loss.

Then there is this particular thing about demons, that they can be neglected for a while but can not be avoided…they catch us unaware and attack us…..one after the other…..one after the other…a kind of chain reaction ! .

Some people never face any demons in their life….Some people face them but have no swords to fight with them…And there is this third ‘blessed’ category of people who face many demons but are provided with swords too… (First two types are truly ill-fated…)

Killing these demons is not that easy. Cause we generally tend to search them in some external event, person or a situation, only to realize in the end that we were battling the wrong enemy.

Ultimately when we cut all the junk, every situation in life is a choice.

To battle with these demons or to accept defeat before the battle is our choice.
Most of us start playing ‘victim’ even before the battle begins.
We get so overwhelmed by the demons that we forget to check out our swords.
We forget that we HAVE a sword.
We forget that we actually are a warrior, not a victim.

Just a shift of perspective from a victim to à WARRIOR and a battle transforms.
Try it.
Choose to be a warrior.

Because sometimes, the choice we make, becomes the story of our life.
