We all crave a 2 am support and lifeline!! Yet very often we detest being one. Recently I was listening to my son’s Amazon library songs, and came across lovely lyrics -” You get what you give…” by New Radicles. The new age gen Z song touched me…” Don’t let go you have the music in you”. This new generation has defined spirituality with their outlook and how they live it, rather than following rituals and protocols. Hours of prayers can be futile if we forget the fact that the divine resides in the hearts of people around us; the more we do justice to our ecosystem the more spiritual we are!!
The bottom line is if we wear our heart on our sleeve and plunge into a world of uncertainties, with a single-minded belief that doing good has a boomerang effect, life all of a sudden is simplified. The balance sheet of other’s deeds or sins, doesn’t bother us anymore; cause we know we only attract what we GIVE -DO -BELIEVE -FEEL!!!
Building a 2 am inner circle that we can rely on, starts with our actions. In fact, sometimes the good samaritans appear out of nowhere to be our saviors. I remember almost two decades back in Kolkata, me, my son who was about a year old, and my husband were returning from the airport after dropping a relative when we met with an accident and suddenly groups of people came forward to get us out of the car and got a cab for us.
It’s not only the network we build, it’s also our day-to-day actions -thoughts -feelings that eventually decide how the divine creates a shield of souls around us.
6 Action Steps to creating your 2 am lifeline:
- Unconditional Love and Support – When we start by extending unconditional love and support to our inner circle, we have built a foundation to the lifeline which we may have to opt for at some time.
- Stop engaging in Gossip -If we have feedback for someone we can always meet up or pick up the phone rather than creating a gossip chain. Gossip often can damage relationships and long-term understanding. Gossip also creates a negative charge in our life.
- Ask for Support -Often we find it difficult to ask for support. This may be due to ego or even apprehending perception of others etc. However, reaching out to people is the best way to keep your network warm. This could be to ask or even extend support.
- Celebrating Milestones of Others -We need to rise above the ”Neighbours envy Owner’s pride” concept and rejoice in the success of others if we want a strong 2 AM LIFELINE circle! What we appreciate in others we imbibe in our life and personality.
- Revisit our Personality -” You attract what you are”. Thus being the person we want in our life is an easy way to build a network of the strong team-or inner circle of friends.
- Opt for the Good of 50-50-Recently my daughter came up with a great theory, everything is 50-50!! School too was half good half bad! Interesting that we always focus on the half bad when we want to judge others and just the opposite when it comes to us!! Every lifeline starts with what you want to prioritize …When you cherish the good from the 50-50 principle you would never be let down. Rather than complaining look at the brighter side of 50-50 and you are a Winner!!
