My Inspirational Life

Now I have narrowed it down to the fact that it has quite a bit to do with me having gone through some harsh and tough situations while, still keeping the heart of a child. And it has a lot do with my poetry and how inviting I am and ready to help despite having faced the mortifying realties of human societies. But even in that, I am not alone. I can name over a dozen people from my generation who are like that. Now yes, combination of all of it together seems a bit rare but it's not really. Oh right, I forgot! It's got a bit to do with me being a women and not a man too. Sorry, my parents forgot to teach me gender discrimination so sometimes I forget that it's a thing.

This young person did amazing things.
One of them just happened to be giving birth to me

After that she lived and helped built a house all over again from a tent (literally a tent) with my dad. In conditions were her kitchen cupboards were bare, she had stood up against and dealt with over a dozen different bribes and threats and a death attempt on my dads life where his car was thrown of river Beas bridge. And had settled in Tup-Ghar, travelled to U.S. and given birth to happy little me. And all of it, by the time she was my age.
That's one of my parents. That's my mum's youth. I'm her daughter. So if I think my life is a piece of cake, it's because it is. I know it seems I've accomplished a lot in my life, and not saying I haven't, but not the first person to do so, nor the only one. Not even one of the most accomplished one's. Not that I strive to be an accomplished person, but if I inspire you, I'm glad I do. This world is in dreadful need of hope. But don't look at my life and say it's hard and I'm brave for living it. We all have been brave in our lives, in our own small and big ways. Draw inspiration from others, but most of all be inspired from the things in your own life. It won't turn you into to a narcissist. It'll put your own value into perspective. It'll humble you and give you confidence. To find any kind of truth in the universe, you have to face the truth about your own self. If you don't even know who you are, how can be you confident in your knowledge of who someone else is?
Just like what Gurbanni says "munn jeetey jugg jeet". If you can rule your own heart (metaphorically of course, meaning your mind, thoughts and desires and all) the world is yours. Conquer your mind; you’ll then have conquered the world.
