The Bigger Picture of You

I've learned this insightful realization last night while watching the season four finale of Grey's Anatomy.

I have learned that in order to find yourself in the crowd, you need to look at the bigger picture of life. The magic of life resides in the mind. If we think we are losers then that's only what we want to believe. Truth of the matter is, what we always want to believe is only a piece of who we really are. These fragments of beliefs, which usually tied up from imaginative labeling and society's expectations, are likely a part of the whole and is not necessarily the one who really defines you as a person.

Reality is, there's a bigger picture of you somewhere that defines you. This picture is not something you should do just to please your parents, your lover, your boss, your enemy or your friends. I am aware that everyone wants to please anyone. Some of us may even conform to what our friends wants us to do although it seems irrational.

This is the reason why there's an increasing percentage of unwanted pregnancy and premarital sex among youth. What's really a suck is, these individuals are immediately judged as immoral, corrupt and sinful.

As a result, these individuals can't no longer see what's really inside this bigger picture. Seeing the bigger picture of you doesn't mean that you need to be righteous all the time. All of us are only human beings born to make loads and loads of mistakes. But these mistakes are the only the pieces, it's not the whole. One can commit mistakes every single minute of the day but there's still a better side of you and this is what your identity is all about.

It's up to you how you figure out the reasons behind your mistakes. It's normal to feel guilty when we do wrong. But guilt is only a piece of life you need to get rid of. This is the reason why there's a saying "Don't judge the book by its cover." This is true! Never judge someone; if you have something to say bad, better keep it to yourself. Making an assumption in your mind is entirely different from saying it in front of their faces, right? Sometimes, what's beyond the eye can see is the where the truth lies.

Searching for a bigger picture has no start or end. That's why; it's very inappropriate to end this article with a conclusion. Finding the bigger picture doesn't stop here. It's a process and most importantly, it's your journey.
