The ‘I M Possible’ possibility

Impossible is a word that rings quite often these days on almost everything one tries to do. It effects sleep, looks, personality and even starts screeching breaks on the dreams we see. Stop or pause alike, the word stands to its worth even as the person uttering it compresses into boxes with pressure from all sides.

I M possible is the mirror twist to the vision of the word impossible. Let’s see how. Two ways to it.

The first. Not possible, not possible, not possible, not possible, tired of trying to make it possible, too tired of trying to make it possible, can’t stop uttering impossible, have to stop uttering impossible, so I stop uttering impossible, stop giving importance to impossible, stop ‘the’ impossible, make it possible, say I am possible.

The second way. Possible it is? Possible, am I? Possible, could it be for not uttering impossible? What did you say I should say? Ooooo, do you mean to say it’s impossible for me? Let me think. Hey, wait! You see now, how I make it possible. This second way is making it look as the other’s perspective of one’s own self – making it seem like a challenge that the lazy and empty mind was perceiving otherwise. Accept this challenge of the ‘I am possible possibility’ to see how transforming your journey can be.

The Ego Amigo

Holding on to her grudges gave her an unsurmountable strength like caffeine would to a non-drinker as one strong shot of energy. She had the willingness to do the unthinkable. She held on to her enemies tight for she wanted the zing in her life. She thought she had friends and well-wishers but they were backstabbers she couldn’t do without. She played vulnerable to seek attention since no one really cared for what she was. Nobody bothered to understand her for she had left no scope for anyone. She kept basking in hateful glory without regrets for she was loving it. Her revenge-seeking mask had already become her second skin for she knew not what being at peace with oneself meant. She didn’t want any friends either, for she knew having enemies was the only way to keep them guessing.

I knew her story all the while, and yet had let her hold on to her ego when I saw how it was serving her good until the day arrived when she hugged me tight and I knew it was time for her to change. There were no words uttered, no eyes meeting for contact, no feelings to be expressed to make things clear. There was no further need for any communication. It was now time for some soul-searching action of leaving the ego behind and yet not feeling lonely amidst strangers she didn’t understand. How was that to happen? Through prayers of healing and acceptance- the acceptance of the truth, the reality.

I had known her since a few years. She had leaned upon me as a younger one seeking support. I held her hand tight and swung her forward to her world- the same world without her Amigo this time. “No looking back”, I said. She agreed to that.

At first she felt empty without her strength. She remained confused about her changed behaviour and did things she knew not how to. She couldn’t predict her actions for they differed every time. She learnt about compassion and empathy- the virtues she had ignored all the while. She never knew she had a heart that would beat selflessly for humanity. Slowly but surely she had regained her faith on things she never thought existed. Her perception of the world around her had changed completely. She felt thankful to me for having introduced her to the other side of her own existence. She wasn’t dependent on her Amigo anymore. She had shed the skin of her Ego who had once been her Amigo she didn’t recognise now.

I received her call today: a call of a changed personality who knew the real meaning of thanks. She meant sorry too. She knew now what tears of joy meant. She felt liberated and powerful. How strange was it to see her standing in front of me waiting for that bear hug of truth and wisdom, without that skimpy second skin of her Amigo, Ego! I blessed her with all my heart for she knew now on where to start. May her real life-journey begin!
