Wings to fly

We heard about it i.e., to be like a bird and have the ability to fly like a bird, where we could perform ourselves with our own will, where there are no restrictions, no constraints, etc in what we wanted to do. Which is what in general, a bird symbolizes for, having freedom by nature.

So the ability to perform ourselves without any barriers, the ability to make decisions, living in the moment without any worries about the future is what I would call it as the ability to have wings to fly.

I keep a check on these wings, whether I am still having it or got ridden off due to some circumstances. Because, when we have these wings, we laugh like never before, we don't have any expectations from anyone, our face radiant with positive life and people really love about it.

I don't say, we would always have wings to fly 24x7 - 365 days, as we are human by nature. We lose it, we figure it out and still we lose it again and again but we have the ability to rise again and regain the wings.

When I was going through lows in my life, I was wondering, why I got stuck in my life, what is stopping myself from moving from that same place, basically, I started questioning myself and tried as much as possible to lower my expectations about expectation. We ain't programmed robots, we are human, we can train our brains, that doesn't mean we would stick to it permanently, we can tell ourselves, not to expect much from others which leads to disappointment but it's in our own nature to expect something from someone always. There comes a concept of acceptance. Trying to accept as much as challenges thrown to us. Agreeing that only humans have the capability to change the way it is designed in this nature. But it's in our wisdom whether we should opt for it or not.

Once I sensed that what I was missing was my wings and inability to perform as myself. I remind myself about wings to fly constantly and try to regain my senses back. Which helped me to live my life again in a better way and getting back the ability to see a positive life ahead. And as much as possible I try to live in the moment and only sometimes I lose track of it, but I am training myself constantly to sense the same and what is causing to lose my wings, how can I regain it again?

This sense also gave me an opportunity to see the same abilities in others as well. I was able to recognize who really got wings to fly. And it gives me immense pleasure to see them as well.
