Am I important

Am I really important. We get the feeling that I am very important as our world rotates around me. We feel that the world at least the smaller world around us cannot exist without us. If you are in office and working on a project, generally you want to be on top of the project and would have the pressure to deliver. You will feel that the work cannot be completed without you. Even if you delegate it to someone else, you want to see from the side if things are being done correctly. That feeling that without you work, personal or professional, cannot be complete.

Is this feeling that without you the work cannot be progressed correct ? It is not. The work was being done before you also and can be done without you. This way the stress that any work brings with itself can be reduced. Actually the world is not dependent to any one person, we get attached to the world. An officer who has worked in an office for 40 years finds it very hard how the office will run without him. In fact he has the fear and apprehension where will he go to the next morning. After his retirement, there will be some other person who replaces him at the same position.

Giving too much importance and trying to take everything in our hand is also a problem. You will repent for any mistake or on anything which doesn't go as per your plan. Planning is ok, but expecting that everything will go as per the plan is not correct. There is every possibility that things will not go as per the plan. The plans are bound to fail in many scenarios. There are unknown scenarios and situations. Do your best and leave the result, do not expect the result to be in a certain way as said in Gita (Hindu Holy Book).

You may not be that important as what you think. The world can still go without you. Do not worry too much about anything. Do not be desperately attached to anything. Let loose. Play with the life given to  you. The life is a playground where you need to play your role. Do different types of things, enjoy and be yourself. From the heart be honest, do not hurt any one intentionally, you will lead a good life.
