AUKAT- The Reality Check

AUKAT- Embracing Reality!

AUKAT, a word that carries a sting, a truth that might hit hard. But does it truly belittle us?

Think about it. Is it realistic to expect a luxury car worth lakhs when you earn a modest monthly income?

Can we stubbornly long for a mansion when our bank balance can’t even handle a single EMI?

And more generally, should we demand things that are way beyond our means?

So why should the realization of our limitations be an insult, rather than a mirror for self-reflection?

Let’s view “AUKAT” as a wake-up call to reality!

Dreaming big is not wrong, nor is having ambitions that seem out of reach. However, it’s crucial to put in the hard work and strive for those dreams ourselves, instead of relying on others to fulfill them.”

The moment someone questioned my lifestyle, I had a profound realization of my “AUKAT.” Like anyone else, it stung, and I felt deeply insulted. However, it also served as a wake-up call, a stark reminder of the truth.

Yes, my dreams are vast, but at present, they lie just beyond my grasp. Relying on someone else to hand me the life I yearn for will only lead to disappointment and pain, one way or another!

So, why not take charge and pave my own path toward those dreams?
