As we grow older in life, it seems that the real change lies in the change of realization.
We go through many experiences, encounter many failures and successes and pursue and lose many opportunities.
What differentiates us is not the quality of our experiences, but the realization that comes from them.
Holding on to past memories and outdated expectations only prevent us from seeing things as they really are. We are blinded by the stories that we tell ourselves. Blinded to the realizations which are there for all to see at the very start of the journey.
A realization is nothing an achivement or an attainment or even an experience or fulfilment of some desire.
A realization is just a seeing through all the lies that we constantly keep telling ourselves about ourselves and the world. Ultimately, what matters and is essential exists right now at this very moment and requires no effort to attain.
To realize, not just live through an experience or attain some extraordinary goal or become an extraordinary person, but to realize with the soul and to be absolutely convinced about how things actually are is the only thing that separates wisdom from ignorance.
The older we get and as desires start declining and we stop worrying about survival, realization gradually gets clarified. Wisdom is a matter of clarity and not experience or attainment.
Our lives and the person who we think we are keeps moving on. You realize that there is absolutely nothing that you need to do to be you.
Probably, the wise ones differ from others only in the depth of their realization. They realize what ultimately matters and what does not.
The only advice I can offer you based on a limited personal understanding is that you need to stop wasting time pursuing illusions. Realize that what you are is absolutely untouched by anything that happens or does not happen to you. You cannot change what exists at the deepest level of being.
Realize that you are exactly where you need to be. That is all.
