Finding the Real Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is one of the most inspiring stories of the modern times. The Author, Richard Bach has beautifully portrayed the flight of the seagull, its challenges and opportunities.

But the question is who is the Real Jonathan Livingston Seagull and what does it represent?

The real Jonathan Seagull is the innate child, in each one of us, this child is bubbling with energy, is adventurous and wants to explore the universe.

But in today’s world this Jonathan is caught in the rat race in the search for money, name and status, which are the superficial norms as dictated by the society.

All our life that is what we are caught in and still unable to fulfill the endless desires. And in doing that we lose the Real Jonathan somewhere.

So the challenge is to find the Real Jonathan and to do what we really want to do in life not what the society pressurizes us to do because that is where our heart is and if we really do what our passion is then our life will be more fulfilling and joyous and if we are happy then we can spread some happiness around, but the fact of the matter is that inwardly we are not happy and that is the reason that there is so much pain in the world.

So I urge you to kindly take out sometime for yourself, relax, find out your passion and then give it your hundred percent, and begin adding value to yourself and consequently to the world.

And that is living a life like Jonathan Livingston Seagull!
