Life was, is and will always continue to be a mixed bag. The important thing here is how we deal with it. Do we get depressed and let it affect us or do we accept it a brave manner, work on our shortcomings and try and improve our confidence. It's easy to become negative in our thoughts at the first sign of failure. Agreed that life isn’t a bed of roses but it isn’t a bed of thorns either. The options that you have are very clear…..either you do nothing and wait for luck to be kind towards you or you can do something substantial and change your luck. Ultimately your life is what you make it. All you need is a wee bit of courage and loads of patience.
You come across different kinds of people in life. Some good, some normal, some crazy, some pretentious…..the one thing that is common among them all is that they’ve all got some opinions about you. Some might like you, some might envy you, some are obsessed with you…… and some absolutely hate you. No matter how nice you try to be towards them, it just doesn’t matter and you wonder……”WHY?”…did I give them any wrong impressions or did i offend them? Some promise to always have your back and yet during testing times they are the ones who stab you in the back. Ultimately what matters is what you think of yourself and how you deal with all the criticism around you. You can choose to get depressed and sulk in a corner or you can muster up some courage and take all your issues head on.
Sometimes you wish you could revisit your childhood…….back then things were so much simpler. You didn’t have to worry about your career,job prospects, pay scale, having that someone special in your life, dividing your time between friends and family. Back then you didn’t have any pre-conceived notions about life. You just took each day as it came.You lived in the present without worrying much about the future. Your favourite ice-cream or toy would make you happy….the point is you were content with little. Now that you are all grown-up, there is no end to your wants and desires. You want to outdo the others around you. Simple things are not suffice for you…..you want the best of everything. There’s nothing wrong in wanting the best but wanting the best without working towards achieving it, is simply unacceptable.
Failure is not a sin.The sad part is that at times our near and dear ones fail to understand this....the defeated one is treated like a criminal.Sometimes i wonder.....our whole lives are nothing but just a continuous process of trying to fulfill the expectations of everyone around us and after a certain point of time it just gets so very cumbersome.I guess the most important thing is to keep trying without worrying too much about the results and above all to remain positive and never lose hope coz' it ain't over till it's over.
