Perhaps it is an irony, that men often fail to identify the passion of his life. For they become so busy running after what they think as the “most important thing” in their life. Friends, think again. Ain’t not the passion that you cherish deep in your heart be the most important thing? And yet again, ain’t that be the most brutally suppressed wish that you carry in your heart? I say, yes.
Often as we run about, striving to do something for our survival, we forget that if we but try, the stressful fight for survival can very well be replaced by the design and development of our own future. I had days when I used to push the day through, work hard like a donkey and at the end of the day, think back and sigh. oh yes, there will always be a “wish”. I would wish, oh god, why cannot you give me a better life? why should I ear all this load?
As I shifted my focus from struggle for survival to a constant and methodological approach to design my life, I quickly started feeling the difference. There was one hell of a difference between living your life as your decision and living your life at the whim of someone you may never even know. There is a undefinable thrust which makes you feel that you are in command of your own life. Guys, if that is not freedom, what is it? if life is not lived like that, why on earth should we live?
Once I received an sms. I said like this. ” A cause to live for should be a cause to die for!” No, I am not talking about Naxalism or Communism. I am talking about the very cause for which one lives. People lives for the family, for sustaining a relation, for the sake of surviving, and what not.. What is pleasure in living, and living on and on if we be any Tom,Dick or Harry? If we leave no trace of our own existence, if we leave no footprints on the sands of our times, will it make any difference if he never lived? I think not.
The days we are living now, are toughest of days and the most crucial of the times. These are days of problems. It do be designed that only the toughest survive, and the only the best excel. I say, with every problem, there comes an opportunity. An opportunity to prove that you stand amongst the best.
Perhaps you may think, this be the drivel of a loser or a man who lost his marbles. If you think so, so be it. But I should say, I’m not gonna lay down my weapons before putting up a good fight.
As it is said, If this is to be my end, I’ll make it such an end which is worthy of remembrance.
