It has amazed me now and again what happens to us sometimes! It is at that moment when you end up thinking what the hell am I doing with my life? It is then when we start doubting ourselves that have we lost what we were actually. Let’s dive in.
CONFIDENCE :
We often get that ‘not having achieved significantly’ feeling and then again there are times when we look around and find out that we are better than many. There are moments when one feels very strongly somewhere deep inside that all will be good. We tend to visualize things even adding many idealistic elements to our imagination midway. This part of our Life is called Being Confident.
VULNERABILITY :
Next morning, someone, you always were standing next to achieves something and you start feeling too small in front of the heights your so good friend before the achievement is touching. Moments later, even before we realize, thoughts that we were stupid enough to not have achieved the same start creeping in . All of a sudden from somewhere deep inside a gush of guilt, regret or helplessness and frustration starts flowing. With it the gush carries things which cause sleepless nights. This part of our life is called Vulnerability.
THE CONSEQUENCE :
When we are vulnerable our prospects change. There is a drive inside us that makes us pledge things. At that point of time the level of Confidence we carry is more than enough of what you need to challenge Barack Obama openly. But then there is a drug that is missing . The drug that is supposed to add fuel to the drive. Even before we actually complete painting the canvas of our imagination, let alone putting in the efforts, our drive starts to subside. We still paint the canvas because it is a means of comfort. We keep on Using the beauty of language and literature, some smart arrangement of words in the form of motivational quotes or likewise and our art is ready for display on our walls.
The TEST :
Well so powerful are some random arrangement of words that once you come across them, you start getting exponentially mesmerized by their charm with time, floating out in the vacuum, gradually sinking and experiencing bliss. Our body starts releasing hormones. We feel the heat inside and this heat melts away the rationale toppings of our brain and the ‘vulnerable virtual self’ starts believing that the long lost drug has been found. However, this drug even if hanged on a wall overtime so that it is the first thing that you see every morning still loses it’s fueling power and the flames start dying again. We again collapse while our used to be friend moves on. This Part of our life is The Test.
So What Happened to Us ?
So that Leaves us with the question what went wrong? I have often been wondering over what this phenomenon exactly was and what went wrong every time causing frustration, anxiety, depression and the biggest enemy doubt. This Part of my life, I call as ‘Realization’. It dawned on me that I was lacking something and this something is called DESIRE . PASSION . WILLINGNESS with EFFORT. The ACT.
…………Because only dreams are not enough. It is the effort that counts !
While others dream of success, Winners wake up and work hard to achieve it.
