Is This What You Were Made For?Do not feel mesmerised and awestruck when looking at successful individuals around. Do not study them at the zenith of their career, but at the point when they were just somebody with no name, no fame, no performance---with nothing impressive. Do you think what you are doing in your life is precisely what you were born for? Have you really come to understand you cannot go any farther than where you have got settled, breathless, and have ultimately surrendered? Is this accurately what your destiny is you seem prone to accept and have embraced it in the long run? Or do you think you can still run, endeavor and strive for what is not yet achieved? Answering to all such questions may apparently seem difficult a job, but in reality, it is not. It is easy-- only if you are honest enough. Honesty here means your being able to attend that iota of pricking of conscience which surely takes place when you are not satisfied with what you have compromised under social pressure or being timid or sluggish a person. If you think I will now offer you a couple of brilliant examples of those who came up with revolutionary ideas, took courageous and fearless steps which lead them to a much prosperous life, you are wrong, as I sincerely do not have any intention to inspire someone like you who have already deliberately closed their eyes on all what has been changing the lives of millions on earth. I would rather congratulate you on making your mark on the world like all those 'champions' who preferred to always 'play safe' and, hence, remained cocooned in their own shells, never daring to try for the fear of failure. In present day world of uncertainty, a very delicate economy and incalculably great number of misfortunes, it becomes even more sensible and wiser an approach that you should play very safe. By taking risk you may end up with bankruptcy, which is just another name for suicide or death. No my dear, what you are at the moment and "all" what you have is not what you were made for. And now let me not be satirical anymore, and let me not be didactic at the same time, since I am well aware of your egoistic side as well. What is to be conveyed here most unassumingly is that this short-term, transitory life happens to be just a single chance you have landed here to avail. No one is bothered if you lose it. You have been bestowed upon with miraculous hidden powers. Your will-power is bigger than mountains when at work; bear in mind, all high achievers have turned out to be high riskier in this world, who truly maneuvered their fear of failure and ultimately became what they had desired at the start of their journey. All spectacularly successful individuals and groups were once at loss with no resources and no powers to foresee the future. So when you look at them, do not study them at the peak of their progress, but at the point when they were just nothing, neither in their own eyes nor in the eyes of the world. Without taking risk you can certainly live a reasonably happy life, but can never create something new. You cannot make your mark on the world. Do not feel scared of the unknown as it becomes a major source of fear.Do ponder over the pros and cons of what you will do, you can do, but avoid too much speculation, as it harms human resolution and will power.
