“He who has a why
to live for can bear almost any how.”
Yes people, for this is a free country
(debates aside) and I have a blog, so will write.
"But wait,you are gonna be in your third year,isn't it too
early to pop the big question to your life?"
"Hell no! If not , I am already late!"
Dealing with life is not an easy task, admitted. But for how long
can we go on saying,
"I want a break!"
or
"I just don't have it together now!"
By branding the fiercely competitive world around us today with
the demeaning term "rat race" and apparently not giving a damn about
it, one cannot downplay the fact that they are as much a part of it as anyone
else.
Bollywood may have its own fair share of flaws, but at times it's
able to churn up dialogues that actually stay with you. One such was during the
lovable movie "Jab We Met" when the heroine gives a candid advice to
the hero,
"Why hate the crowd when you are a part of it?"
It would do us all good if we take a break from scorning at the
obstacles life keeps throwing at us everyday and embrace them as challenges and
scopes for progress. Life is no doubt a struggle, but stay with Darwin's
principle, make yourself the fittest and survive with all the glory!
"All this may seem easy in theory, but do you get it all
right every time, Miss perfect" ?
"Sure i don't, but that doesn't deter me from dreaming
big"
"Hey, but hold on, sure when you are talking about a purpose,
where do dreams come in the picture?"
"Oh, they very much do!"
That is where the flaw in our thinking lies. When we try and
separate "Dreams" and "Purposes" as separate entities.
Dreams are essentially the precursors of our would-be-purposes in life. The
moment we talk about "Realizing a dream" , it is attaching something
concrete to it, or in other words, transcribing the dream into a wish for life
and then translating it into a purpose. (Central Dogma of life people :P ).
The saddest thing about imagination is - IT'S NOT REAL! One cannot
simply resort to taking refuge in our dreams for long. It may seem very nice
and comfortable visualizing the things we want in life from the comfortable
cocoon of our dreams. But only when we open those eyes and try to make it into
a reality, that it becomes something worthwhile. At the end of the day, if you
have been able to successfully overcome all the practical difficulties
associated with your dream and shape it into actuality, you are able to cherish
the sigh of a day well spent. We must all be cautious of the thin line that
demarcates when we dream with a purpose and when one simply day-dreams
aimlessly. Although day-dreaming has its own necessity (and that is not just
for the romantic buffs), too much of anything is bad in essence. And too much
of the latter will leave one with an aimless life, devoid of any meaning.
Howsoever, mundane day-today humdrum events of life may seem, but
as they say,
"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder "
Today will not be called a "present" if we let this gift
(Dialogue credits - "kung Fu panda : -D")
go waste by looking at it from a virtual perspective. There
shouldn't be any day that doesn't involve us making use of our full potential,
dreaming big and shaping a drive towards it by setting a purpose - for the
uninitiated, this is essentially self-motivation!
So take it gradual, take it slow - well take all the time you want
to finally figure it out - but it be a purpose that drives you to march ahead.
