This may be looking at life too
pessimistically, but life seems to be a series of things which are designed to
make us fail. It’s an obstacle course that’s designed by the Gods for
humans. One task after the other, and you have to go on and on and on.
Initially, you will keep sailing, keep flying. When you’re born, its things
like walking, or eating or even being toilet trained and everyone knows of these obstacles and they will help you jump over them. And each jump will be
accompanied by your fellow human applauding you. These jumps are considered to
be life events and yes, they are. They are the events in life when we have tried
and we have succeeded.
And there are entire elaborate
systems designed to make this a success. The entire school system is designed
to prepare someone for life’s challenges to be faced later on. And you know how
life imitates nature? School system is also a series of obstacles artificially
created so as to imitate life. Perhaps. But take these with a pinch of salt. These
are not the real ones.
And life is all about moving on.
Some of these challenges be really easy for you and really difficult for others
and sometimes things which others show as really simple become a challenge for
you.
Each journey is unique. While most
people will follow one path, others may not follow the same. And different
aspects of life may follow different paths. Your career maybe the most ordinary
one, but your personal life maybe a path that is not travelled oft. And vice
versa.
What is important that you keep
faith and keep moving. Do not get bogged down by the series of challenges
coming your way. It just means you are moving faster than others who are facing
lesser challenges. Each one will help you grow in some way and you may not realize
but it prepares you for something more in life.
So we should not give up. We should
keep going. The minute you chose to give up, and stay put at the next obstacle,
you will feel like you have arrived in life. You will think that life is easy
and without difficulties, but that is not how life is supposed to be. It mean
you have stopped moving forward.
