Take a broader view of life - get back up
Saturday, April 18, 2009
Today I was observing some not so happy moments in my life. Thank god, there are very few such moments. I realized that a common thing that happened during those moments was that my thoughts were just so narrow and I was just seeing the very narrow part of my life and due to this the loss(cause of my sadness) seemed larger than my life. We hear about news of kids committing suicide due to board exams. Simply, stress leads to such incidents. For instance, when I had to leave my studies after 10th due to some personal problems, I used to be very sad at times thinking my aimbitions will never be achieved and dreams will never come true. Wasnt I stupid? Life is so great and a mere degree wasnt going to restrict me from acheiving great things. There are many people who have Masters degree but are very upset with what they are doing and what they have done.At the same time, there are great people who are ultra successful in their life and they did never go to college. I am sure if I was able to think a bit broad and see a larger view of life, I would have never been sad about loosing touch with my studies. The good thing that happened to me was my determination made me complete my degree finally which is definitely good to achieve. But, today i know that degree is a paper and a mere paper can not be a road to my success- it has to be something more deep within - my determination and attitude.So, I believe that no small problem can be larger than life. We all are humans and we have feelings which can sense loss. Its unavoidable to not be sad at all. But what we can do is try to broaden our thought horizon and see life with a bigger lense. Then we can see how small the problem is when compared to our life and there are so many beautiful sketches that we can make in the blank canvas of tomorrow and of the coming days to fade this small mark away. The key to success is to get back up each time you fall.
