Am i left behind...yet again?

Whatever happens to us is our responsibility. Like Goosebumps' series of multiple endings, in real life too we choose our own endings. Sometimes we read swiftly, while some times we go slowly.

I have been a slow and steady player in this game called Life. Every time people have sprinted ahead, I have consoled myself by saying “slow and steady wins the race". And then came a moment when I leaped forward. That’s when I tasted the sweet Victory. I experienced being the fastest in the race! Now that life has taken a slower lane, I do not like it.

People say that the modern day life (kalyug) is a rat race....a blind rat race. We are running with our eyes closed. I am one of those fortunate ones to have found the way to open my eyes. But still I prefer closing them at times! Shame on me for that! Out of millions of souls residing on Earth, a pinch of them learn what is the true purpose in life. And a grain out of that pinch of sand makes the amount of people who actively start their journey to practice opening their eyes to reality. I have been one of those very few people. Shame on me if I still digress from the correct path!

PHEW!!! Heavy stuff ya?? I don’t know if you understood what I meant. In simple words, I meant, I at times start focusing on things that don’t matter in Life. Like ego, money, fame, appreciation from others, acceptance by people in power (including parents and teachers)! If I know that most of the people don’t realise that it is LOVE that fuels life, then why should I even bother getting acknowledgement from then? Why should I think of getting married to a rich American? Why should I fret that my near and dear ones don’t understand me?

I am unique. I know what I want from life and I know how to get there. I need to work hard!!! And keep doing good for others so that I can reap the benefits of my good deeds in guise of proper education and protection from evil and harm. Yet at times, I let my anxiety/fear of the unknown come in my way. Those who uphold strong faith have all their prayers answered. I KNOW I will be victorious! I will get what I want. So what if it comes later than expected. I know everything happens for a reason and I will get what I want only when I truly deserve it!

There is no race going on...... no one is left behind..... :)
