Life !! Is it just what our thoughts and actions make it or is it predetermined??
Quite a hackneyed question…but does make sense when you are going crazy inside your mind – now that clearly states the state of mind in which I am typing this :)
There are times when nothing seems to be going right – career, relationships, social life( mine is non- existent though) etc …but then doesn’t all those self help books says that- when it is darkest, dawn is just minutes away…well being an insomniac I would say- dawn is just minutes away when you can hear the birds chit-chatting – ohh I mean chirping of course.
Why is there a need to constantly prove yourself to your family, relatives, friends, peer group – right from getting into a good college to bagging a good job and finally a nice spouse ( although I personally don’t know how nice is actually “nice”) Don’t we sometimes get too lost in this race to proving ourselves to the standards of others that we actually forget why we even got into doing something. The purpose, the-so-called-set goals get dissolved rather hazed in the race of standing up to every1’s expectations.
That what I believe pressure is, the competition which starts somewhere between you and some else, or you and life or a list of Have- to-accomplish-before-dying.
I believe if we can just leave those pressures – moving ahead, fighting on, chasing your dreams, embracing failure/setbacks becomes more easier and
Life – it just gets more livable.
