Musings of a pondering mind - 2
There are times in life when you wonder why everything is going against you. Some believe that the universe is conspiring against them. Some believe that once you make a decision, the universe will conspire to make it happen. Pessimists versus optimists, you think?
I have come to believe that it's all up to you. If you want it to happen, you strive hard to make it happen. If you want it to work, then you make it work. You put your efforts, give your all and then wait for the outcome. You cannot just sit in a place and let the universe decide or make it happen for you. If it is your decision to do something in a certain way then you don't have to blame anybody else if it goes wrong. You take up responsibility and do something about it to fix it. The blame cannot be put on the universe or the society or the people around you. This is the thing about life..to learn from your mistakes. You should learn from your mistakes and not blame anybody else. People in your life can help you make decisions, show you the path or advice you about it..but ultimately it's your decision.
And there are times when everything is confusing. When you don't know what to do. When things are uncertain. That is probably the toughest of times. To me, it is as if I'm walking on a thin wall where there is darkness below on both sides of the wall. You don't know if there is burning lava or cool blue sea on either side. There are two things that can happen : either you slip and fall or jump. The result is unknown until you take the plunge or trip by mistake.
Hope is all we can think of at this point. That beacon of light from above which shows you everything that is below. When there is clarity, there is better understanding and hence, a better judgement will be the outcome. What I believe is, that the beacon of light will come. It may take time, a lot of time. But it will come. And when it does, you will know what to do. And until then, the best course would be, to tread lightly!
Because, patience is truly a virtue!
