When we want something with all our heart, that's when we are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force. This force drives us towards our goals and gives us enough scope to achieve them. But there are certain facts that should be cleared before following them blindly and to avoid the misconceptions. I believe the only way through which we can reach the zenith of our ambitions and goals is to be first crystal clear about them!
In our heart and soul we should be very clear about what we want and it should not be subject to any kind of conditions; One has to be firm enough whether they want it to make it happen or not and if thats your mission, then there should be no turning back. There is no doubt that every goal is like a voyage in the turbulent ocean and it is full of storms and tempting smooth sails in towards safe harbors. You may have to sacrifice a lot of things/moments/relationships on your way forward and to get enough strength on how to overcome it; I believe following are the essentials:
Commitment
Personal responsibility
Honesty
Determination
These traits guide us through thick n thin. They are the parameters which help us take decisions and identify what is important. I don’t know about others but whatever I have “really” wanted in my life and had invested my efforts into knowingly or unknowingly, have always achieved it, then may be i was not in a position to accept it but yes if you put sufficient efforts then the soul of this world which is still a positive force will help you. There is a force whose mission is to guide us towards our goals and realize our dreams.
We often worry about the consequences of the actions we undertake. And yes it is necessary to give it a thought till some extent. But over investment of resources where they are not required is also not a good deal.
I would like to share a passage of a story from the Alchemist involving a great Seer and a farmer which I found worth sharing:
There was a farmer who always was too keen in knowing the future. One day, the oldest Seer, the farmer had ever sought out had asked why he was so interested in the future. Then Farmer said.. Well so I can do things, "And so I can change those things that I don't want to happen."
"But then they wouldn't be a part of your future," the seer had said.
Farmer replied "Well, maybe I just want to know the future so I can prepare myself for what's coming."
"If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the Seer. "If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."
So with this I would like to conclude my write up about our ambiguities we face in life regarding taking decisions for future or crimping about our past. The ball is always is in out court and even if it is beyond our visions (that may also turn out as an opportunity for new horizons.)
We can't always WIN and we can't loose every time as well. Winning is a life time journey which is full of adventures and misadventures. Whenever you start an adventurous journey you just have to move ahead with all the good and bad experiences. The ultimate goal is to complete the journey and interestingly you don't know what your destination is. It's upon you when you decide that your adventure is over and you completed it successfully. And, there you WON.
