All happenings are inputs that shape the ultimate good.
Things are happening for a reason. It is a common slogan that is easy to hear but hard to digest. Things are going against our wishes and dreams. Hopes are diminishing. Well-wishers are doubting our capabilities.
We understand that all sunsets are followed by sunrises. But who is ready to bear the hours of darkness in between? We remain stuck in dark phobia. We can’t deny the absence of sunlight in those moments. One thing has to repeat in our senses: sunshine has to reappear after a while. It is patience that gives strength to all of us to welcome darkness as a phenomenon.
Apart from the above example, our own perceptions about the dimensions of our lives also vary widely. We design up and up, and the moment a small fall occurs, we get frustrated. Some people assume they are too smart to be defeated under any circumstances.
Action is fully in our hands, not the end result. When we have no firm belief in our ability to perform, we are taking action halfheartedly. The problem lies here.
We are not isolated figures who are suffering at some stages. Just look right and left, and we will find many people suffering more extensively than us.
Rising after falling gives a higher level of energy than not coming under the adverse grip. In many instances, people have found ultimately good, though happenings were akin to dashing all hopes.
We judge everything quickly. We attribute all our happiness to outcomes. These are grave errors. Let others judge the outcome. Learn to enjoy the process ourselves. Moving towards a goal is more enjoyable than touching the final point itself.
Say, in a play, a player misses the goal. It does not mean he or she has lost everything. The player has learned a lot in the process of pushing the ball towards the goal. Next time, this experience may contribute favourably.
It may take years to regain our glory. Such instances are countless. It is time to redesign our own strategies and strike. Always follow the rule of changing the strategies but not the targets when failures recur.
