Converting disadvantages into advantages
We count troubles while drawing a path to accomplish some goals or missions. Knowing the drawbacks is a must for executing a plan successfully. But giving it up simply because of so many troubles is a sign of a timid person who is in search of an easy cake. No walk is easy. We have to face crowds, criticism, competition, confusion, callosity, climate, and customers, regardless of our pursuits, every day, no matter where we are.
Disadvantages are many, and they are visible, but advantages are usually invisible, and they need to be uncovered. Disadvantages are like one side of a coin, and therefore we must see the other side to know what can be done to make things happen. We generally take shallow views and decide that it is beyond our reach.
We are away from home. It has disadvantages. When we make our careers, it is an advantage. We face all sorts of troubles while visiting a historical place. When we look at structures, catching a glimpse of what we read in school, our understanding is largely improved. People in general count time, money, and inconvenience, and they leave future plans unfulfilled.
In any endeavour, gain and sacrifice go together. When we are reluctant to invest, it is not possible to harvest a good reward.
Never say, It is not possible," without examining the details of possibilities. What is impossible today will be made possible by the people next in line. Decades ago, it was not possible to send this article to readers thousands of miles away from the city of its writing just by a finger touch. Thus, the possibilities are endless. Side by side, humans curiosity is also beyond measure, and all results are before us. We are born to explore, not to deplore what is missing as per our own scheme of things as of now.
Nature is asking mankind to explore and make life on this globe better than what we have today. In this process, we have to unearth advantages rather than count our troubles. Counting barriers is common sense, but finding the means to overcome those barriers demands incremental use of our mental power.
Don’t say the project is too big to execute. Rather, take teeny steps and see how things unfold and how barriers and obstacles show the way.
Great works are performed not because of the availability of resources but because of the competence of the people involved. A student counts on constraints and fails to take a big leap in life. It is a common observation. It happens in all walks of life.
There are many blessings around all of us, but we don’t consider their importance as they are available effortlessly. We count all the odds, some real and the majority unreal, and finally no ideas come to their minds. We remain stuck, even for life.
Take advantage of our anxiety. We are anxious because we are eager for something that is still not within our grasp. We feel exhausted. Okay. Just dedicate more energy and attention and see how miracles happen. Disadvantages are to attract us with the epitome, "The possibility is hidden in this box." Open the box and find our dream of life.
There are many stories in the lives of all of us, but we repeatedly forget our own innate power and give space to "disadvantages" in our minds just to be stagnant for a long time for no valid reasons.
