Life's never been a smooth sail, probably had it been so there would not have been so much fun and charm in living it. I could not realize that just when a feeling of achievement had started sinking, somewhere in the vast ocean of life an unexpected tide of challenges had also started forming. The good part is it gave me some time to bask in the glory of my achievement and just when the sense of accomplishment started transforming into complacency a new challenge was there knocking on the doors.
The unfortunate part ( so would I say) of it was only on hindsight I could realize whether it was strength of some character that helped me come out with flying colours or an indicator of a tinge of weakness that I needed to work upon. Though this has been the case throughout my life but I just get a feel now that the subtle nuances in terms of circumstances have changed. While in the initial years I was oblivious of other options and hence kept on facing the challenges with such fervor as if the ultimate thing in life is to cross this Wall (read "challenge"). In contrast to this the current scenario always seems to present me with multiple options or so to say that I, a bit more mature, seem to have developed a broader perspective and hence always keep trying to evaluate one with another.
A bit confused: which scenario is better because though the later gives me a breather by providing me choices but at the same time the pursuit of it does not have the passion, adequately present in the earlier scenarios. The consequence is a half hearted attempt and hence even a positive result is half enjoyable compared to the earlier ones.
I am still struggling to find an answer which at least I would not debate with my own self. But I have realized that things which are easily accomplished do not give you as much pleasure as hard fought ones. Taking cue from the above as well from the line I recently read in a client signature “I will pass thru this world but once, let me know do all good and shower all virtues that I can to the people.” I am trying to come to the conclusion…this if my life does not face any further twist.
