If anyone
were to ask me, how many times I've been sure about something in the 21 years
of my life; I would perhaps put a single digit to it. Well, I cannot be sure of
that too. That’s how human minds work; they are the most fickle.
Yes or no? Right
or wrong? Do I or do I not? Should I or should I not? These questions take more
time to be answered than a science theory takes to be discovered. We would
probably ask for the opinion of our family members and friends, if we aren't
too self-enterprising in nature. Some would give their honest opinion without
being prejudiced or biased; however that wouldn't suit us fine. We would still
brood over It, open a number of search engines In our minds and work on It until
one of the infinite answers satisfy us.
Well, I have
no reason to believe there is an escape route to this. The only way to know is
to take a chance and see the upshot yourself. Taking chances does scare you, doesn't It? Remember for good, in the end you will only regret the chances you didn't take. I learn my chief lessons of life from my father. He once told me,
“I would prefer you being wrong than confused. I would prefer you to be the one
taking chances rather than being fearful of them. I would prefer you being me”.
This one lesson gave me enough of a jolt to break my stride into being what I've fought
against all my life; being confused.
Henceforth, I
have decided to stick to one thing; to stop running around looking for answers
elsewhere other than within me. In all probability I will be wrong. I may miss
out on something by sticking to a decision. However, the lessons I will learn on
the path of being wrong, I will skip on the path of being confused (safe). It is
not a blanket of safety that one should desire. Security equals complacency and
complacency equals boredom. Make it your first order of business not to be
bored.
Thus, this
state of mind is a state of art, bequeathed to every Individual of every caste,
of every colour. So keep it as an asset, untouched and gradually form your own
resolved state of mind, that which you can bequeath to your generations to
follow.
The mind is our greatest asset. At times we have the belief that certain things are impossible and yes they will always remain that way unless you use your mind to convince yourself its achievable. When the mind is convinced of what you really want....the universe eventually finds a way. The leap of faith is like the first step to it. I hope henceforth you'll really have faith in your abilities. Remember, your mind is a magnet, you attract what you think - positive or negative.
