destiny and a unique life story!

Many of us graduated from the same business school and when I meet some of my friends and peers, it does get immensely tempting to compare my life's progress with theirs. At points like these, where I have been struggling for months to find a job despite positively believing that I am an extremely talented guy, the question becomes almost obvious, "why me?"

Now, that's what I have been thinking about since last night when I got very disturbed. I believe in destiny and unique life stories.

Our lives, no matter how closely connected we may be, are completely distinct. Everything that happens in response to our work on our goals is different, goals may be the same. That's destiny or the TAP at work. There is nothing that I can do about it.

I must accept what happens to me as a part of my life story. Reasons will never be given. They are for me to interpret. MY LIFE cannot be compared to that of Jitu or Varun or Varun or Pranay for that matter. They are of course examples to drive the point.

My life will take its own course and regardless of what happens, I will be the one driving that course.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


Invictus


I shall fight
With all my might
till I drop dead
battling without fear
.

I am and I will be
till my last breath
a warrior.


amar!

"There is a difference between interest and commitment. When you are interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstances permit.

When you are committed to something you accept no excuses only results."

Passion!

The 3 Cs of Passion:-

Captivating

more convincing than logic and reason. More convincing than anything else.

The Strength of the human spirit! My heroes!




There have been times in my life when life hit me pretty hard! There have been times when I was tempted to just give up! These days I am being tested yet again.

But then, who am I to give up?! Do I think that I am suffering the most? What makes me think so. There have been and there still are innumerable people who are facing insurmountable odds and fighting with life day and night!

When I think of them, it gets easier to leave the bed and face consciousness again and....fight! The 3 people in this post continue to inspire me to never never never give up.

Helen Keller was born a normal child. At 19 months of age, she encountered an illness that left her blind and deaf. She lived, wrote and spoke about the glory of life till she died at 87. I salute your spirit, Helen.

If Nick Vujicic can gather the courage to rise and fight, without hands, without legs, well, so can I!

If Nelson Mandela can spend 27 years in a prison cell and emerge to lead a nation, well, who am I to wince!

The human spirit is powerful. It's strong beyond all imagination. Them, my heroes.

I will fight till I breathe my last!

Fear!

'I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there ..."

Now, I am absolutely sure that the father of all negative emotions is fear. Most human beings are scared! Scared of what?! Scared of being without money, scared of dying, scared of social pressures, scared of everything!

The most important human quality which sets successful people apart is courage. It's not the smart that win in the real world, it's the BOLD.

Although, I think that I am a fearless man, I need to convince myself more of being fearless. Conquer over Fear. Conquer over life!

keep searching!

There is so much to do and there is so much to find!

my keep series:-

KEEP Searching
Learning
Working

By the way, another thing that needs to be done is to buy all works of Ayn Rand, Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Victor Hugo and read them!
