Walk on..

It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time -Winston Churchill

And so I believe. I have spent days pondering on the what-next's. Sapping myself of all the enthusiasm and energy in the bargain. Only to stare at the ceiling blankly at the end of the day. I am sure, all of us go through this phase, some consistentnly, others - once in a while. Past few months have been testing. In all the possible areas. And managed to push me to the lowest ebb I have ever been at. Where everything seems stagnant, non-existent in an existential way. Empty. And I was wondering what next. There were so many things on my platter to take care of. But nothing, absolutely nothing seemed important than giving my own self some time off. How much, my mind asked. I don't know, I said, all I know is I need to find a way out. To what, it asked again, I don't know - I said, everything is a question mark and I am yet to unravel the content and cause of such discontent. You are fooling yourself, it told me; You are impatient basically and a victim of peer pressure. I said, peer pressure? Hell, there is none.. It has been ages since I even went out with my friends; I don't even know what anyone of them is doing at the moment. Exactly, Mind said, you don't want to go out to the world, you are harbouring a prejudice against your own self. you are impossible, I barked back, how can I hold a prejudice against my own self?

Hell you are, it continued. What stops you from going out, from being happy - atleast content, from looking at the improvements you have undergone rather than looking at things you are yet to achieve, from being thankful for having reached till here, for trusting that the journey is a long one and so it may just be the beginning or the mid, but surely not the end (someone said if it is not happy, then it is not the end, Mind winked at me). I can tell you a hundred things that are right at the moment, it continued, can you give me a hundred that are no so right with you right now?, and I started counting .. 1, 2, 3, 4... at the most 5.. apart from these, I was the most luckiest, I thought, and for a moment, I grinned ear to ear. I answered, I cannot give you 100, but I have 5 of them handy. Mind said, great, and are those consistently there or are there any additions/ substractions? I said, no, I think these are the only ones, I will be really happy if I can get these resolved.

And so it said, at the moment, 95% of your life is the way you love to have it.. and 100% of your conscious attention goes in thinking about the other 5%.. What kind of math is that, my friend? Hmmm.. good question, I said, I'll think about it.

Mind said, one meets his destiny often in the road he takes to avoid it, so, listen to your self and do not be afraid to tread the untrodden path. Having said that, wise make decisions, fools take risk, so know the difference between the two and walk on.

Walk on, walk on



What you got they can't steal it


No they can't even feel it


Walk on, walk on...
