When we are born, we have no answers to where, who, what and how we came into this world. When we grow, we want answers to all those questions ... we want to be RECOGNISED!..
To simply put, today while I went shopping...I saw a stunning dress, I liked it and I had my cheque ready to pay. Within a fraction of second, I changed my mind, I saw another dress, and I said why not this? I dropped the one on my hand and picked this instead. End of Story? No...How can a story end without a moral?
I came back home and tried the one I had just picked and loved it but I was not happy with the fit. Perhaps I should have stuck onto the one that I saw first which was less expensive and the I kept thinking on and on. Then I ended up wearing something really old from my wardrobe to go out and when I returned, I was disappointed, because I had originally planned something and it did not turn out the way I had wanted. So is it anybody's fault but mine. Why did I change my mind?
I don't know, maybe I wanted more, maybe I desired more, maybe I was not content. Why are we complicating our lives so much? Maybe my shopping example is trivial, but the fact is we humans are constantly in a rat's race, we always want more of what is required or beyond limits. Yes, we all are in a competitive working environment, we want to top the charts always. We want promotions, recognitions, blah blah,... the best iPAD, the best car..the best of everything..but in the end, if we don't get any of what we "WANT", we are disheartened. It's not wrong to WANT, but when WANT overshoots the borderline, time for a reality check. Only do what is within your purview. Never stretch beyond your control, you might end up not stretching but stressing.
