Augmenting
the Bad.
Are we always positive? Are there only negative sides to situations
that are not in our favour? Are we as humans only intended to be happy with are
predetermined perspective towards the outcomes in our lives? I intend not to
change perspective with this article, I just want to analyse situations in my
own life and figure out whether the situations which were termed negative by me
or were not in my favour had a brighter side to it or were plainly bad
junctures.
So let’s start with the most crucial event of my life, the day when we have to
select the professional course for our life. The schooling was over and the
results were out. I wasn’t an exceptional student but I made a point to end my
schooling with a bang, I passed with some exceptional marks way beyond my
schooling average. The time had come; the decision was to be made about my
career, the field I would take as my profession. Being born in a family where
medical profession was preponderant I has great palate for medicines, in back
of my mind I wanted to peruse a medical metier. But there was a catch, being
born in family full of doctors I was quickly made aware of the difficulties and
the challenges that I would face if I pursue it, and not to mention the fact
that there was a sigh of disbelief over my abilities when the atrocities given
by the medical profession were taken into consideration. So finally I was
suggested to take up career counselling and look at other possible alternatives
to be taken up as my career choice. Commerce was one of them, not to mention my
bitter haltered for it at that time as I was always a kid that hated numbers.
But after a lot of brainstorming and brainwashing I eventually decided to take
up the field. So at that point this situation was termed as negative by me, as
I had liking for medicine, but was the decision that bad if I consider that
decision today is a matter of fact. The obvious answer is NO, I never repent
about that decision. Though initially it was a bit difficult to accept, but as
on this day I really thing the decision made me grow in a better way in my
life, gave me such experience that were unsung to my life if I had been in
medicine. This day I firmly believe that there are various paths in our lives,
paths with different probabilities, and those probabilities are the ones which
will make us evolve as human beings. It can be anything like falling in love
for the first time or making mistakes for the first time, meeting some people
in course of that path that make your life foster.
Selecting this path taught me one simple lesson, it’s perfectly fine to take up
thing that we haven’t planned for, things that are beyond our usual course of
likings; we can always learn and cherish the memories and lessons that life
bestows upon us.
So getting into commerce was a gamble that paid off, but there are some
decisions where things are at stake where gambling is a risk and the payoffs
are so uncertain. An explicit decision has to be taken, decision that can make
great alterations in life. Like ending a strangled relationship or starting a
new one. As humans we are characterized by high level of social activity, we
are by our self people oriented; wanting people to be around us and to share
and express our emotions. So the most important decisions are regarding people.
Lately in our life we realize that there are few people whom we cherish, the
reliable ones, and the people who understand you the best and are always there
for you no matter how grave the situation is. But change is the only constant thing
in life; those reliable ones will not be the one you can rely upon any longer.
So what should we do hold upon the strangles for a long time or just let it go,
a hard accord to make especially when the person means a lot to us. So my
decision was always to leave the reigns of the relation and let it go, the
basic logic behind this is the emotional comfort that the relationship used to
provide before has departed. Now the fact that most of us face is not the
cessation of relationship but the change that the cessation has bought in our
life. I would rather suggest to rather not think about the change, God will
never take chances with our lives, if there is vacuum created it has to be
filled. Life is not a thing that would revolve around some people; we always
need to explore new personalities. So if I evaluate my decision about
absconding some people in my life, did I go wrong somewhere? Maybe sometimes, I
feel I could have done a bit more efforts to restore my relationship, but am I
really downcast by the overall outcome of such decisions? My answer will always
be NO, such tough decisions gave me a prospect to be promulgating from my niche
and explore.
So at the end, your life is probabilities of the decisions of you take in the
course of your life. But it is always imperative to remember just the basic
premise of life that is to evolve, evolve as a person, as a human. Always be a
person who values life, values the laws of nature. It’s fine to be a goal
oriented person, it’s fine to be materialistic, but it’s always good to
remember that life passes by as we are on are on the way towards our goals,
success will be nothing if we don’t augment in our life. Live like how nature
has designed us to live, free from reigns of being stereotypical and with
innate ability to explore the life.
