As time went by, I thought like any optimist that things would get better. Someday, things would surely improve. However, life has an interesting if not cruel way of reminding you that what goes around comes around. Things that I thought I had overcome in the past, have comeback to haunt me, again. I feel I am back to square one. But this time round, rather than feeling sorry for myself, I have decided to do take things and decisions in my own hands. If you don't take control of your life, life takes control of you. If you don't take decisions, life will take them for you, whether you like them or not. So rather than letting something else guide my destiny or letting something else rule my being, I wish to take charge and move forward.
Back then, I would look for acknowledgement and approval but today I don't. I know that I am right, I know that I am capable enough of doing things on my own. So why should I hold back and feel bad for myself? Each day in our life, presents a certain challenge. Therefore, each day we only have two options, either we can face the challenge or we can run away or shy from it. It's like a crossroad everyday. The path you choose will recreate and carve out your destiny. It's like a tree being built. Each path is like a branch of the tree. But where the leaf that symbolizes our goal appears will depend on the path the branches took. If only we let our faith and our judgement decide which path we want to take, I think any goal is achievable. I have let my demons take control of my thoughts and actions so far. I have found ways to console myself that maybe this is what destiny holds for me and this is all that life has to offer me. But now, I will not let things happen the way they have been happening. I will not let anything worry me. I will take each challenge that life throws at me and will rise up to the occasion and confront it head on! No time for beating round the bush or hiding behind pathetic and thin veils of excuses, of why I can or cannot do something. I will do because I can....
