A day that started with hopes and promises soon spiralled down into an endless abyss, knocking me down. As I started to walk towards my favorite spot, chaos of the day started giving way to the calmness of night. Away from the nuances of daily life, it offered much needed solitude to me. Usually. But not today. It seemed as if everything there was mocking me. The serene climate.. Calmness.. Occasional breeze that soothed me.. Bright moon... Everything there stands quite contrast to the turmoil inside me... Frustrated I lean back against the trunk of the tree, that shared lots of memories with me. Both happy and sad. As I close my eyes, I could see my entire life before me. Every step I took.. Every word I spoke.. Every relation of mine.. Every misfortune.. Conspired to bring me to this moment..
"Bow down before me, you can never win". Fate's voice echoed.
Having no more strength to fight anymore I started giving up. Soul wrenching pain made my entire life flash before me. Beyond the pain.. There was a tiny flicker of light.. As the pain became more intense.. I could see the brightness clearly. And then there was nothing but unbearable brightness.. No more pain.. But pure joy. I could see myself more clearly now.
"No more giving up" I roared.. In delight!
It made me realise that you need pain sometimes to give you happiness. Not in masochistic way. But the pain of failure teaches who you are.. And the fact that you have nothing more left to loose will make you take risks you were scared of taking before. And that's all you need.. To find yourself again.
Success is never a destination. Neither is life. Its a journey. To discover urself.. To get lost and to rediscover yourself. Again and again. To bear pain and to fight it back, to stand victorious!!
