I do not intend to add humor in what I say, as I talk of an entity so unpredictable that it borders on the verge of being funny by itself. An entity called Life. The topic I have chosen to express my views is Resolve: The essence of Life.
Optimism is just an affair with realism. Where all is well till you are focused and determined, but the relation goes awry with adultery of unreasonable ambition. However there are a few who justify their rendezvous with that, not accepted by all in the society, these are the likes of Katara’s, Lal’s and Mattoo’s.
The horn blowing, self proclaimed societal villains here are the spoiled BMW driving young brats, kids of politicians and the uber rich. For all those in the life of mere mortals the life is a challenge. Thus, in a world that’s changing every second, growing every minute and falling, only to resurrect every once in a while, men and women have recognised a vital rule for living. The rule states: to live up to the challenge of every moment, you need to live up the moments in every challenge.
There are those in the world jumping in front of trains due to failure in love, exams, businesses or purely publicity hungry siblings of honourable Rakhi Sawant. However there are those too that take this failure, dejection and disappointment as the stepping stone to the next level of performance, the saga of Mr. Amitabh Bachhan is a living testimony to this relentless effort to succeed. However there is another level where result driven endeavours cease.
At such moments we see the rise of individuals who etch their names on pages of history.
A frail Mohandas when stood against the mighty British was the one immortalised with the title of Mahatma. When the black man called Dr. King stood firm against the atrocities meted out to his brethren, the whites went further pale in colour. Poverty, illness, destitution and several other human impediments could not stop the saintly Teresa from stoping work for those she cared for. It wasn’t their being the unfavoured at any moment which diluted their resolve for achieving the goals in sight.
A proof of the fact that to achieve what may appear as a mirage, all you need to do, is envisage.
The life today that we live, is a life where learning is tough and the going tougher. In such an environment its imperative to to have a resolve that withers the storms with resilience. Be it the living God Tendulkar, or the immortal Dhyanchand, they have all had resolve of steel.
To achieve heights in life one need not have vastness of land owned, but expanse of a heart that cares. It is not important to have a bank balance that cant be counted, but well wishers who say countless prayers for you. For all of this it need not be that you make an effort that unreasonable, but are able to reason when your fellow brethren are afraid to do so.
Life is collection of events that leads one to repeatedly question, what does it take to be successful, and the answer: A Resolve
