Destiny is something that everyone of us has blamed at one point or the other during our lives.Even i used to do it,but now i have realised something.Everything that happens to us depends on the choices we make.All along the way,fate asks us certain questions.The way we choose decide where we will end up.In the Harry Potter series,Professor Dumbledore once said,
"Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory."
The important point here is having to make a choice between what is right and what is easy.And this one decision decides what a person will become.There are two ways of living your life.Either you base your decision on what is right for you,what you really want,what will keep you happy.Or you think about the way people will react to your actions and do what you think will please them.
As far as i believe,the first way is the right way o live your life.this way,even if something goes wrong,you can proudly say that you did what you wanted,and you will do your best to work out the tough situations in life,because you have faith in your decision.However,more often than not people choose to live their lives according to the expectations of others.They choose to do what makes others happy,instead of doing what would make them happy.But the moment people choose this path in life,they expose themselves to a very great danger.They will end up compromising in their lives,they will never realise their full potential,sacrificing their happiness,settling for the next best thing when they could have listenedto their hearts and had gone that extra mile to attain total happiness.They'll end up being moderate when they could have achieved greatness.
And then one day,standing in front of the mirror,they'll look into their own eyes,see the sadness hidden in them,and realise where they could have been if they had listened to their hearts instead of listening to others.They will realise this one day and after that day,they'll never be happy again.The make believe world they have created for themselves will come crashing down.But it takes courage to accept this,and most of them wouldnt have that sort of courage in them.
They'll say to themselves that it isn't their fault that they are not happy.Its what destiny had in store for them.Its in their fate that they are unhappy,that they are just lumbering on in life without any motivation.They do not realise that there is a script that dictates their life,but it wasnt written by some unknown hand before they were born.It has been written by themselves,nd its dictated by the choices they have made all along their lives.They chose to do what was easy,and in the end that has made all the difference between true happiness and a meaningless life.Their fate was written by the choices they made,and they chose to become who they are.

We Always Have a Choice
nice one kanav..i think the biggest problem with most people is that the thing that they like doesnt have something in it to become a profession!!and there are many people(like me) who dont know what they really like!!otherwise,for those who are really passionate abt something the first path is the right one to take..
ReplyDeletenice one....tu kbse itna serious ho gaya!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother very gud one kanav... but I differ from one point... U said that people will look at the mirror and realise the mistake they committed long ago, but what I think is once they had made dat decision long ago theyll stop thinking about themselves altogether... when they look at the mirror they will not see themselves but see their reputation..theyll start believing that they are their reputation.... and reputation at the end of the day is how other people react to your decisions.... just lemme know ur views on this...
ReplyDelete@bharath...i think u are probably right,but i'd still like to believe dat people do realise their mistakes..mayb there is a tiny fraction out there who realise where they went wrong,but by then it is too late to change anything..
ReplyDeletehmmm... and i probably feel that it wuld be better for that person not to realise his mistake cause it would haunt him the rest of his life...but there are some who put behind things and start living for themselves...
