The forgotten climb
How to redefine your life by facing the most common hurdles
Musing gaze at the sunset, anyone would do a dissection of life at that moment. Time is never a luxury for many of us to have such a long gaze. But life sometimes hit back hard on us, and that is what all it takes for deeper scrutiny. The time to dust it off, the magic mirror, some failed to notice, or some hid under somewhere which shows out true self. It is a tiring and never-ending task to evaluate each moment what went wrong, moreover, that sucks the soul out of you some times. Every piece of the moment turns out to be the outcome of an adjusted thought process we made back somewhere. This climb is ours and ours only and never anything worthless should make you gasp.
Looking at the mirror
Every step in our lives is based out on the permutations and combinations we calculated. The good, the bad all turn out be better initially, halfway we realize some turn out to the stupidest.
As often said the past never defines you unless you cling on to it. When we failed to notice the damage it has done on us, we fail miserably. The will to act is all it takes at this juncture.
Take a close look at your inner self. Are you happy with that baggage you have been carrying all these days? It is of utmost necessity to make peace with the past. Prepare yourself to clear out the unwanted baggage you have been carrying. Once you are into it you will notice the spaces being created which you are will fill it with your new choices and new destinations. Change the thought pattern that damages you and helps you settle the past. Rather than remembering the past with one or two bad experiences cherish it with the beautiful moments, the surprises you had, and the smiles you saw. Our thought patterns are so fascinating that it gets reflected on us, some times. You ask for a flower and one fine Sunday morning you get to see sun rays creep through petals of a flower in your garden.
When you closely observe, you see the changes you wish for. And when you are ready for the changes, all you need to equip are the supplies for this climb.
The relevance of plans
Formulate plans that boost your present and amends your thought process to create a better version of you. A plan well executed gives you the head start anyone could wish for. Indira Gandhi once said,” Have a bias toward action — let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away”. A plan with a will to act always serves you better more than anything.
Fear of uncertainty and Fear of Failure
The magic begins when we step out of our comfort zone. Fear should drive you throughout your climb. Rather than using it to your advantage we often step back as for the uncertainty we are never prepared. No one ever prepares you for the uncertainties. Failures can teach you more than success. People crave for success, although the progress of climb is determined by the lucrative learning you had from failures. The courage comes within, the master is the inner self and follows the master for it is the source of abundant energy. One step at a time and climb will never be fearful unless you become a slave to fear.
Dealing with insecurities
The mirror shows you what change you wish for. Though we see change, the struggle to overcome your insecurities is a hurdle for the climb. Most of us are not on the brighter side of life where things are perfect. It requires an effort large enough to push the limits. Be a steward of your talents. Sharpen your skills for it will be rusted if not used. Not everyone is the same and the key is identifying you. The closer you are to your inner self the lesser the trouble of insecurities.
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”- Swami Vivekananda
The climb will test you, it will exhaust you, but take the one step at a time and finally, you will reach the pinnacle. Happy Reading !!
