The Right Start

Many times the difference between failure and success is doing something nearly right, or doing it exactly right. Its amazing when we sometime sit down and try to analise, what have we done in life so far and what we exactly want to do in the future, we are baffled with many surprising unanswered questions. Then we quizically mock ourselves by asking is this how i wanted my life to be? Is this the right direction i should be focussing my goals to? Is this where my unindentified talent should lead to? And the list goes on.


When we were a thinking embroyo in our childhood days, our minds often used to reach the zenith of unlimited ambitions and take us to the world of fantacies. The child often wants to become a sachin tendulkar, or an astronaut or a scientist or doctor or maybe a sharukh khan when he grows. Quiet obvious that his fantasy brain draws inspiration and dreams from almost anythng and everything exciting he sees around him. So the child grows, with a bag full of books on his back and a brain full of fantastic ambitions. Soon he starts maturing and each time a cell within his brain grows, he takes a step closer to reality. Most of the far stretched childhood dreams by then has eloped as he starts realising his strength and weaknessnes. He now starts chanellising his efforts towards one direction and goal which perhaps his reality struck brain thinks is either his real passion or is within his reach. Thus he toils day in and out to achieve his goals.


Now ofcourse there are exceptions to this usual pattern, like there may be some child who indulge so much into being a notorious kid or a brat that they dont think much of ambitions ; or like there maybe some or many who do not make it to the ambitious destition they dreamt of reaching in their budding age.


However, those few who does end up achieving what they always wanted to become ; this blog is dedicated to them.

Human mind is often a bag full of tricks. With every action potential generated i believe there comes a password to another trick. At times when we mould ourselves like a machine and just focus on achieving our goals, we often stop thinking. Then suddenly when one fine day we switch that thinking button on for a change, we wonder is my mind still thinking on the same wavelength it used to think before?
This ever changing dynamism of the human mind is perhaps beyond anybodys prediction.


That doesnt stop us from dreaming, desiring and focussing. But when this dynamic mind plays its cards, it often shifts our focus and desires. So the goals u wanted to achieve since childhood might now become not that exciting once you have actually achieved it. This phenomenon often reffered to as dilemma might affect us in various aspects of life, i am just mentioning one.

So what is the logic behind this mind puzzle. Is it the hunger that keeps the excitement going? And when the hunger is fed, either the excitement dies or another hunger bigger than the previous one appears. The more u feed your mind and dreams, the more hungry it gets.

A man who has not made it to his goals is unhappy because he thinks himself to be a failure ; whereas a man who has achieved his goals is also unhappy because he now wants to achieve more.

When i woke up this morning, my mind tickled me with a wierd question : does success really bring all the happiness and satisfaction?


In the end, i cannot conclude the answer to the question in a precise yes or no. However, i feel that its not how we end up with respect to achieving our goals, that determines our happiness. Its the start we make in that journey that makes us satisfied..

..so all we need , is the right start.
