A guide for the lost

The solutions are simple and problems complicated.  Ever thought about that ?
Well, it's  such a cliched statement.  Real life is no fairy tale but to not believe in fairy tales is being too cynical . Being pragmatic and to still believe in your dreams is such an arduous task to achieve .

But in my 30 years of existence I have seen miracles happening and witnessed tragedies as well. It was painful to realise that whatever we encounter in life is more or less attracted by us . Let me rephrase it : most of the things in our life are attracted by our choices made out of ignorance or awareness . It is a little hard concept for people to understand and arguably so it is complex as there are so many external factors at work in the world . And the old debates of nurture vs nature are never ending . But I personally found that there are two distinct things in life that must not be confused : first is the material world , society and it's machinations and the other is your own spirit, choices you make and perhaps universal law.

Is there a perfect job or a perfect soul mate?  Should a job be taken up considering the pay cheque or the work atmosphere ? How about commuting time and holidays ? You can create an entire check list of expectations and use logic and rationale in choosing a particular job but it won't matter if your heart isn't in it ! Yes , again a clichéd statement but whether we accept it or deny it , the fact remains that the people who make it "big " in life are usually those who enjoy what they do . Yes , hurdles will still crop up and it won't be necessarily a smooth ride ,as is life . But would one progress in a field where the work or the atmosphere is distasteful ? This is why the great men /women emphasised on the value of setting goals . I know a lot of the aforementioned things are easier said than done but even if we find ourselves entangled in the cruel reality of physical world and challenges of finding the "perfect " way of leading the life , we can still set little goals . Setting a big goal without the needed discipline and persistence is pointless . If we could start with setting small goals and achieving them , we could build the needed self confidence,  trust and discipline to move forward and also understand what it takes to bring a change in life and not merely fantasise about dreams .

As long as we strive to move forward and make use of our time , we would have hope and if you have hope ,anything is possible provided you are willing to pay the price . Also , utilising our time is a way to be grateful for this life and humans make mistakes so utilising time shouldn't entail anxiety and stress . Do your bit but take it easy .
