Recent times I seen too much of skepticism building into self. Not that it's unusual with me but this time I was going overboard with it. Someone should take blame for it. Not me, of course. The culprit is... Summer heat! :P
I link my skepticism with laziness. When I am feeling lazy and don't want to rock world around, I start taking world the way it is and not the way I want it to be. Roadblocks never mean end of journey. They were never the destination that you had planned for. Roadblock just means that you have to take diversion, take on the unknown roads, enjoy the adventure and still make it to the destination. And that's actually the beauty of roadblocks. You won't learn new things unless you get them. And life, journey will be awfully boring without them.
When kid, we had this "grow and show the plant" thingy at school. Got seeds and soil from market, planted seeds, worked out placement for maximum sunlight, did whatever nurturing book had talked about and then finally went to school for the showcase thingy. Teacher made some notes in her file and then we were to take it back. One of the passerby bully character broke the healthier branch of my plant. Me was furious and sad but instead of fighting that idiot crap, priority was to get it back to home and do something about it. At home, borrowed one piece of cloth from mom. Tied it around that small plant just as a doc applies plaster to your broken arm. Worked out support thingy plus a neat dressing at the broken side. And can you guess? The branch didn't wither, it didn't die out. It continued to grow, it started flowering. Just that it couldn't join back to parent stem and occasionally I had to keep changing the support structure and the dressing of bandage around it. Later on I learned that it didn't join back was because of some mistake in my initial dressing the day accident had happened. Didi's school text book talked about growing rose plant by means of some procedure of pulling out branch from it's shrub, make a triangular cut and joining it to new shrub and across time the branch joins with the new parent. I don't recollect the terminology for this procedure but it's a famous one and I believe everyone must have learned it during their school time. What me ended up doing was prior to learning this thingy from her textbook. Luckily it worked out without any prior knowledge. And yeah, though it might have worked out better but then that partial success wasn't bad either.
So the point is, you will find your way out if you have the will for it. Your heart and head will discover ways for you even for unknown situations and/or problems. It's okay to feel sad and to crib for sometime. After all, docs do say that tears cleanse eyes (and so one should cry once in while :P). However, crying very often can be disastrous. Your eyes will suffer, your nose will too. The worse part? Too many! Your head will also start aching abruptly in between. Your voice will become sour. And if this physical hurting is not good enough, damages to your psyche, your mind is much worse. So cry a little to keep your eyes healthy but avoid being a tap water :P
So next time you hit a roadblock, pull chalk outta your pocket, draw some cartoon sketches on that roadblock, leave your signature beneath and take diversion for new discoveries :D |
