Do Not Crave for It

In life, we are bound to have so many desires, some of which are achievable and some are not. Those which are achievable gives us the immense pleasure when achieved and those which we can’t achieve, it disappoints and let us down in life. We never give a second thought and we start feeling ourselves very low when something we wished for is not fulfilled. If we actually give a second thought to what has not been achieved, it will give us a room for improvement so that the same could be achieved the next moment. If we analyze carefully, where we went wrong and why it has not been achieved, I think there is nothing we can’t do. But we are very narrow minded and wanted everything to happen in a very perfect manner which does not. 

We have to cross many hurdles in life. We have to go up and we have to fall into abyss just to be one successful person in life. Nothing in life will be so perfect that we are welcomed every time without any hardships. If we want the rose, we have to face the danger of piercing thorns. If we always expect good things to happen in our life, we would be totally disappointed when something bad happen to us. Therefore it is always important for us to expect the unexpected and be prepared to face any circumstances in life. We have to be open, look at things from different angles. A problem could have more than one solution but it all depends on how we look at it. If we always think that each problem will have just one solution, then we can’t even get out, when we have problems where the solutions are not the one we know.  Like for example in mathematics, if we practice the same kind of questions again and again and make ourselves perfect without even thinking of another way to solve it, then we would face difficulties if the same questions have been twisted in the examinations. Therefore in life, we will have many problems but each problem will have its own solution. We have to approach it from different angles whichever is easy. 

We should never take anything for granted and live the life for itself. It is always easy to get into the depth of problems but very difficult to come out. Never crave for anything that does not come to us. If it was meant for us, it will come to us without having to go asking or looking for it. If we try to get something which is never meant to be ours, it will lead to a bad situation. If it comes to us and we don't get that, then it is our duty to fight for the right. If I cite a simple example, the public money does not belong to us in any ways but we somehow got the chance to enjoy it. What if Anti-Corruption or other higher authorities come to know about this? It would be an end to our profession! Even if we are not caught, please believe me, one day or other, we will have to face its repercussions (A little thinking of Buddhist here).

Therefore what I always feel is that, everything happens for good. If I don't get now, I think something better than this could be waiting down the line. So be contented with what you have and if you are entitled by life to have some more than this, it will come to you one day. Force will never work to achieve anything in life, even if you can get it by luck or by chance after having craved for it crazily, it will never last long. The Happiness earned is much livelier than the one you snatched. Remember, the respect is earned and is not demanded. If you demand, people will lose faith in you. So let the "Things" come to you, do not crave for it.
