Do you know how life works? You come into this world, you grow up and you try to find your place along the way. You try to discover yourself, find your position in this world, and find your purpose in life.
But even as you go along, there are struggles and hardships which you'll face throughout this journey. Sometimes you have to compromise with your dreams, sometimes you have to adjust with the challenges that life throws your way.
Let me take you through a journey that has both ups and downs, the highs and lows.
I remember my friend's journey through failures and success. He started his journey in Baroda, Gujarat. From playgroup to representing the state in hockey for 3 times and district for 4 times and nationals as well, within a period of 6 years!
He discovered his calling and passion as well. But as you know life has its own way of moving and so came along our boards.
Now my friend had a choice to make, either to Keep on following his passion and play the game, or Take a break at the peak of his career, prepare for boards and get good marks.
The choice was not at all easy.
But sometimes life teaches you how to adjust yourself and move forward. So he dropped the plan of playing further for the time being.
My friend beat the boards, got good marks, and got into a good college.
Finally, he could get back to his passion,
Finally, he could go back to hockey.
He worked really hard to get back in shape and finally he was in his best shape, doing his best, giving his best.
And soon he would have gone to represent the under 19 team too.
But then, the lockdown was implemented and it shattered his dreams, brought his game to a standstill.
Did he have a say in it?
No.
Did he have a choice?
Again No.
All he could do was to compromise because he was compelled by the circumstances.
But he's already started learning to find his rhythm and hoping for a better day.
So what does this teach us?
A lesson in success and failure.
Nobody gets the taste of success at the beginning itself.
It is only through your efforts and focus, that you gradually move towards it.
It takes time to taste success, moving from one failure to another, and above all Not losing your Focus.
Hardships will come and go.
You'll taste more failures on the road to meet that one bit of success.
But what's really important is to not lose your focus. You'll have to compromise, you'll have to adjust too. But this is how you move forward. This is how you find your purpose, your calling and this is how you really make out a life for yourself.
