Impulse!

You get up in the morning after a safe and fair amount of rest and you find yourself telling yourself .. ‘No .. not getting up today, not going to do anything that is expected of me to do, not doing anything ..’ and then something pushes you out and before long the world is ready to be conquered ! It was one of those days … today !

I think its all in the mind … naah … such a cliched remark … its many things coming together. Responsibility, commitment, the need to do or else and giving in. The first three are somewhat normal, natural, but the last ..’giving in’ is perhaps the most valid and valuable.

What does it feel like to give up ..? A sense of defeat, of not being able to perform, of allowing the mind and body to dictate to you. There have been many occasions in our lives when we have felt so. There is abject decision to withdraw. It is that self feel that we have gone beyond what we could have done or achieved, or are at a stage when we realise that we are unsuited for the part. Unsuited for the part, could be a wrong decision, one that could have been thrust upon you in circumstances beyond your control. In such cases it is best to be honest with one self. Accept the wrong decision and give in.

Failure or its acceptance is nothing to be ashamed of, happens to all of us, but it is the effort made before it that gains importance. Did we put in our best, or did we succumb to effort ! The satisfaction of such is beyond all else ..

There is great appreciation and applause for the winner yes, but the recognition for the loser is somehow that has that special something .. 

This does not by any stretch of imagination suggest that we need to go for that ‘special something’ .. !!!

Love to all...
