Life…… what is life? This is one of the most frequent questions that often come to my mind. Feeling envious of seeing someone who has more money than you have. Feeling inferior by possessing fewer luxuries than others. Feeling misfortunate for one's self by seeing larger houses of others than your own house. Feeling useless and thinking that this is the end of life just because you have scored fewer marks than your friends. Is this life? Is this the elucidation of life? Most of us have often heard that life is the name of living boldly and courageously, without being accountable to others. But if life includes the feelings of inferiority complexities, jealousy, and uselessness, then life doesn’t mean living courageously, but to live in a cage as a prisoner.
This cage is not visible yet it has strongly encaptured all of us, even more strongly than the visible cage. This invisible yet strong cage is getting stronger day by day in this world of advancements. Our perceptions have developed this cage. Yes, our perceptions…… our negative perceptions that have been inculcated in our subconscious minds. These negative thoughts have encaptured our talented, creative, and substantial minds from achieving our goals. But the fact is, this cage is just based on our assumptions and is an assumed cage. But this assumed cage is so strong that it has dominated our genuine and substantial minds.
Living in this cage is not actually life. Life is the name of being one's self. The name of being happy in every circumstance. It is the name of embracing one's self by having things that others can’t even afford to have. It is the name of being happy in others' happiness. Life is the name of understanding that the harder you will work, the more results you will get.
God has blessed all of us with lives, in the same way, every opportunity is equivalently open to all. But we should be mature and sensible enough to acknowledge that at times, an individual cannot get the same opportunity for which he is craving. We should acknowledge that if today an opportunity that we craved for is missed, then we should construct ourselves in a better way for welcoming much better and bigger opportunities, which will come in the future. But those better opportunities ensure more focus, more dedication, more struggle as well as more hard work, so that you wouldn’t have to chase the opportunities, instead, opportunities approach you. Life is just like a pitch. On that pitch, bowling is done by the opportunities, and opportunities are being propelled on you, one after the other. Now, it will be just you who will determine which opportunity you want, because now you are a professional player who knows how to play the game, known as “THE GAME OF LIFE”. Now you know that no one can even dare to stop you from winning until and unless you are focused on playing and determined to keep playing till the last ball. Life is a beautiful game and is a gift from God that He has bestowed us with. So focus on your game, rather than poking your head into the game of the lives of others. This will not only indulge you in more negativities but will also dwindle your strength of potential and aptitudes, by shattering your reliance.
