TASTE BUGS
Riding on a crest of glory,on a wave of success ,of achievements ,happenings that result in establishment of victory have always been sweet.Never has honey tasted bitter,nowhere will diamond lose its gleam but do all intentions of being one on the podium turn into reality ?
Winners are differentiated from the rest and they make up a miniscule majority of those who make a part of the race.While all the focus that the world could envisage is for this microscopic proportion,somewhere down the lane we need to spare a thought for the so called “also ran category”.
Let us face it,basking in the backyard of our euphoric entanglements is not as tough as glooming in the barn of failures.Our minds have been attuned to yearn for success,conditioned to accept the reality and crippled when it comes to handling setbacks.It is a cold,inarguable and startling truth that most of the population only get to be in such situations and yet for some proverbial thoughts spared on such myriad lives,those brutally undeniable traumas of our times ,we are left with very little time to spare.
Handling failure needs to be given its due importance,focus has to shift on this aspect of our lives too.Innumerable cases of people who have found it hard to face the outcomes or those in fear of unfortuitous outcomes,falling to the fangs of the fiery frankenstein called self-capitulation have come to our ears.This is because thoughts, fathoms deep have been forced to fend their limits within the fences of thier own minds and hearts.If only they had found an outlet to ferry it out,there may not have been so many ‘formers’.
There needs to be a sea change in the thinking pattern to help people face reality,for this is a srtiking and distinctive ,inseparable but surmountable part of our lives.The notion that success is ideality and shortcomings are misery needs to be banished.There needs to flourish enough fulcrum in the fields of our mind to handle crisis and commendation with equal facility.They are but two sides of the same coin.
To be able to do this,from an early age ,while positive thinking must be fostered,it should also include and inculcate the spirit with which we need to look at failure.Victory and vilification must not be scrutinized in isolation but pampered with equivocal approach.Our mindset needs to change and for that to take place,thoughts and the forces behind them too have to make a perceivable alteration to accept thing as they come and discern them in the right spirit.
