To De*Serve!

Every one of us has dreams. Dreams, to achieve something and to make it big in life. Aspirations to fly high. But we often let opportunities slip or let it go. Never are we alert and prepared to face what lies ahead of us. We often feel dejected when we don get what we want or something tat we aspire for. But pretty less do we realize as a matter of fact tat we get what we deserve. It’s a hard-hitting fact. I am sure most of us cannot take it.


Comparison, tat when we do with others of higher strata, the inner voice feebly yells, “Probably I am more deserving than he/she is! May be he/she is luckier than I am”. Jealousy takes over. We go red when someone gets “there” or gets “it”! And wonder how and when does this chord of luck strikes and whom?


As Robin S Sharma says in his book The Monk who sold his Ferrari, "The boundaries of our life are merely the creations of the self". Every action is a result of the thought tat mushrooms in the mind. One must actually GROW to deserve. The limitation is in the mind. One could see something for oneself from the outside but may not feel the same from the inside. There is no coherence. Our inner and outer mind doesn’t sync with each other. There must be a burning desire and passion to achieve or have “it”. As Paulo Coelho in his book The Alchemist (which is a very well written book on following your dreams) says, “When a person desires something, the whole universe conspires to help that person realize his dreams”.

Picture this:
“You deserve to have a job in the most reputed company coz you have the capability in you”.
“You deserve a promotion after all the hard work you have done”.
“You deserve to have a beautiful wife for you are now the most powerful man”.

After all, we “serve” to “deserve”! How often is this true? As also, it all depends on how well you showcase yourself. The ones who do not want to take credit or do not wanna be too much in the limelight will never get where they want. Isn’t that true? Haven’t we all seen this? Tolerated this? This is a very hypothetical world, you will sure agree. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we hardly can manage to trust the ones around. Hypocrites, amidst whom we live. It’s very sad but very true when we take a tentative insight into the natural world. Though we pretty much know who deserves what, we are forced to stay mum.

On the contrary, when you become a scapegoat to an unmentioned situation (read fate), when you know that 'you-do-not-deserve-to' suffer or be punished, no one asks “why you?”. Forget asking, they will not even stand by you. People will look up for a chance to run miles away from you to see that their names do not crop by. Sad!! And it shall remain sad.

At the end of this RAT-RACE (‘dirty’, if I could say), one often forgets that he/she still will remain a “RAT”, no matter you “win or “lose”!! Should we grow worthy of clouding up such thoughts in our mind or should we dump it?? That's for you to decide. But for now, my dump is so full that it has to refuse more refuse!![Wink] As I retire, GROW deserving and happy dumping!![Teethed smile]
