It has been days since I wrote something on this forum. I had actually lost myself to indulgence. Indulgences of self. Which, however, are just as important. Had some of the better times of my life in the lap of nature and then with family. These things should act as means of rejuvenation and not deterrents. But, it's not easy to keep yourself focused and motivated for the larger goals in times of leisure.
One of the most trying times is when you have to redirect yourself on to the road to your goal, back from the state of being direction less. Following a routine is much easier than setting up a routine for yourself. In the pleasures of today it's very easy to forget the destination that you had once set on.
Writing here was one thing I had enforced on myself to continue. Like all other things getting back to it was just as difficult. For some days, it was genuinely not possible while for the rest of the days it was just procrastination. It was very hard to make myself realise that all this writing and reading was a path to be taken to achieve all that you want in your life.
We as selfish human beings want everything that we can get today. It's hard for us to let go of some of today's fun for tomorrow's goals. That's the plight of the most of the human race. What attracts us is the destination. The beauty of that place, the comfort, the luxury but we fail to realise that reaching there demands sacrifices.
Today marked the starting of the beginning of the second leg of the journey to the destination. It however is extremely difficult to carry it on for some length of time and only increase the intensity. The course will get stiffer and so would have to be the effort. You don't lose until you concede defeat, as long as you are trying, you have a chance of winning.
"If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm." ~ Mohandas Gandhi
