Give It A Shot

Should I do it or should I leave it?
Will I be able to achieve it?
What if I fail?

These are the questions which each one of us faces more than often. That constant uncertainty of the future is a bloody strong force which is ever ready to hold us back. And as it happens, it usually succeeds in its efforts.

But what is it that makes this force so powerful? In my opinion, the only reason why we fail to try something is our inner fear. That fear of losing or the fear of failure is what stops us from trying what might be the best path for us. Since an early age, we are always motivated to win. We are told that we are the best at what we do and that is somewhere correct but what we are not told is that it is not always necessary to win.

Not everyone can be a winner in everything. And there is no harm in losing. Yes my friends, it is absolutely fine to lose a game or miss an opportunity or make a wrong decision because it is them which give you experience. They teach you what not to do and compel you to make a better path for yourself. The fear of defeat should never come in the way of choosing an unknown journey. It does not matter if the path seems difficult, it is you who has the strength to make it easy.

If you've understood what I'm trying to convey, get out and give that activity you've been thinking of doing a try. No matter how, just do it. But at the same time, don't be afraid to fall. You can always get up and retry, and even if you don't, you'll be able to cherish the feeling that you Gave It A Shot

Protection or Prison

  Under the guise of safety  We keep our doors closed Merely imagining the world beyond We accept to be forever entombed What we fail to recognize Is that we are our own prison Limiting our own powers We have given up our own freedom What started as protection Has now become a jail That which we are so afraid to break out of That which has become our excuse to fail   The reality is not what we believe Rather, we can actually take charge Change the direction our destiny takes And break free from the tower so large -Tamrina

Ten Years

There is an interesting thing we all like to do in our life and that is commemorate dates. Whether it is birthdays, anniversaries, he or she day we met someone for the first time but also, the day we lost someone dear to us. On the one end, the remembrance gives us joy and a chance to celebrate and on the other, they are an opportunity to think about that special person, often through teas and wonder, if things could have been different. As humans, it is our nature to assign meaning to things; whether it is the changing of seasons, that breaking of a glass or even, our own suffering. Why do we do that? It is to find some sense of order in this chaos of a world. Similarly, attaching that special meaning to some days gives us a break from the mundane. It allows us to take a breather from everyday routines and shuffle things up a little bit. I once read somewhere that grief is the love we feel for someone once they are gone and maybe this is why we remember them extra on particular da...

We Win Some, We Lose Some and We Snooze Some

A while back, a close friend had told me that my life would always be interesting because I have a passion and a dream to fulfil it, which translates to me always having something to fight for. This statement has stuck with me, especially in my low times because it is very true. When things get tough, I think about the destination I have set for myself and it gives me the strength to overcome the obstacles in my path. Something that I have come to realize very recently though is irrespective of the journey a person chooses to embark in life, there are many battles that each of us has to fight. And despite our best efforts, we win some, we lose some and we snooze some. Now the first two is pretty self-explanatory and the reality of life and circumstances but the third option is what I wish to share with you today. For some people, life is a constant uphill battle; it could be due to a social disadvantage, financial challenges, belonging to a marginalized group, intrapersonal struggles,...
