A Bit Down Over The Past Few Days

I had been a bit down in the past few days, wondering how I could have been at the wrong end of life, receiving all the unhappy endings. I seem to be getting things wrong, and to make matters worse, I can’t even keep up doing what I am doing. How could I succeed if I am unable to do what I am supposed to do?

Back in school days, it was quite straightforward. Study all the chapters for the exam, take the exam, and get the first rank. Life, in a way, is quite straightforward, like our school days. The only mistake was that I thought life was something more and different than what it was.

True, there are differences or additions to what we did in the past, but in summary, if you put in the hours, success would/should follow. I forgot this somewhere in my journey.

And the result? I think I have been left behind, far behind, by my friends, colleagues, and even my own family members. I have been putting the reason for this debacle on depression for some time now, but it is about time I took charge. And here’s what I did.

Got A Change of Perspective | And I Like It | How About Catching Up? | And Overtaking?

So far, I had been beating myself down because I was unhappy that I was left behind so much. Everyone went ahead. Even those who started after me are miles ahead. But me… I am nowhere. And this kind of thinking contributed to my depression. Anyway, that’s the past.

Now, then, I got a change of perspective. I like driving a lot, and that too on open roads to go as fast as I can. I like catching up and overtaking (in a very sane manner, 😊), so how about doing that in real life? I can feel the energy pumping up just at the thought. It is exciting. It is inspiring and it is motivating.

I am looking at everyone who has gone ahead as someone to catch up with. I can increase my speed and make it to them. And then… overtake them. How would that be? Exhilarating, right? For me, it is.

That’s what I am on to!

Couldn’t Have Happened Without the Nudge from God!

I’ve got to admit that most of the past few years have gone by ruing the missed opportunities instead of looking ahead. I tried a lot of things, including things to feel motivated. But there just wasn’t that spark. It would all work for a few days, and then back to square one.

This time, though, I got something I really feel like doing. There is no change in the business that I am doing, but the perspective of where I stand and what I can do has changed. And that’s a lot more than I can ever ask for. Needless to say, this nudge in the right direction has also come from God, and I will be eternally grateful to God the Father, Jesus Christ, His Son, and my Savior, and the Holy Spirit!!

Interesting what God can achieve in our lives in just moments, and we tend not to take this help and continue struggling. Sometimes we are weird. I am glad that I got going thanks to the right nudge from God!!

Thank You, God!
