Be Your Own Hero

As Paulo Coelho, Author of The International Best seller, The Alchemist mentioned in his book, What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realised, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learnt along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realising our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learnt as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon.’“Every search begins with beginner’s luck. And every search ends with the victor’s being severely tested.”

The journey of the "one" may not be as easy as it seems, but definitely would be worth it. People say that they like surprises, but they are Wrong. They call Surprises which make them feel good for timing, others which come unexpectedly are termed as Problems. Usually, when people face trials and deadlocks, they keep on asking, "Why Me?" There surely would be severe tests which one would have to face because The Universe, would like to know whether, he is capable of achieving all he wants to. People often criticize and complain about all the things that they lack in life. They never truly know the meaning of being grateful and appreciate the things which they currently have in their lives. Because the things they have Now, were once the things, they wanted to Have in their lives. But, once their wish got fulfilled, it was taken for granted. Now, even the hardships are not dealt with but are accepted, because it makes them feel even more comfortable than getting their asses up and go work a way out of it!

What I'm trying to say is, Life would obviously throw challenges at you. One who calls something which they didn't want or makes them uncomfortable as a "Problem" already makes it even bigger than the matter actually is. There doesn't exists anything as a "Problem" in the vocabulary of the people who have been successful. They call them "Challenges" because it motivates them to face it and eventually win. Don't forget that mistakes are painful when they happen, but years later collection of mistakes are termed as "Experience" which leads to "Success."

So get outta of your comfort zone & face a challenge which you've been taking for granted or thinking that there's a no way out of this. If you don't live for something, you'll die for nothing. 

Next time, you face a Challenge, don't say "Why Me?" rather say, "Try Me."
