Been eons since i posted i don't even know if i have lost the skill of blogging. But here it goes.
Sometimes we get lost in the world we create in our head. Some
never get out of that fairy tale and blame many others for their misery. But if
we would stop walking in blind faith and listen to bystanders, we might
suddenly discover that the path that we have been so stubbornly trekking on is
not leading us to our destination we had set so long ago. Sometimes you may
even find it hard to recall what was your original destination. But once you
reconcile your current location and your marked location on the map, you now
face a difficult choice.
To follow your original intention and detour, or to carry on
and see what this path leads you to.
How bad did you want your original intended destination?
Perhaps you were heading towards a lake but now see a beautiful mountain at the
end of this route. Just as enticing as canoeing in the lake, you are also
excited about the beautiful view from the mountain. You know you can canoe, but
how sure are you that the mountain is climbable. Do you wanna head back to the
lake in the other direction, not having any glimpse if the lake you wanted to
go to will be disappointing because it is small, or do you wanna change plans
and track towards that mountain, although uncertain if you would ever be able
to scale it?
1) you can see the new destination, but not the intended old
one
2) you have come a long way it is tedious to head back the
other direction
We miss out an important point though. That the map could be
wrong. That either destination we choose, we can never be sure about anything.
Isn't that the exciting but yet frustrating thing about life? That is why many
turn to religion, thinking that if they just go ahead with life or choose a
path with some 'guidance' from above and it turns out good, it is THE path. Yet
if it doesn't, we can be consoled that it is probably better than the other
because it was a 'guided' decision. Sometimes we push the responsibility of our
own actions to the force of 'nature'.
But sometimes, instead of being on the move,let's lay a mat
to enjoy the present scene and focus on what's indeed around us. flowers we can
touch and grass we can feel. Moreover, it's better that we refresh and think
carefully about which path we really want before making a decision, than to
continue in the wrong direction because we made a lousy decision when we were
tired and disappointed. We call that a retreat at a mid-way crisis, and
sometimes that's what all of us need.
STOP- 'Stay There, Orientate Properly' before you make
another wrong decision.
Just sometimes wonder if God says 'Hey I didnt direct you there, you didnt listen attentively so dont blame Me when you find yourself in the dessert!'
