Swami Vivekananda once gave an anecdote form his life experience - he had been wandering in the ghats of banaras, when a group of monkeys attacked him. He began running in the opposite direction, and the monkeys began chasing him. Some wise man sitting there, suggested - "Turn back and face the brutes"; when he tried facing them the monkeys began running away helter skelter.
Though this might be just an anecdote, it gives a lot of valid insight into the way we live. Most of the time we try to hide, or run away from our problems. The minute we decide to solve our problems, face them upfront, accept challenges things begin to change. We see success; we get breakthrough.
Life is always a challenge, what joy in living if there is no challenge in life???
Life keeps giving us ample opportunities to try and correct our self, improve over self. But blame it on the human nature - we generally crib or complaint and wont act to correct. We run away blaming fate or luck for having pushed us into situation; the reality might be that we have blocked our perception and avoid seeing the reality. We want to live in a world of pleasure, of happiness but dont want to work towards it.
Its time we wake up... accept things as they are, face the world, challenge our assumptions... work with enthusiasm, and not accept defeat. We are the masters of our destiny, we have it in us to change wht happens to us so lets not run away from the challenges that we face but live up to them and create history like never before...
Never say die...
