The world may think I have stumbled. But the point is not to be happy or being successful in their eyes.
Life is always about what one wants and wishes, nay what the world thinks of that person. I may not have taken the right decision (in the hindsight everybody's wise). But the most important part is that I have taken the decision. Going some years down the line, I will be in a position not to blame anyone as I am the charter of my own destiny. My happiness lies in what I think, what work I have chosen to do, despite negating the desired paths of so called success and happiness.
Most of my friends are unhappy in doing the work they do. If people aren't satisfied in what work they do, why do they do it for heaven's sake? The risk averse path is always safe, always devoid of pitfalls. But is it worth taking it? What is life if it is short of difficulties and testing times? A plain slate? I wish it were as rugged as the peaks, as mighty as the thunder, as darkened as the clouds. With this at least my eyes will be able to view a different world altogether.
I stand clueless in understanding the world's definition of happiness? Is happiness only in parading your barren fringes? Is it not there in taking some time off to relish yourself? Is it not in watching the leaves sway, watching the child's smile, in doing all the things in the world which you always wished to do but couldn't as you got stuck in the daily grind?
Life is not a race as said by Rancho. It is simply made of small moments which are to be relished. It really doesn't matter how the world perceives you and your worldly riches, what completely matters is how one feels everyday in doing the work which one chooses to do, in maintaining the relations which one wants to maintain despite the tribulations.
Life is really beautiful if seen from your eyes and not the myopic view which the world tries to provide.
