Limitation : An invited fall

It is a fact. We are born with no knowledge. Other than exceptions we are born in similar structures. But the way we walk on life decides our future. Still it is difficult for us to understand that no one here is an exception and no body is bounded by any limitation.

It was a rainy day. I was walking on the footpath at Hyderabad. I passed from a temple. On steps I found few beggars. Others were just bounded to their nature. But one fellow tried to show his weakness as he was having only one hand. He limited his expectation to this business only because he lost his hand in an accident. I just walked away. At corner of my house, an another man is used to sit. He makes and sells break fast, tea and other namkins. By bad luck he had also one hand. We are not bound by our physics but our internal strengths. One fellow with same physics limits his life to beg where as in another case a fellow believes in earning hard worked money.

Siren Kierkegaard says "There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming." Becoming and being are the yin and yang of our lives. One inner one outer. Today, we value becoming to the exclusion of being; we applaud human becoming. The secret is balance.

Winning and loosing are the turns that you will find in anyone’s life. Is there any road without turn? Is there any road that doesn’t cross the other road? But does it mean restriction of journey? When we cry on any defeat or keep crying it is sure to say we are unable to forget past. So we are unable to think about future simultaneously. In other words, if you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars. Future is nothing but shining stars again. Sun set and sunrise are part of nature. They have to occur to move ahead the world.

How to move ahead in difficult time then? Vision, purpose and objectives are basis of any great infrastructure. Great companies work on same base. Nothing is done without purpose. It is our duty to identify some great purposes to live. Even one is more than enough. Take an assignment as challenge. I understand. It is easy to say. But it is also not so difficult to do. I have experienced in very short span of life that everything is here as it was to occur. It was supposed to be here. Some one tried and made an effort. Your dream and vision if not by anything else should inspire you.

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali (c. 1st to 3rd century BC)

I believe in persistent change. I found some people crying on education weaknesses. What if you are failed in education! Education is an experience. For new environment, experience changes. New experiences will take birth by new imaginations and efforts. You may be the person who is going to establish such experiences. Albert Einstein says, "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." At the same time education is also basis. It also says you what not to do to experience new things. Thomas Alva Edison said on his experiences " I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." That means every effort either works or not should be done.

Exploring is the only activity for which the world is made. I may say something extra but I believe opportunities do not come. You have to make it. The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Draft a map in that way which brings opportunities in your building. Live your life to the full, take every opportunity that arises because you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you are dead.

Limitation always walks with fear. I really felt it. We don’t go outside and create our limitation up to the gate as outside is surrounded by darkness. I was to feel it in my childhood. Some one has really defined FEAR in very right way. What is FEAR? FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. It is necessary to touch the fear. Elenor Roosevelt said "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself. "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

I limited my life in really bad ways what others insist to do. Education is my major limit. But I believe in change. That is only reason of my survival. However our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Failure and fear are basic instincts of our life. But it will be great if they cause growth rather limitations. Lastly as Robert F. Kennedy said "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
