“Our destiny is in our own hands” – the saying goes. But how far
this is true is a moot question indeed!
“Where there is a will, there is a way” – goes the adage, but how
practical is it in today’s context is something that is to be
scrutinized threadbare.
Hard
work and perseverance are the two keys to success. We can shape our own
destiny by hard work and perseverance. But, what if we don’t succeed
even after working hard and persevering? I don’t want to sound
pessimistic though, but let me put forth some moot points before you.
I’ve often felt and believed that we can shape our destiny to our
liking, by hard work and perseverance. But, when I don’t succeed even
after working hard and persevering, I lose faith in these values and
feel that the destiny has something else in store for me and we are just
slaves to it. I feel that no matter however hard we work and persevere,
destiny controls us and our future and we are bound to follow it
demurely.
When we don’t succeed even after working hard and persevering to achieve
our most cherished and coveted goal(s), we feel that the destiny does
not want us to become what we wanted to become. There is then a shift of
ambition and focus. We have a try at other things and when we finally do
succeed and settle in something else, then we feel, perhaps this is what
the destiny wanted to make me and wanted me to pursue.
But, on the other hand, I feel all this talk of destiny and believing in
it blindly are the signs of a weak-minded person who wants to avoid his
responsibilities. A strong person will weather every storm of the
destiny, come what may, to achieve his goals! He’ll not (and should not)
merely accept what destiny has to offer him. He’ll fight for what he
wants for himself from destiny.
There goes a saying – “Shallow men believe in luck, strong men
believe in cause and effect.” This holds very true of persons who
believe in themselves and in the values of hard work and perseverance.
Just because you didn’t get something or couldn’t achieve your cherished
goal – even after a lot of hard work and perseverance – you shouldn’t
settle for something inferior, which you may feel the destiny has to
offer you or has offered you!
Always be a fighter and fight until your last breath for accomplishing
your dreams. This is a world of cut-throat and ruthless competition.
Remember, in this world there is no place for quitters because – “Winners
never quit and quitters never win.”
