Why You Still Didn’t Rise Up From the Ashes?

Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by Ashwin in Blogging motivation

There is just one race in this world and that’s the human race. There are 4 kinds of people though: the good ones, the bad ones, the winners and the losers. Am I being a little too harsh here?

You bet, I am!

You know, I have been noticing off late. Blogging here at blogging elements has been more than just a simple activity for me; it has consumed me. Mike and I have worked very hard to be here and to get this going and we both know we didn’t even begin. The point of the blog isn’t about this at all — it’s about something much deeper; more profound.

People set out to dream big; they go out of their way to start something in a quest to get something they need badly. But they don’t stick long enough. I am sure you have given up on something at some point or the other. I make such bold claims because everyone I know, including myself, did it.

It’s only human to give up; to move onto something else; to find alternatives.

Assuming there is just one thing I always wanted, what matters is that I keep that fight up to get to that one thing – no matter how many ways I might have to approach it. That’s where the problem is.

We don’t have the will to fight left in us anymore because we have too many options. Failure was one option our ancestors never had; they didn’t crib and they fought. Why are we such losers? Why can’t we just make a decision and start taking some action, get things done and bask in the glory of our results?

Nah…that’s too easy for us, isn’t it? We need simple solutions like cribbing, drinking, goofing off and doing nothing about our problems. Like this character Dave Johnson narrates in the movie Not Easily Broken: “Sometimes, life turns you upside down so that you can learn to live your life right side up”.

How many of us understand the depth in the simplicity of that statement? How many of us have come to accept our call of duty and do it in a way that defines us?

Your purpose there isn’t to let your life be chewed away by the rigors of time; it’s to build something of it and to make sure that you live up to your fullest potential. If you aren’t doing what you are best at, what the heck are you doing? Defeat is too easy. Try winning because it can finally define you and show you what you are made of.

Rant ends.

You got the controls, where are you going?
