The Balance

“Dont sit there like a jerk and act like a victim. Go out there and make things happen”, I said to myself. I was in

the mood for some stock taking.A cup of hot home made coffee always helps the cause.

This was 10 months ago.

A lot of things were not falling into place and I had decided to make things happen. I was NOT going to sit around

and wait for “fate” or “luck” to smile on me.

I went ahead, made a plan and executed the same. The plan was meticulous, the timing, perfect and the intent was unwavering.

Ten months later, I see that the plan went through…. but was I enjoying myself??

I guess not.

It sometimes is better to balance pushing for things to happen with letting HIM decide what should happen as well.

    I have read this post at just the right time. I am now at the phase where you were 10 months back and wondering whether it is time to DO something about my life. OR let life take its course.

    some more introspection, great! we expect the results to be exactly the way we want them, and suffer disappointments which takes the joy out of the very process? correct me if i”m wrong.:)

    Absolutely agree with you there. He knows best for us, so its better to leave somethings in his hands.

  17. Life Blink says

  18. Vish R says

    Wise man on the move again… thanks.I”m feeling great now!

  19. Dhee Kar says

    A great one…………..i was thinking on similar lines recently!! Some times pushing hard may be necessary and some times may be not!! If u had not tried that at that time, u might be thinking in exactly the opposite way today that u should have tried to make the things happen. Making u Push the things could be His decision only!! won”t u agreee????

  20. Deepa says

    hmmm…well, end of the day, its always HIM who decides to let our plans happen or fail. But then, we would atleast have the satisfaction of having tried to execute our plans, whether they succeed or not
