Expectations from change.


Change is something that we cannot change. A riddle can only engross you until you solve it. As said by many philosophers, life is interesting as long as you dont know what is in store. Like watching a thriller movie. If you watch the climax first, there is no use watching the entire movie as you wont be drawn by the suspense. One thing is certain as we can never be satisfied with what we have and we always yearn to taste success. One of the side effects of developing a purpose and life and pursuing it is discouragement, coming from the difference between having a strong vision and the time it takes to bring it into being.

Discouragement primarily comes from not managing your expectations and thinking things will happen faster than they really are able to. And a close kin of discouragement is fear.You can't wish a change away. Your life would become more engaging and bountiful, when you can let go of your fear.

"Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight.
Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day."
-- Jim Rohn

Fear of failure should act as a constant impetus for our quest of success. Our own experiences can teach us a lot. Introspection allows us to see something that we have overlooked or fear to admit for a long time. There are several psychological theories like the "Butterfly effect", "Murphy's Law". These law show how fragile a man's confidence is and how frightened he is to do something without talking about the results his action could bring to him. A person without doubt is very comfortable in the surroundings in which he grew up. He/She is fostered in a protective shell by parents, teachers, kins so that when we break free we can stand on own. We cannot expect the shielding to protect us long. When we break the shackles and enter the new horizon,

People who are passionate about growing are never afraid of a change. To them change is simply another way of taking charge and living fully. Irrelevant of their positions in life, they know that it is of utmost importance to keep an open mind and be alert in spirit. For nothing in life ever stays the same. See yourself emerging from fear/change wholesome, peaceful and invincible. Feel the joy of being in charge and the triumph of knowing the fear is only a shadow.

Several psychologists have come up with their own theories for controlling fear. But human mind is something that can spring a surprise anytime. For these are the same fear that haunts me. I really hope I along with a host of my batchmates travel a long distance with the hope that we can be successful and I really hope we can overcome the impediments, fears and achieve our goals.
