Anecdote #18

There always exists an eternal struggle between what to do and what not do, be it career options, matters pertaining to the heart or the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Either people choose the suitable option or they don't and the funny part is that we never do know what is right for us.

I encountered such a situation where I had a meltdown, you see I was preparing for a certain competitive exam but lacked clarity of the fact whether I liked it or not. I was also under a  lot of stress  as balancing my schoolwork with this was turning out to be a burden.

I was extremely confused and maybe still am because I had perfectly mapped my future but it turns out I was meant to follow a different path. At first I couldn't come to terms with it and could not contain my emotions. I was not at all proud of this but on the inside I felt completely helpless and had to let it out.
With the help of my wonderful parents I was back on my feet in no time because the made the right decision for me which was to be patient,  not to worry and to explore. I know now that I will excel at something only if I truly feel that my heart is in it. This realisation comes with time so for that too we need to be prepared, if we want to take on the world, live with joy and warmth then we need to let go so that sooner or later we know what we were born to pursue.
