It’s very certain that these days we are all facing truly uncertain #times.
Having no clarity about something for which you have been
preparing a lot by sacrificing so much, is indeed stressful. It is depressing to know that all the effort
that you are putting makes no sense at this moment. Sometimes it feels that
what’s the point of working so hard when things are so uncertain in life –
including life itself – thanks to #Corona (virus).
But this is an ordinary way of thinking. This way of
thinking is for those who lack self-confidence and clarity about what they want
in their lives. Uncertain future affects those people more who think that they
deserve a certain future with definite outcomes because either they think they
are intelligent or privileged; or they think that they are working too hard for
it and are sure to earn it. Yes, you must be optimistic while pursuing a goal,
but at the same time accept the fact that life is not always smooth.
The point is, while chasing success, you should be mentally
prepared to face failures and uncertainties. The present phase is such a moment
which you must accept and make peace with it without affecting your progress.
Life is always
uncertain and it’s meant to be uncertain. If everything was certain, life
would be very boring. Perfect order in the world poses no opportunity for
growth.
Success comes to you only when you actually accept
uncertainty and is undeterred by it..
Life has always been uncertain for you. At the age of 12 you
wanted to become a policeman. At the age of 16 you wanted to become a pilot. At
the age of 18 you wanted to join Indian Army. And at the age of 20 you wanted
to join a big MNC and earn a very fat salary. Since childhood you have dealt
with uncertainties. It’s just how strongly you want something that matters
most.
Right now don’t think
about tomorrow. You have so much to do today and you know it. Finish them
first. Go on finishing pending tasks one by one. You don’t have to meditate to
calm your mind. All you need to do is to stop thinking about the future. The
best way to stop thinking about the future is to get busy today. Get very busy
today. So busy that it should kill your appetite for food and appetite for procrastination.
The best way to deal with uncertain times is to fully
surrender to a trusted Guru and do what that Guru asks you to do with 100
percent faith.
Take care of your health. Stay indoors. Stay safe. And keep
smiling. Don’t spend much of this life thinking about what you don’t know i.e.
uncertainty.
