I wonder what life would
be like without the twists and turns, the slopes and mountains conquered; the
exhilaration experienced when reaching the top! Those who have experienced
these, have physical, social, spiritual, financial and emotional scars that
make their victory memorable. This is being able to pick oneself from one or
all of these experiences and turning them into important stepping stones in
crossing over and taking decisive direction forward.
I have noted that some
people do not have financial challenges, but end up in emotional prisons
because of relationships issues. Others
are poor but have blissful relationship with college drop-outs. Others were
raised in spiritually rich families, but ended up being social thorns of the
society because they wanted freedom in wrong places. Still others found themselves in the wrong
side of the law because of seeking financial success by enriching themselves through
illegal strategies. If you have
experience one or some of challenges cited above and stayed on the right side
of the law, you have endured the journey of life and reached your mountaintop. This
list leaves those who have no issues or challenges; in this context, we call
these blessed.
There are people at cross
roads who need to make informed decisions to reach their personal goals without
having to go through painful experiences and challenges. Most of these are young adults. They may have indirectly tasted a few
challenges of life; but they need to walk with somebody who care enough to
offer information and skills that could empower them to chart their way
forward. If you are one of the blessed with less painful challenges; it would
be a great honor if you could tell us how you avoided these challenges. You see, at times the mind works against us.
One cannot even start to climb one’s mountain if one has not crossed over the
current issues. I hope you can identify
with this dilemma…!
