I believe that the choices we take, make us the person we are. There is never a situation or an issue in life that doesn't present itself without options. But yet, we let ourselves assume that we have been helplessly put in a situation that we did not wanted to be in. Because, as humans we always tend to find excuses....excuses to blame someone/something other than ourselves as we are afraid of losing.
There is a very thin line between winning and losing. Wining is also not giving up your sincere attempts on reaching your goals and losing is just giving up hope. Once we realize this simple truth, we no longer are afraid of failing and no longer in search of excuses. If we can truly believe in that one dream that's close to our heart and put in all the right efforts to make it true, it's going to come true. All, we got to do is believe, be brave and not give up.
When you lose something that meant everything to you...it gives you a power...a power that gives you the courage to start over all over again, this time without the fear of falling down. For reasons good or bad, my life so far, has taught me that there is nothing I could lose without gaining something else. And that there is nothing I could gain with the fear of losing.
Choices are just that.....an opportunity that gets you to the point, where life either offers you what you wanted or what you needed. It's just a win-win situation, all the time. But I hated making choices, since I was a kid. It all started with a candy/cookie, coke/Pepsi, movie/music, science/maths, arranged marriage/love marriage and so on. It wasn't easy to decide but again it din't really matter much until I realized how each of this little choice I made, ended up making me the person I am. And once I got aware of the fact that the choices I made, gave me my unique identity it just got terribly difficult to make one....especially when life started to offer those serious options like masters/job, India/US, career/love, career/dreams and so on........which would ultimately shape not just me as a person but the life I have to live.
I unlike most people chose what I loved to do and not what practically seemed sensible. I almost had everything figured out and then I chose to leave everything behind and start afresh. It could have been the most stupid decision of my life....but maybe this is what I truly want to do in life...face my fears and having that dream, is just like having that tiny speck of light at the end of the tunnel. It's going through this tunnel that really matters and I am going to not give up this path I chose for myself. Most importantly, I have to stop finding excuses for taking choices that put me at this phase of life where in, facing my fears is inevitable instead of one that offered a secured-constant-easy life.
And if you are wondering what my fears are....it is the fear of Uncertainty.
The uncertainty of finding true love, the uncertainty of believing in true love, the uncertainty of finding a career I love, the uncertainty of fulfilling my goal and so on................And the only way to get over it is by taking choices that exposes me to uncertainty that is for certain. :)

You can share with me what your fears are, if any?
