What's my destined path in life?
We are on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything, and yet noting being the same. A good example is the external environment around us which is increasingly characterized by acute and apparent paradoxes; the paradox of increasing global wealth but an increasing gap between the rich and the poor, the paradox of huge strides in science, technology, and medicine but at the same time the world being held hostage to lack of basic infrastructure of health. More and more everyday, we are aimlessly searching for something to change the path our mind somehow found. It seems like we are running with no particular direction through a path and eventually ending up in a road that looks remotely familiar... so we started to think "which way-uhm the left or the right" but guess what; it all looks good... damn! I need the way to turn still.
What exactly do we need to make the right decision for our own destined path? I am not really sure... quite disappointing right? Well my parents had brought me up with the notion and the value of "Faith and Hope." While growing up, my father had told me not to settle for the second best and that the worst kind of death is when your "Faith" dies. Quite impressing but a very good friend of mine have argued that things happen coincidentally, and have asked me times without number if fate really exist? Don’t ask me please; or maybe someone out there really know.
Do God and satan both speak to us in our consciousness or unconsciousness and in the dawn of the day when we wake up? Like the whisperings across crowded bars that make us look over our shoulder, or the weird way someone's horns catch the corner of our ears (retina) keeping us paranoid while trying to imagine what they want or perhaps what they want us to do. I have experience to realize that maybe what we need to make the right decision for our destined path in life is a "sign." well maybe not, but what is "sign" exactly... the big green reflector sign or the green board on the expressway? That will tell us "five years till children," four years till marriage, this ramp is closed because of danger, full time employment on the right, and perhaps happiness and prosperity on the left. If a sign can ever come this clear, will you ever miss the exit? Will you ever be lost? Well I will rather have a moving map that tells me change school in couple of months, go to university of Illinois Urbana Champaign, take the ramp on the right, accept this particular job offer, go for internship in Japan next summer" or what not... damn, I am sure I'll be like uhmmm really? Are you sure? But I want to go to University of Michigan and so on. I don’t know, I actually think you (Map) are wrong. This cant possibly be the next exit, you got to be kidding me!!!
Well I guess a moving map or big green reflector sign will most probably not work that much as we will continue to doubt. So I resolve the matter in the comfort of my mind and I find an answer to make the right decision for my own destined path in life. This is the power of my "vision" which encompasses my strong "Faith and Hope" and the indomitable power of the human mind... With all these living in me and in my words, actions and day to day activities; I believe I have something worth much more than a sign to lead me or give me the strength to get to the path that I have chosen and not just follow it but to see me through it successfully.
