Some
people believe – to live is to suffer. The true fact is that life is full of
obstructions, barriers, hindrances or in other words ‘OBSTACLES’. But if you
find a path with no obstacle, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere. We fail to
realize that most of our obstacles would melt away if instead of worrying about
them we make-up our mind to walk boldly through them.
Let me give you a small example of a butterfly. One day a man found a cocoon and he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through it. In his innocence the man took a pair of scissors and snipped remaining bit of the cocoon. And you know what happened after that, the butterfly had to spend the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings and it was never able to fly. The man did not realize that the restricting cocoon and struggled required for the butterfly to get through the small opening of the cocoon were nature’s ways of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it is ready for flight. From above example, it is very evident that sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If nature allows us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us and we would not be as strong as we could have been.
Did
you know that Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam as a boy wanted to fly right from the age of
6? Dr. Kalam applied for the Indian Air Force but got rejected in the last
stage of medical examination. But that rejection did not demoralize Dr. Kalam
and he moved on with his passion for flying machines, designed several rockets
and after so many years the boy who wanted to fly, did fly in a SUKHOI-30 MKI
in an official capacity and as the president of India.
All
great men of world struggled hard, really hard and overcame all obstacles in
fulfillment of their mission. God has made human beings in such a way to
conquer environment, solve problems and achieve goals and we find no real
happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
Remember…………..
Don’t
be a coward, fearful and weak,
Be
the last one to quit and first one to speak,
Don’t
hide your face from light of the day,
Be
courageous in life and stay that way,
Be
wise and courageous, bold and brave;
And
life will be worth living,
From
your birth till your grave.
