life is weird .. really weird . just when you are soaring in your happiness , gloating with arrogance and looking down upon others unconsciously ( or even knowingly ) , it brings you down with a huge thud almost in a way as if to say " yeah .. u trying to be too smart eh ?? .. wake up !! . who gave you the right to feel at the top ?? "
and u faall .suddenly you no longer are the boy in your office secretly gloating over the fact that you have the hottest girlfriend . she has left you .. and that too for a colleague who doesn't look half as good as you do .. or so you thought . maybe you find out that your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse is cheating on you . you feel hurt and exploited and think about the various ways in which you can get back at them . where had you lacked ??? . and everybody used to say that you two are the bestest couple the "made-for-ever" types and you had failed . how about another fiasco - the job that you thought was meant for you lands in someone else's kitty and you are left explaining to the hundreds of people ( to whom you had already told about the job in your euphoria ) about why you did not get it when you were so sure about it and why on earth are you STILL unemployed even though you are able . people sympathize with you and even pass snide comments about what happens when you count your chickens before they hatch .
ouch !!!! that HURTS !!
i hope you have got my drift by now . what i have verbally painted in front of you is an absolute disaster . something that shakes you from the comforts of being at the top and brings you down . now .. the million dollar question is .. what do you do ?? the rosy glasses through which you viewed the world has broken .. life has shown you the mirror . What next ? suicide ? isn't it blasphemous ?? revenge on the person who took it away .. ? slip into depression ...... ?? that seems your safest bet .. or come back with a storm .. a positive one of course . it is said that a leopard takes few steps backward before taking the final large leap . you can choose to be that leopard but of course it will be a herculean task . getting up , dusting yourself , moving on ... putting the pieces back , facing your demons , getting your act together . yes it will be taxing , people will say things behind your back.. ( GOODNESS GRACIOUS WHY DON'T THEY JUST SHUT THE F**K UP ??!!!!!!!! ) but it will all be for the good or even for the better . and this time your feet will be firmly planted in the ground which is really worth it, trust me . i agree modesty is another confusing thing , the moment you think you have it , voila .. you have lost it !!! but the idea is to to have a firm understanding of your strengths and weaknesses , be grateful for all that you have (because someone out there is in a worse position then you and would gladly trade lives with you) and then move on ahead in life . and before you know it .. you have risen , reincarnated .. like a phoenix from its ashes .
