“Our circumstances answer to our expectations and the demand of our natures.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.”
~ John Lubbock
Many of us experience this very often but we seldom realize that it’s actually happening. It’s like when we need to know something and ‘the thing’ comes around we absorb it like a sponge, and when we are not looking for, then we just make a gesture that we are getting it but we actually do not take any anything. Right from my MBA I always wanted to learn trading, and trust me I really tried hard to do so. Every body who does it knows that learning the basic steps is a piece of cake. It all occurred when I was challenged by one of my coworker that how much money we can make every week. She was well advanced of me and that too in all together in a different economy, where I hardly knew the name of the common companies. Still it was a piece of cake to learn it and being more cautious and excited about it soon I started performing better than her. I did not realized it until I was reading the book “The Education of an Accidental CEO” where he mentions that in spite of being on the operation floor for many times as the marketing guy, he found himself to ne a naïve to what is happening there, when he landed there as the head of the operation guy. And suddenly he picked up everything as he was looking for these informations to execute from his current position.
This being understood, to get something or to learn something we have to have the desire first. Many small things teach us every day that you do not get something really good until you really desire and work towards it. (Sometimes in something which can be totally controlled by luck will fall under exception, but I do not agree that there could be something like this)
Everybody has dreams and they are really good and great dreams, many of us just accepts that that’s not possible or somehow some way it’s just a dream and it’s really not possible to achieve it. How tough could be to chase the dream is well explained in Paul Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’. How ever this book also explains how exciting is to follow the dreams, how nature conspires for you to be successful IF you attempt for it and ultimately how it feels when you achieve it.
When a person lives discontented from dreams, energy wanes and the days begin to be more about survivals than significance. Nothing animates people like chasing down a dream the hope of a better future fuels people to give their best efforts. In between our busy days either we forget our dreams or ignore then, prioritizing many other over them in life. Find that link between the dream and energy and you will see the magic.
DREAMS
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up?
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
~ Langston Hughes
