I just got an email from a site,
which allows you to write emails to the future you.
In that, I
had written a lot of things that I was insecure about 2 years back, when it was
my first day in the college. And I was surprised because all of those insecurities have come true. I am wondering if this is an extreme
case of intuition gone right, or a case of presumptions beliefs and insecurities that you surround yourself creating a cloud of doubt and suspicion inside you to ruin you to the core, to
the extent that your efforts seem dented and half-hearted.
In a book called Harry potter, I remember
reading “Harry, never forget that what the prophecy said was only significant
because Lord Voldemort made it so.” I can relate to it
so much right now. It’s as if I had prophesized for myself, that these adversities will happen, and it’s as if I started acting on that same belief (that they will happen), and that belief ate up all my efforts, restricted my imagination of
how not to let the Prophecy come true.
Similar to this, and from a totally
unrelated sector, somebody recently told me how whatever you declare to the
universe, comes true because universe conspires to make it happen. It’s as if I
declared that I would fail, in relationships, in friendship, career-wise, and
that insecurity made it happen.
I don’t know if you are able to
relate to what I am saying, but I’ll end up on something that you might
understand.
Take my advice, and don’t
restrict yourself to the boundaries that a certain fear, an inferiority complex
creates around you. Declare to the universe what you want, and if not the
universe strives to make it happen, that declaration will atleast help you make
it happen, to put in whole hearted efforts into that declaration. Pessimism has
worked fine for me in the past; I always took the worst case scenario and
strived to convert into the best case. But Pessimism could only bring me this
far, now it has turned back onto me to leave me with “I am being victimized”
attitude. Now it’s time for optimism, hope, passion and determination. I am not
telling you to go into the war without a fall-back option, but I think
fall-back options only keep you from making full efforts.
How I now wish I hadn’t thought
of these adversities, then I wouldn’t have feared them, and I would have lived
as a free bird, striving, taking each day as it comes. But I guess it’s never
late to start with good habits…
