“ARE YOU GOING THROUGH IT? OR GROWING THROUGH IT?”

Have you ever come across this question in your life?

“What is the use of my life?” (Sarcastic)

Being a bachelor, I get this question most of the time.

I wanted to discover what exactly LIFE is, so that I can find out my real use of living it.

Dear contest chair and to all those who wonder what LIFE actually is. . Here is my journey to discover “What is Life?”

I wanted to ask this question to someone who has more knowledge than anyone in this world.

These were the results which Google threw at me.

I then realized that this life has not only confused me but even Google.

I then decided to take this question to people from my own circle, so that they can easily relate to my question.

I met my close friend Selva at his home.

[Flashback] To tell about Selva, he is one among the very few engineers who actually aimed at becoming an engineer (Sarcastic). He was such a hard worker. Selva loved his company so much and wished to retire in the same company. But during one appraisal day he received a call from HR.

We remember the discussion he had with manager earlier and we knew it was either going to be “Rain of money or story which is really funny”

But to all our shock (take an emotional tone). SELVA WAS FIRED!!!

Without any pre notification, he was fired in the name of recession. He lost all hopes about his life, couldn’t accept his dreams getting shattered right in front of his eyes. He was stuck in DISAPPOINTMENT and never came out of that moment. Years passed by but yet he kept telling his story of how he was betrayed by his company to everyone who passes by.

I went to him with my question about LIFE.

When I asked him. "LIFE is UNFAIR” he shouted.

“Off-course son, Life is Unfair!” a voice sounded from behind. That was Selva’s father. “Do you think Birds eating Worms is fair? But they do. You can’t deal with what is fair in this unbalanced life”. You don’t have control over everything in your life, but one thing which you have control over, is your own life. It is time to Move on son, I want you to get over this” he said.

His words made me realize that I have chosen a wrong audience to ask my question about LIFE. I then wanted to take this question to a person who had gone through many hurdles to raise us to this level.

I went to my mom and asked my question about LIFE.

“Mom, I am totally confused in sorting out what life is? I got all weird answers about life and nothing sounded satisfactory. I am almost stuck without a solution”.

My mom smiled and said (soft voice). . “Son, Life looked really so positive until your dad suffered by a liver cancer. The day when we lost him, actually thought me the real meaning of LIFE. “LIFE is Inevitable my son, its keeps changing. Sometimes you are UP and sometimes you are DOWN”. All that you have to do is to MOVE ON.

(Voice with confidence) Ladies and Gentlemen that day I discovered what Life is, Life is not actually the horizontal ups and downs that we have look at.

UP'S AND DOWN'S OF LIFE

 Life is actually the vertical view.

"HOLD STRONG AND MOVE ON"

It throws you to the nooks and corners of life. But HOLD STRONG AND MOVE ON. Someday you are going to reach your destination.

Someday the best players couldn't basket a ball. . Someday Sachin can't score a single run. Someday back the best speakers can’t utter a word. But do you think that had stopped them? Imagine if they had sat in a corner feeling for not being able to perform. . Do you think they would have reached their destination? (NOOO - wait for audience nod their head).

Are you still stuck in your life? If so then here is the solution you’re searching for. .

MOVE ON!!!
