Running out of the retrospecting realm

Have I lost IT!? Have I lost my enthusiasm?! Have I lost my zeal, my zest to live a wonderful life?! Have I begun doubting my abilities as a leader, as an innovator, as a thinker, as someone who can win against any odds posed by the machiavellian elements of an unsuspecting future?

These questions have been plaguing my harangued mind since the last debacle that frustrated my sense of purpose and forced my to contemplate hard about my prospects. I felt more than just pinched when I realized that I was going to be one those rats who would be left behind in yet another random rat race that had insecured little rodents behaving in a way which would make Scooby Doo seem the emperor of all courageous souls there ever have been! But then, everyone of us who retrospects a lot keeps worrying about the forebordings of an alluring yet anonymous future. But then, I have also realised that I am not a rat. By no means am I being disrespectful to those industrial little critters, but since when has a homo sapien started feeling like a rodent?

Yes, I do have my set of ambitions for my self, my family, my love and my fellow men ( and women! ;) ), but I will not let them intimidate my individualism just because of a random roadblock. But at the same time I shall not back out from an engaging combat.
I know I have never lived up to my potential. I know I have lost certain crucial matches of my short yet continuing life. But then, excellence is not a trait. It is achieved by habit. And the habit stays when u start winning. You start winning when you keep trying and you commence trying when you desire your wants.

So let me not procrastinate and begin by wanting. Wanting to live a full life. Wanting to love my sweetheart even more. Wanting to achieve improbable targets! And yes, probably one day, I would also want to stop wanting!!


Try I must and try I will and I shall keep trying till I can!
