Water- As A Guide Towards Success
I was going through some page on Facebook, when I paused by a sentence saying, “We Humans are like water”. I couldn’t get the deep meaning at that instance. But later I realized that yes, that’s true, we do resemble to water.
Let’s pause for few seconds to evaluate water. Let’s analyze it. Nay, I am not talking about its chemical composition but about the way it purls and flows.
See, Water always takes the path of the least niggling resistance. Whenever you pour a drop of water onto a surface; it will always flow towards the point where it needs to use its least amount of energy. Water will always continue flowing to the lowest point, there’s no other opinion, right? Or have you ever seen water flowing up the hill to get to a lower point?
That’s it. That’s exactly my point. We Humans do want to reach somewhere good and high, but without using our inner energy, without using the strength within us that can help achieve something really big. We aspire to be somewhere better, we wish to be successful, we want to be known, but we take the path of the least resistance. Isn’t it so?
This means that as soon as most of us encounter a mountain we will not use our energy to flow up the hill approaching towards the success and we will instead stay at our current position until some external force pushes us to move (to speak in terms of the water).
My point is that with everything that we do there comes a point when we get that ‘special’ moment, a moment when everything just clicks and makes a perfect sense, when everything goes just according to our plan and when it seems like there is no other person as lucky as we are. The blind black curtain is lifted up and we can have a crystal clear vision and understanding of what we are doing and what we want to do. We then know what we are doing and can really focus our efforts into perfecting our skill and becoming a master at our craft.
See, I know that "Our thoughts take the wildest flight, even at the moment when they should arrange themselves in thoughtful order." But only when our consciousness is totally focused on the moment we are in, we can receive whatever lesson that moment has to offer. Once we can see, touch and feel our objective, all we have to do is pull back and put all our strength behind it, and we'll hit our target every single time." However, that moment can sometimes take months or years of trying before it finally arrives and this is the main reason why many of us quit!
I say, don’t quit, hold on a little more, your “moment” can arrive anytime. And someone rightly said, and I quote, ‘quitters never win; winners never quit.’
