Face challenges before you Rise !
I had always wanted to find my anchor but I ended up being one. Life as always has done its job and left me with more questions to answer but as usual the questions facing me are different and there is pleasure in searching and finding the answers like any good treasure hunt. Come to think of it I always liked treasure hunts or any adventure or mystery game.
Somehow every time I face my weaknesses in their face my will to live and my love for life become even stronger. The fascinating part about life is that it is made up of the pair of opposites like joy & sorrow, virtues & vices, strengths & weaknesses which actually contribute to an individual's growth. And it is only in the realization of one that you can realize the other and hence learn.
But the problem that one faces is that of humility. Taking weakness for an example unless one is humble enough to acknowledge his human nature and subsequently his human weaknesses one cannot convert it to his strength and there is no shame in doing that. In fact to the contrary it requires huge amount of courage.
Different circumstances are placed before the self to bring to its awareness a particular human weakness, accept it and then convert it to its opposite value i.e. strength. In order to find yourself you need to loose yourself but like every thing in life it is a temporary phase whose value lies in its experience. One cannot always be strong because if you are strong all the time you are God and not human.
A person walking down the road happens to chance upon a rare and valuable diamond. He knows that possessing it will add value to him and it has been put in his path for that purpose. But to pick up the diamond he needs to stoop down. If he refuses to bend because that would demean him, that HE of all people can never put himself in such a position then he has foolishly let himself be ruled by his ego. It is a convenient escape route from facing a little temporary discomfort but results in the loss of something far more valuable.
