Another Musing
Every person has her own set of strengths & weaknesses. The reason for the failure of the most persons is that their weaknesses overshadow & dilute their strengths. Most of us fail due to lack of drive or motivation, commitment, passion, a burning desire or whatever you would like to call it. Actually, it’s like this. You have only one or two problem areas which mitigate all your positive traits & efforts. They expand like a balloon belittling the latter ones. And this entire phenomenon is nothing but an illusion & deception, which takes place due to our ignorance, lack of awareness & negativity. We just need to give a deep thought to all this, thus enabling us to identify everything clearly & visibly.
But the story doesn’t end here. In fact, the whole fight starts here. After recognizing this clear & present danger, the next step is to accumulate the complete knowledge about the weakness(ess) & then, launching offensive against it/them. But again, this step doesn’t allow you to be lenient & careless. The old devil won’t give up easily. After loosing first battle, he will come back like Mohammed Gauri. So you need to be on constant vigil, practice caution and be on your guard every moment. You have to fight tooth & nail against these demons, only this can assure a great victory. But make no mistakes; I’ve deliberately not used the phrase ‘permanent/everlasting victory’ in place of great victory because there is nothing permanent. So even after winning this war you must continue your vigil against any negatives, forever.
One more thing, merely eliminating evils wont be fruitful, you also need to intensify & increase your strengths.
