Why do we live this moment? We need a pinch of motivation, to do anything in life. To work, we need salary as motivation. To perform our favorite art, we need appreciation as motivation. Even to eat more, we need some real tasty food as motivation. So what is the motivation for us to live? What is that which drives us from inside? Why do we survive on this mega planet which spins at 1000 miles per hour without even thinking about it? It is the thirst for a better tomorrow which does the trick. A tomorrow which will be better. A tomorrow where you will get what you need. A tomorrow where you will be the person whom you want to be. But as we grow up, we lose both the motivation and purpose to live. We just live! In fact to be precise we survive. Hence when we face an unexpected problem and sometimes unbearable pain, we breakdown. People crash to such an extent they end their lives. But should we collapse? should we reach to that magnitude of low spirit that we take our own life? If you are currently in such a position, where you are worn out and thinking about how to overcome the current mess in your life, this article is for you.
Life is a gift. Life is beautiful. It all started with the collision of two stars. The collision gave birth to millions and trillions of stars. Out of all random possibilities, there was this one star which emitted few rocks. These rocks later become planets, and amazingly one planet had all the possibilities to support life. Life sprang on that planet. From one cell through multiplication and division, which is both biologically same, and it colonized in a large scale. Thousands of gigantic species fought for the top grid in the ecology pyramid. And out of blue, a meteor struck and destroyed the most majestic creatures which was prevailing at that point of time. Still it was not enough to destroy all the life. Smaller in size but cleverer animals began to bud on earth. Out of thousands of species, one! Just one type developed something called sixth sense.
Over the centuries, that kind used that extraordinary talent to invent and create unbelievable, fictitious devices, buildings, theories and what not. Imagine you are standing in a queue to be born on earth without any of these gifts. Easily with quintillion other humans who are supposed to be born before or after you. What do you think is the possibility for you to be born here? And what do you think is the possibility for you to have all the gifts and spectacular parents and relatives? I guess the possibility for that is very well negligible. But still here you are, using easily hundreds of those inventions, on earth, living. Is it not miraculous? Your life is nothing less than astounding.

We do not realize and appreciate the value of something when we have it. There is a story about african diamonds. English who invaded Africa, found the native kids playing with small marbles. But those marbles were very different from the stones which they have seen in their countries. They were much transparent, more strong and flashy even when it is dusty. Fascinated the English men took those marbles and studied to find out they are actually first class diamonds. If the africans had any knowledge of what they were playing at that time, we would have to change a lot of chapters in the history we know. Same way, if only we realize the valuable gift we are trusted with, people might later study our history.
A sportsmen, a dedicated sportsmen, on the field will face lot of troubles to attain his goal. Imagine a football player trying to score his first goal. Even if all the eleven players try to obstruct him from scoring his goal, he wouldn't stop. Whether he scores the goal or not, does not matter. What matters is, he is never going to give up. Let him fail for the hundredth time from scoring, still he will not give up. All the troubles, all the failures he faces on the field, does not stop him. There will be demotivation, there will be disappointment, he will be depressed, he will be injured. But nothing will come in between him and his objective. Why because that is the purpose of his life. Life is like a wild river. You better get your vessel ready or you have to go where life takes you. Be warned, life is a strict teacher. It will try to sink you, play roller coaster with you. The purpose of your life is what is going to save you. It will act like your own boat. You must only hold to it really tight, regardless of any trouble. Then no matter what hardship you face in life, you have that "something" which will keep you going. I want to quote my favorite dialogue from Rocky, "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you're hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward." And to move forward we need to understand that, the blow which we got now, is not the end of our life. Its just a part of it. Life is not going to end until we achieve what we aspire.
Problems in human life comes in more variety than Kwality walls ice cream.
There was this king, he wanted to rule all the world. What is new in that? Well he did not want to rule them in a dictator kind of way, but he wanted to improve people's life. And he almost did it. He started from his homeland and invaded country by country and covered almost half of the existing civilizations by 320 BC. His name is alexander, Alexander the great. He invaded India by 326 BC. At that time, it is believed that his army was greatly shaken seeing the completely different animals which were present in the subcontinent, different warfare methods, alien climate, e.t.c Yet Alexander bravely led the army from front. Not only did he lead the army, riding his horse, he went face to
Hope is the key! To be more relative with the above script, hope is the fuel to run the boat on this life river. Just have infinite hope! You can go places on your boat. The problems you have now, whatever it can be, love-failure, less marks, kicked out from office, spouse is not understanding, whatever it is. It is just a tide! A tide which is trying to shake you. But you hold still! Keep your hope steady.
