things just don’t happen as per ‘plan’. You think you have got things under control but in reality most of it is spiralling out and then it hits at one shot with a big BANG and then you’re like – whaaat? where did this come from?
It was all supposed to be part of the plan and you thought all was going ok and then bam.. all wrong.. and the same story all over again..
This isn’t as per the script. Obviously, left to us, everything would go as per plan or so we think. And there are a hundred factors that could be blamed but at the end of the day, we must make sure that we do all we can to make sure things to go as per plan. Sometimes, the inconceivable happens but it takes some experience and judgement before we can handle those unexpected pitfalls. As the saying goes, ‘Smooth seas do not make fine sailors’..
And if seas are rough for a very long time, let’s keep the faith, be positive and keep giving it our best. At times, it is the case that we look around and we find others around not seeing what we are seeing, not going through what we are going through and there is that niggling doubt – ‘is this as per the big plan?’ ..
I guess that’s the time to chuck it, do what we have to do and move on..
PS: It is difficult to crystallize the learning behind this ‘rant’, if we might call it that.. but internally, its just a point when I know that I’m going to keep at it and smile at it, no matter what.. and be prepared to pay whatever price.. maybe thats a learning in itself – who knows? :)
