The Joy Of Creation And Success - Part 1

Only a person full of positive energy can do something constructive in his life. There are many challenges in the path of creation. So, many people only think and discuss to do something in their life, but they are not ready to take any step further because they are afraid of challenges. When you move in any direction, you have to face resistance.

There are many resistance and speed breakers come when driving a car on the road. A person always has to keep an eye on the road while driving, his eyes are constantly on alert until he reaches the destination, his hands control the steering and provide direction to the car and his feet control the accelerator and the brake. The need can come at any time and he has to sit alert only then he can reach his destination.

The above example is very simple to understand as we are used to it. The same principle applies when a person starts his journey to do something creative in his life. He has to start the journey alone where the path is completely unknown. He has to clear the pebbles on the roads, which means he has to take care of the speed and overcome the obstacles on the path. He has to show his alertness every time like a driver cannot sleep, similarly, such a person cannot keep his mind in the sleep zone till he reaches the destination.

He has to select the direction very carefully on these unknown paths where there are not any signboards. He should be courageous enough to face the obstacles and not feel frustrated when his vehicle gets stuck in a traffic jam (serious obstacles) and its speed gets slow.

As a vehicle, the pace of life is never the same. Sometimes its speed is high, sometimes its speed is slow, sometimes it has to face a speed breaker, and sometimes it gets stuck in jam. While travelling in a car and proceeding toward our destination, we don't complain and don't get disheartened when the speed gets slow or it stuck in a jam because we know that the situation will not remain the same, it will change soon.

Many times, we face such types of situations while travelling, but when such things start happening in life, people feel frustrated and they start taking tablets of depression because they are not ready to accept that their journey of life which was running fast, suddenly slows down. Now it is facing resistance and there seems to be no end to speed breakers, it seems that the journey has frozen now.

They start comparing it with other vehicles which are running fast. Many of them start saying that look, once I had overtaken other vehicles many miles before but now it has overtaken me and I am stuck in such a quagmire that now there is no way out.

They forget that they still have a brain that has decision-making power, they have eyes that can identify paths, their hands are still on the steering to select the direction and their feet can still run and has the ability to control the accelerator and brakes. Don't forget that your vehicle is still intact and now has become much stronger.

Just as no traffic jam stays on the road forever, in the same manner, life always moves on. The person who understands how to drive a vehicle properly, ultimately reaches his destination. A person who knows when to use the accelerator and when to use the brakes. A person who is always attentive because a small mistake can lead to an accident. A person who does not despair when the vehicle of his life gets stuck in a traffic jam, but he has the ability to pull him out of such situations, and not drop him in the middle of the way. Only such a person can do something constructive in his life.
