Waiting For The Appointed Time

Waiting For The Appointed Time
There seems to be a severe dearth of happiness in my life at present. This may be a false image of myself I have had in my mind for a long time based on my experiences with life. Everyone else seems to be quite happy and content, and it seems to be only me who has not been able to get any amount of happiness in my life. I wonder how much truth there is in this belief. The grass is always greener on the other side of the wall, it is said. Everyone has one or the other problem in his or her life and it is the expertise with which they manage to conceal everything that determines how the world looks at them. I look at everyone as happy and content because everyone manages to conceal one’s gloom. It is a cover-up of all things dark and gloomy in life with a green carpet that makes up the secret of success in life.

The conflict boils down to the acting skills one has in oneself. Those who are adept in acting are the ones who rule the world. They are the ones who put up a positive picture of themselves whatever may be their inner self. The world salutes only the rising sun; no one ever bothers to look at the setting sun, although both are an important part of life. This way, it is important to create an outlook that promises a positive trend to life. Regardless of what lies beneath a veneer of smiles, the smile on one’s face is the most important part of one’s personality. At the end of the day, it is going to go a long way in determining how the world unfolds itself. A smile on one’s face is going to foster a positive reaction of the world  to whatever stimuli it gets, while even a hint of a few tears is sure to drive away a lot of whatever positive reaction one expected. It is  very important to put up a smile on the face even if one isn’t happy. Of course, this points  to the skills in acting one has.

While the acting skills one has are the major determinants of alleged happiness and satisfaction in life, at the same time, a large quantity of it also banks on one’s fate and destiny. Fate and destiny rule superior over all the efforts one makes in one’s life. One can make all of one’s efforts to counter the tides of fate, but the inscriptions on one’s fate are bound to come true. The script is to be enacted in one way or the other, regardless of one’s efforts to counter its efforts. At the end of the day, it is fate that takes one to don a king’s crown or a pauper’s garments.

In the ideal case, one’s fate should be inclined towards success in life. Very little of one’s efforts towards success in life are to materialise if they don’t collate with the inscriptions on the slate of fate. The problem is that no one knows what is   written in one’s fate till the time it is history. This way, one can only do one’s best to counter the alleged actions of fate; it is taken for granted that one’s fate is always bent on acting against one’s efforts to seek happiness and satisfaction in life. Under this assumption, all of one’s efforts while in the world are aimed against the tirades of fate and destiny.

Fate always seems to be bent on delaying with its share of gifts. Ideally, there shouldn’t be a delay in anything. If fate had something good in store for anyone, it should give it to him or her at that time, and not waited for an auspicious time. There is nothing like an auspicious time for anything. It is only the inability of fate to act as per the points indicating happiness and  satisfaction in the  present moment. If events in life are not conducive to the action of fate, why did it transcribe  such things for itself? This is quite like winning a race even without running it only because on was fated to win it.

This indicates to an inaction on one’s part to run in a race because fate has inscribed success, whether one runs the race or not, the problem is one can never know what exactly is fated for one. It is the greatest mystery in the world, that can‘t be solved even by the most adept detectives. One always directs one’s efforts with the assumption that fate is to counter one’s efforts.  This way, all of one’s efforts in the world are directed to counter the effects of   destiny.

But one’s destiny is not the only determinant of success in the world. A large part of the success one finds in life also banks on one’s aptitude. Everyone is born with a different aptitude, and one must do one’s best to deduce the precise nature of aptitude one has, and one must try to excel in that field. One should always try to find out one’s inclination towards different parts of the world. It is only in this field that one is to find success in any form, but again only if one is destined to find success and happiness in life. Almost all of us are fated to discover quite a bit of happiness and satisfaction in life. Those who can’t discover any amount of it in their lives only have to wait for the appointed time.

I strongly feel the appointed time for happiness and satisfaction to prevail over my life is not very far away. Let us see when it comes.
