Answer:
The WILL to move on is the only thing in LIFE that matters.
Life is a journey of ups and downs, good times and bad times. There are time when I feel at the top of the world and times when I just want to give up everything and dedicate my life to meditation. These emotions are brought in due to my definition of what is a success and what is a failure.
An achievement of a goal -getting a desired job, moving to a country, getting higher than expected annual salary increments, getting a promotion - would all lead to a feeling of euphoria. Being happy to achieve my goals, was the definition of success.
On the other hand, anything short of my expectations was always disappointing - more so, when the factors were out of my control. Like:
- moving jobs, getting an offer in Singapore and then the government rejecting the visa application,
- staying apart from my wife for more than an year when a technical mistake led to my German visa being rejected,
- being unemployed for 6 months in Germany,
- not being able to achieve the success within the timeline that I planned for.
- losing very close relatives to road accidents and suicides,
- All of these led to situations where life was full of frustration and extreme emotions. While those times were tough, they certainly gave me life’s best lessons.
Life goes on.
At the end of the day, what matters is what did I learn from all those situations and how I can do my part to make life better for those around me.
Life’s journey made me realise the importance of living in the moment and making the best of what is present right now. The happy times, like bad times, dont last - sounds cliched. But I have seen my cousins, affected by tragic loss of their family members, come out stronger and more peaceful after such events.
Keeping these people as mentors, if they can move on, then failures or disappointments in fields of career, studies or life, should not be the reason to hold me back.
What matters is that I live a meaningful life while creating positive impact on other’s life.
