If asked the reason for my inactivity in this blog and possibly everywhere else, my long hibernation, or perhaps my aloofness, all I can say is that my ambition caught me. Simply put, when majority of your thoughts are directed towards the ends you want to meet, when all that you explore are ways to meet it, when people start calling you obsessed, and when you have something to prove to yourself, then my friend, all I can say is 'Bon Voyage'.
Ambition is something triggered my events in your life, small or big, which then gradually shapes into a desire. Activities, events, people, all get aligned to this, and then 'things start turning your way'. But then, don't expect that the route with be smooth, but it will certainly satisfy your quench for thrill and adventure. Obfuscated aspects of your personality stare you in the eye. There can't be a better way for self exploration. The pain of sacrifices, the pangs of frustration and the gravity of the risks will no longer poke you. Days and nights glide, minutes to hours, hours to weeks, weeks to months, and you strive tirelessly, with your storehouse of energy. There is no anticipation of success and no fear of failure. All you do is etch out ways to outperform yourself, while nearing the finale.
You end up doing your best, free from "what ifs, buts". The satisfaction is bountiful, the happiness is immense, and you rise in your own eyes, by leaps and bounds. History holds many such examples, of people crossing their limits in a quest of what their limits are.
And as karmayoga puts it, "You do your duty, god shall do the rest". Nothing will be able to efface this experience. You will emerge stronger, if not a winner. The meaning of your life is revealed in the moments you spent defining it. Your actions define your life and your ambitions defines these actions.
Have an ambition! Rise to your potential !
PS: There is a perfect match between what you are, and what you had thought you would be.
