Fear of Missing Out..!!

This very morning I came across this article which talks about the types of motivation . The good, the bad and the best motivators in the world. And I strongly believe that nothing can keep you running in the absence of that inner fuel of purpose, desire, thirst and excitement.

You know, I have thought about it a number of times. And there are a lot many people who asked me about my fears. I have been fearless for the most of my life, I don't fear almost anything in life but whenever I think about this word, the single biggest fear I always find myself struggling with is the "Fear of Missing Out" -- missing out even a single glittering chance of jumping of the cliff; the cliff of uncertainty, challenge, nuance, bizarre and what not.. There are so many different things to do in this world and a tonnes of experiments to be done and the fear of not being able to participate/witness even any one of them is daunting.

Somebody has said:
There is no telling how many miles you will have to run while chasing a dream..!!

But I have no fear of the number of miles, what I fear is to fail to experience participating in one of the races in life. People recommend of not settling down in the comfort zone and to break those shackles once they get tied up. But, I am among those bunch of people who fear that they will get stuck in the comfort zone if they don't keep moving, rather running, I don't care if this constant running would make me pant. I fear that thought of comfort, that nightmare of monotony, that wind of purposelessness, the night of sinking challenge ship and everything else in those lines..

Why do we all die to live, when we actually live to die..!!

It’s been a while since we, humans, last felt the air of content moving through the surface of our body, penetrating deep within our souls, healing the bruises and scars which were unattended for quite a long time now. All that we keep thinking of all the time is ‘Oh Man..!! I achieved this …What’s Next on the list to conquer..!!’.

Life is not a race to be won, an exam to be in the topper’s list, a brutal battle to fight for each and every day, Why can’t we keep things simple? Why don’t we just let this Life be nothing else but Life. What’s wrong in that name? I feel it sounds great this way.

For instance:

When a newly born baby is still toddling with the sunshine smile on his face, someone would not fail to make a remark with that grin on his face ‘Enjoy your childhood as much as you can, it’s just the beginning, you have lots to face and miles to go’.

When a freshman joins a company in which you are working right now, whether your workplace is good or not or the thought that person you just met with is friendly or not will be the second one on the list. The first thing which will pop up in your mind is either ‘Welcome to hell, come and screw yourself  as I do every day..!!’ or ‘ Does not he think too much of himself, an over-smart and overrated chap..!!’

In both the examples just narrated above, be it that sweet innocent child of Christ or the new colleague of yours in the later part

He might not understand what you just said to yourself or thought of while looking at him but don’t you think he is human too. We all keep blowing the trumpet of body language, comprising the 80% of all modes of human to human communication. Believe me if that is the case, you just gave someone, a reason to have an Err..!! feeling too.

Try to look at each morning with a rejuvenated spirit of love and an everlasting deep sense of human emotion, which would make life simple, smooth and easy. I will conclude it with the following lines, extremely close to my heart:

A ray of hope,

took me through

the zigzag row,

where a drop of dew,

smiles with the silvery luster

Just hope, one day

that sunshine serene

will lit up your face

and let it glow..!!

Think beyond the domain of losing and winning, even the sweetest of all wines would lose its taste, the prettiest flower will give up life one day, for each and everything is mortal with a manufacturing and expiry date of every joy, sorrow, emotion and not to forget, life as well.
