Yes, I guess I am LUCKY!

Since it was just September and our Economics course was already in the lead, the teacher started up with a ‘discussion’. Saying she didn’t want to hurry up with the course when we already had so much time left with us.To me it was a real bad idea.The reason? Well, There were two.

Firstly unlike theirs my course was lagging behind, thanks to all the classes I had bunked this month. Secondly I really think (I might sound critical) the people in that class don’t know what discussions mean.(not their fault). Because everything is so much forced, so much cliched, so much fake, passe, and everything so censored, that discussions are not discussions. Their essence gets lost (By the way thats not what i wish to talk about). So when she started up with a topic -DO YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK? I didn’t even bother to look up from the score of work that was lying in the Q for me to attend to.

She was acknowledging different views when this guy (i dont even know his name) who stood up to give his views. What he said was – yes he was really lucky! and satisfied! thats because he said he had got everything he could have asked for. Thats when I did look up and felt like standing and yelling -’blast such a luck!’ What actually hit me that moment over his statement is what I have expressed before: people really dont know what they talk about.

LUCK, DESTINY, etc. These, always, to me have been excuses. For me it is the way Jennifer Love Hewitt has put it in the movie ‘IF ONLY’-”No one creates your destiny, nor any thing forges your luck. Everyone has been given good  and equal enough chances to define their future, contour their destiny, and outline it. And that you do by the ‘choices’ that you make.”

Future is neither decided before you take birth and nor by what you have been provided in life. But more of what you have made out of your life. Yes I say it now ‘I AM LUCKY’. You know why I say the same sentence. The same one I just spelled as absurd? Because this time I know what I am talking about. I made choices I am proud of. What I chose my dream to be. Who I choose as my idol. Who I chose as a friend. What I chose as my integrity. My morals. And essentially – what I chose to be! Yes I say it again. I guess I have made the right choices.They were difficult to make because times are difficult both for me and Aischa and there were moments when we doubted our own verdicts. But right now, at this moment, I respect them and I can say I am proud of them! So now you see? Ultimately no one else is responsible for what I am and who I am right now but myself.

I have nothing but respect for what Sean Covey has got to say-

Whether I fail or succeed will be no man’s doing, but my own!

                       I AM THE FORCE!
