An un-manageable world

Yes, amidst every single manageable piece of news published in our world is the left out unmanageable piece that did not become the ink in print. Why do we project our unhappiness unto others? There are some questions that make their way into my head quite often. One of the many such is finding ways to rediscovering my potential and being content to the point of happy. I know there are a thousand theories about how being content is the real happiness and that happiness is only real when shared, which I also hugely believe in but at times my cynical side refuses to focus upon.

So how did we really learn to manage things? Is this one of those vague terms that haunts people after a certain age? Most importantly, has age got anything to do with the frequent occurrence of such questions? I hope not. Just last week, while being on a site visit, I was supposed to climb a very steep stairway that led to the occupied terrace portion of a skyscraper. My initial first few seconds reaction was taking a long breath and then shaking my body a little while saying to myself that I could climb it without being afraid. Know what happened? Not only did I climb that steep stairway but I also stood firmly near the parapet of the building and cast an eyeful glance at the breathtaking imagery from the top. I saw the sea ranging towards an infinite distance with lush green patches visible among the city line. It was an exhilarating experience not just because I had beaten my fear of climbing up that impossibly scary stairway but I had given my heart a reason to believe I could do it when I wanted to do it. That feeling of freedom pumped my blood with a vigorous force, one I was unaware of being in possession.

Things are always manageable! That's what I learnt and relearned again in the past couple of weeks. I will look at this time period as a renaissance era in my life for the rejuvenation it has bought back in my thoughts, attitude and mindset regarding everything. Mostly, I am just thankful to be able to feel this plethora of rediscovered strengths and might I have within me. I had forgotten that. Life truly throws surprises at every stage and how we take them really paves our way forward towards happiness and a discovery of being ourselves!
