I know it’s very clichéd but the only way I can think of starting this post is with SRK dialogue from DDLJ when he tells Farida Jalal that he will not run away with Kajol; for his mother always said to him – “beta, zindagi ke har mod par tumhe do raaste milenge… ek sahi… ek galat. Galat raasta bohat asaan hoga, tumhein apni taraf kheechega. Aur sahi raasta bohat mushkil hoga. Us mein bohat si musibatein, bohat si pareshaniyaa hongi. Agar tum galat raaste pe chaloge, to ho sakta hai ki shuruat mein tumhein bohat kamyiabi mile, bohat khushiyan mile. Magar ant mein tumhaari haar hogi. Aur agar sahi raaste pe chaloge, to bhale shuruat mein kadam kadam pe tumhein thokre milen, musibaton ka saamna karna pade, pareshani ho. Magar ant mein, humesha jeet hogi.”
So true.
When faced with a problem, we most often chose the solution that is the easy one; compromising on the one that is the correct one. But then we wonder, would the outcome have been different if I had chosen the correct one? If one has to be in pain anyways, then why not be in pain and be correct as well? Why be in pain and then get even more pained regretting choosing this path as it is painful? Rather chose the correct path knowing that it is painful. At least it will give you the courage to face the pain that you know lies ahead.
Sometimes, it’s good to be correct. It’s good to know that you had the courage to be correct. It’s good to be hurting because of your own action rather than anyone else’s.
I lost today.
But it’s never too late, until you're dead they say.
So today I move from the wrong way to the right way. Today I write this here to remind every time I wonder if it was the right decision choosing this right way – that yes it was; to bring me back into focus every time I waver.
Today, I turn Right.
Today, I move onto the correct path. Today I begin my journey towards the day I will definitely win.
Until next time…
