Don’t stop trying!
Some days, I feel lucky crossing life’s hurdles so effortlessly!
And then there are days when my entire body weight shifts its center to my heart, making me feel unusually heavier. Taking just one more step seems impossible.
The waves of anxiety continue to swallow the last traces of positivity within me, leaving me gasping for breath!
Fighting back my darkest fears, I have mastered silent tears.
The logical mind convinces me that anything that has a beginning has to come to an end!
In such a moment of despair, the clock strikes 12:12 am. The universe jolts me back to reality, talking to me in numbers [the same number on the hours and minutes, you see is a sign!]
In a heartbeat, I realize I am not alone. I let go of my second thoughts without holding back. In an instant, I feel lighter like a feather!
When the mind is blank, the subconscious slips in a random quote, and the inner voice whispers in my ears: “Take one more step because it might be the last one needed.”
It feels so surreal! The words force hope to run through my veins, recharging every cell in my body, rejuvenating my faith!
As I sit down now to capture my feelings from last night, I take a break and drift to the side, my cell phone flashes at me: 12:12pm. I told you, the numbers!!
Moments like this make me feel like having a 1:1 conversation with the greater force!! The power beyond imagination constantly finds ways to remind me that I am being followed through the thick and thin! In hindsight, I was never alone! and ever will be!
Sometimes, when we have exhausted all the possible options, giving it all the energy and time we have, we feel helpless.
Like a bird with a broken leg, trapped in a cage. When the hope and desire seems to be far fetched from our reach, there is nothing left to feel but the bitter truth of being caught in a rut with no exit!
With no control over what lies ahead, just dare to keep breathing to try your chance one more time! After all, nothing in life is constant. So are our challenging times and difficult situations!
My wish for you is: Whatever is your emotional state today, please take a moment to look around and be aware of your existence! And dare to take just one more step today- it may as well be the last to your finish line!

PS: When the cage broke open, the bird took off with the other leg, flying to follow its dreams! How silly of the bird to think, it may never be able to fly again!
