The Fall...

While climbing the stairs of the temple today, I found a lady coming down with a kid. A two year old kid followed. He used the wall to support him descend. At the end of the wall, there were three more steps to spare and only then would he be on the ground. He looked down, his feet wobbly and called for his elder brother.

I was on my way up and turned around to look. The little boy shakily managed to get down to reach his brother's extended hand.

Of course the kid was scared... Scared of falling, Scared of being hurt, Scared of being laughed at...
He still tried.

We would have also made the same effort as a child. We still make efforts.. But now, our aim is not as simple as descending a staircase...

Some of us may not give up until the desired outcome is achieved.
Some may try, fail and chose not to try again out of apprehension.
Some of us may wait in the quest of external support.
And Some may not attempt at all.
Approximately all of us fall into one of these categories... While the one's belonging to the first type find their way, the others lose the race...

I too have been in those categories at some stages in life and the idea of this write up to prompt the others to get to the topmost class.

Falling is not bad. But not learning from the fall is absurd. So what if there are some who laugh at you? They are not the one's who design your life... You Are!!

So don't fear a fall....
Because "When you are driven to the extreme,
                         Step out with the certainty of two things...
                                       You will either find something solid to Stand On,
                                                                           Or you will be taught how to Fly..."


Cheers!!
God Bless!!!
