Am I on the journey I wanted to pursue, or am I just driven by the heavy wind of anticipation of life? Could you imagine having a life full of privilege, with no worries about the unpredictable scenarios lying ahead—scenarios you have no idea about and probably don't have the expertise to handle the consequences of?
Mostly, we are driven by our surroundings, by the wind of anticipation, which speaks for your eternity—a driven perception of your own self. We become so focused on what might happen that we forget to focus on what is happening.
I mostly think about dealing with failure, having patience, and taking steps on the ladder of vertical uplift toward success. This happens only when you have the connection among your entire thoughts and acts to achieve the desired results.
Success isn't a straight line—it's a complex web of interconnected decisions, actions, and thoughts that must align to create the outcomes we desire.
The past experiences with people, the arguments, the expressions of heading toward prospective individuals—these weren't pleasant enough to make you believe that where you're headed is what you always wanted. Sometimes our journey takes us to places we never intended to go.
Everyone has a dream to be a successful individual in their own fashion. But how many of them are driven and reach somewhere else than they initially thought? Sometimes for good, sometimes for the worst scenario.
The path to success is rarely the path we imagine when we first set out.
Aren't they successfully encouraging themselves to pursue where destiny has to lead them, or should they fight and walk away from the perfect life just to follow their dreams? Well, I could say that such individuals would be none other than Buddha—which isn't possible to find in the current generation.
The question is whether we should follow the path that seems destined for us or fight for the path we choose for ourselves.
Being an entrepreneur, you should have a story that gives you the perfect sense of who you are and how you made it this far. Your story becomes your foundation, your reminder of why you started and how far you've come.
I don't agree that we don't share the worst-case scenarios of our life, the struggles we had, and the dreams we saw with wide-open eyes. Even the thought of failure or being driven away from that goal would simply take away all sleep and cause panic attacks about losing time—time that could be spent doing more than one could in that interval to achieve the nearest mark and get ahead of winning over the odds.
The reality of pursuit is that it's often accompanied by fear, doubt, and the constant pressure of time.
Life isn't mean—it's just the way she sounds harsh. Life isn't trying to hurt us; it's simply presenting us with the challenges we need to grow and become who we're meant to be.
The space between our dreams and our destiny is where the real work happens. It's where we learn to navigate the winds of anticipation, where we develop the patience to wait for the right moment, and where we build the resilience to handle the inevitable setbacks.
We often think of destiny as something predetermined, something we have no control over. But the truth is that destiny is shaped by the choices we make, the actions we take, and the dreams we choose to pursue.
Having dreams isn't enough—we need the courage to pursue them. This courage comes from understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, but a necessary part of the journey toward it.
Success requires both patience and action. We need the patience to wait for the right opportunities and the action to seize them when they come. This balance is what separates those who dream from those who achieve.
Navigating between dreams and destiny isn't about choosing one over the other. It's about understanding that they're not separate destinations, but interconnected parts of the same journey.
The wind of anticipation can carry us far, but only we can decide if it's carrying us in the right direction. When we learn to navigate these winds with intention and purpose, we find that our dreams and our destiny are not opposing forces, but complementary aspects of the life we're meant to live.
The question is: are you ready to navigate the space between your dreams and your destiny, or will you let the wind carry you wherever it pleases?
