Between Me and my Destiny ...

This might come as a shock to most of my friends and colleagues, but to be honest, I'm not an intellectual and logical person. In truth, I'm a person who thinks more with the heart than the head. I place great value on feelings and emotions.

Though my attempt is to be logical and rational as far as possible, many a times, my emotions get the better of me and I end up doing things which I regret later. At times such as these, I have often envied those people who prefer cold logic over emotions. It must be so awesome to be in control of yourself at all times . . .

Since the past few years, I have been making a conscious effort to suppress my emotional nature and be more logical and rational. Rather than expecting others to see and accept me as I am, I have tried to present what others wish to see in me.

Recently, I got a forwarded message which taught me a great lesson. It says:

If you are honest, people cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people will be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

The people you care for may not appreciate your affection. Love them anyway.

Give the world your best. It may never be enough. Give your best anyway.

Because in the end, it is between you and destiny ...

It was never between you and them ...
