Look Ma... No Legs...

The 'thought of the day' has been dwelling on my head quite a bit.

A man who cannot stand up for himself and his work, will never be able to stand for anyone else. Period.

No matter how much I can argue on this, egoistically, I cannot escape from the truth in this statement. It does stand true for me and it has been proved so many times.
Such a man is not really worthy of companionship.


The fact is that my consistency is just a result of 'no other option' and my efforts are far less as compared to my past self. I have been eating out my own legs just to keep up with the race and then when someone showed me the mirror .. all i could say – Look Ma.. No legs.


I tired myself last night to an extent so that I can get up thoughtless in the morning, but the attempt failed, maybe because I am dissatisfied somewhere inside. I still woke up to the same face in my thoughts, nothing else.

My mind is failing me time and again. I do not know what I should do so that I think less about my so called 'priority of thoughts' these days. How would it switch to the thoughts of work? By increasing pressure on myself? Na.. An escapist would like to chicken out to sick leave. Well.. thats the image I carry in the eyes of people who know me well.

I need to keep up to the 'race' in order to gain companionship. If I am unsuccessful, as I am today, I must leave willfully and find a way out.

If I cannot raise myself to a certain successful level.... I must quit.


Wish I had known such terms before. But today when I know them, I can easily put them in my agreement too. I am laughing at myself ... wondering who all will be able to come up to my level. No, I am not talking money. Life has several other aspects that money and success. I am also afraid that my bloated esteem may just revolt.

Anyways, jokes apart. I have taken this challenge for sometime as a test to my will and endurance. But this is what I do not want forever.


Let us see what where life takes me now. The next major turn is just about the corner. I can see that. Atleast I would have the satisfaction that I tried.

I would either go uphill or downhill; or maybe take another less traveled way.

One thing is sure. The ball is now set rolling Its time to get up and walk.
I must get bigger or get out.


Good Morning Sunday
