Do you look at life as a ‘responsibility’ or an ‘opportunity’?
Should we follow our life as per instructions from an undocumented
journal or should we customize it and enjoy the chance to ‘live’?
Is it your duty to live or is it an opportunity to explore?
Are you burdened under the task to live successfully or do
you look forward to every moment it offers?
Let me stop my string of questions before you blame me for asking too much!
Having said this, I
would appreciate if you could invest some thoughts on my questions and come up
with your take over it. Till then, let me add my two cents over the subject as
that is what bloggers do. Write, talk, write and talk again!
My opinion tends to
incline towards ‘opportunity’ as life is all about chances, efforts, dreams,
hopes and happiness. Though each one of us have numerous responsibilities along
the entire course of this birth, it does not mean we look at life as a ‘huge’
responsibility. It is just one part of our living, yet we are not burdened
under some strict course. If we look at life as responsibility, we may lose the
entire essence of enjoying it. Responsibility may bring limitations and
restrictions. But opportunity stands for limitless possibilities. There is
nothing in this world that can stop you from achieving your dreams, if you
consider life as one big opportunity. It is within your hands to make, break, decorate
or destroy. After all, life is one big ocean with expandable horizon.
In order to enjoy
life, it is essential to embrace freedom and work on customization. It is
important to find out what appeals to our mind and walk along its course.
Following a journal of pre-determined rules is not living. At the same time, forgetting
our humanity is not living too. We have to take care of our worldly responsibilities
at every stage of life, yet it is inappropriate to blame it for staying away
from fun. It is possible to ascend the ladder of life, while enjoying every
step in a personalized way.
You must be
wondering about the need to ponder about such a question. While fulfilling our
responsibility to ‘live’, we tend to forget about the fun behind it. Routine
course of our journey rarely gives us a chance to introspect and think. That is
when blog posts like these force you to think. Rather than moving along with
the herd, take time to figure out your course. Find out what opportunities await
you. Grab the chance to live life your way, before it pulls you into its own
way. We do not have control over situations and circumstances, yet we
definitely have a control on our reactions to it.
Moving over to the
last phase of this blog, let me give you a feel of what life feels like as a ‘responsibility’
and as an ‘opportunity’. This may assist you, while you hunt for your answers.
Responsibility:
-
Monotonous
-
Safe
-
Pre-determined
-
Tried and tested formula
-
Boring
-
Tiresome
-
Overwhelming
Opportunity:
-
Challenging
-
Unique
-
Fun
-
Exciting
-
Experimental
-
Risky
-
Joyful
-
Satisfactory
I am sure many of you may argue that it is
not possible to categorize life into fixed teams. Yet, it is possible to give
more weight-age to one over the other. Such demarcation can influence your journey,
reminding you to live and not just survive. Responsibility is more about
surviving as a human, while opportunity is about enjoying the pleasure of ‘being
human’.
Make the most of this life as it is nothing
less than a gift to treasure forever.
P.S: Your answers are awaited. It can be just a word if not an explanation, but it will really help to know what others
think!
