Do you have everything that you ever dreamt of?
Did something fall off your suitcase, while you were hurrying through different stations of life?
Since I was a child I always aspired to become a medicine practitioner ( a surgeon to be specific), but not everything goes according to your plan.
Does it?
No no , not that I wasn't a bright student or I didn't have the ability to nail it, but I had wasted my opportunity.
The country (India) where we live, as soon as you are able to speak, the only question you have to answer is - " Beta bade ho Kar kya banoge?" ie " What do you want to become in life?".
So everyone I knew then, already knew what I planned for myself. All this is bearable, but the pressure which develops becomes harassing.
But this isn't what I'm trying to tell. After so much of planning, invested time and effort the end result was I will be able to call myself a doctor ,but a paramedic!
MBBS was a out of reach with my score, so after buckets of tears, burdened shoulders with comments and taunts and the most painful- disheartened parents, I tried to think what actually was important.
MY NEXT STEP.
I had a forked path, like always. I could either sit again for the exam (which I had already done once) or, to think if this was only the last thing in life which would bring me satisfaction, happiness, respect and a well settled career.
CHANGING DREAMS.
I made a new plan for myself, again with the same zeal as before, with the same effort and exactly the same passion.
I got into Physiotherapy. Yes, a doctor of a different department. So won't this help me earn respect (and enough money too)?
Life is all about changes and uncertainty is in every breath. Even if it doesn't go as per your well worked script, the show doesn't stop!
Remember, everything brings new opportunities. You should have a positive outlook , wherever you stand, think of doing your best from there!
