... so let go...

The fear. We all have different types of fears. But all the fears converge, in a way, to a one particular kind of fear. the Fear of Loosing. It is an emotion, which we all experience, for certain kind of things. A scenario where we may loose what we have. Those anxious moments before exams or sports, they are the fear of failure, the fear of loosing out your prestige in front of others and more importantly the fear of loosing out your prestige in front of yourself. The fear of height or water or other kinds of phobias, they are the fearing of lossing your self to death.

Whenever we are in a state when we are not able to imagine how things will next be, we are in a state of fear. This hinders us from taking the next step, because you will invariably think, 'What if I don't make it??'. The element of risk. No wonder why they say, 'The greater the risk, the higher the returns'. Its not the returns we are thrilled about it is the journey towards those results, which makes us thrilled. That every moment, before you reached there, when you thought, 'Ohl, only if this happens'. The joy is not in achieving what you wanted but the joy is in understanding that you have worked your way despite of all the odds and have been successful. There are those, but certainly in very less numbers, who just try and inspite of there failures still smile.But I am not talking about them.

But an altogether different things come into picture, when you bring some of your traits and mix them up with your fears. I think thats when most of us make mistakes, stupid mistakes. Its not wrong to make mistakes, but its wrong, when you repeat them. There are some mistakes, which are irreversible, and then there are some whose are reversible. It is commonly said, 'To Break is easy, but to fix what is broken is equally difficult if possible at all'. Some us do not venture out to
mend what they have broken. Mostly I believe for the simple reason that admitting that have you have made a mistake is difficult. All kinds of excuses are given, especially, the name of misunderstanding. The motive is often discussed. The motive when action was being done, and the motive when apologizing. But whatever kind of excuses or reasons you may give, it does not change that something wrong was done. Admitting it and maybe mending the consequences can altogether help in a different way. In a way, to understand that, it doesnt change what you actually are. It may change the other peoples' perspective, but if the perspective can be changed that easily, it can be changed, again so easily, with a admission to fault. We just have to understand that, it is not important. We just need to let go

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

PS : I have told these are random thoughts, so don't complain, if it is
not streamlined or if it is not in sync or if there is jumping of thoughts in between. Don't complain if it doesn't make sense, because it makes sense to me !! So Let Go !!
