#31 Waiting for something

Waiting for something……..

Life is a journey which never ends until one gets out of the cycle. It is a continuous process. Similarly one cannot deny the fact that waiting is a continuous process. Like a wheel moving on a frictionless surface finds itself difficult to stop, similarly, it is almost impossible to resist oneself from waiting for something.  But this continuity always astonishes me rather than fascinating. Whenever one is passionate about something, he tries hard to achieve that. Sometimes, he becomes successful but sometimes he has to satisfy his inner self by just waiting for the result which may be favorable or unfavorable depending on the efforts one puts into. Once he achieves what he wants, he comes up with other alternatives that make him wait again. The whole concept of waiting never ends as it is relative as well as dynamic in nature.

Waiting for something is very tiring and painful also because one cannot estimate the exact duration of such kind of wait. Sometimes it shatters all the hopes and aspirations. It makes one uncontrollable in the sense that he can outburst with anger or frustration and end up with nothing in hand. People often fail because they do not visualize the happiness it provides at the end rather they think of the entire process to be too long and exhausting that made them loose their energy and patience.

What to say at this point of time when I am facing the same kind of situating. I am also waiting for something and this wait seems to me the never ending one. The reason for wait can vary with different people because of the difference in perspective and lifestyles.  It may seem as an ordinary to others but for me, the reason could be to stay my at home and spending valuable time with my parents which I am missing right now.

I always feel that the wait is only justified if it is for the cause which is desirable. Hence waiting regardless of the fact that is not going to happen, is just an absurd idea. And of course the more I think about my wait, the more I feel pathetic and nostalgic. The best option I could explore is to pen down my emotions in this article and drive away this thought for some time. After spending a long time with myself and thinking about this topic, I have discovered many hidden facts associated with it and these are explained below.

The reason for wait keeps on changing with respect to the situation and expectations of individuals. From an example, it can be more clearly understood. As I was waiting to meet my parents in the first year but in my final year of graduation, I will be waiting for the result. It will be the ultimate requirement after taking up the degree. Still, I can say that the initial reason would act as a driving force for the later one because I want that to happen at any cost to end  my waiting process which will be virtual I know…..(wait never ends).

Whatever happens, happens for the best. This thought provides me inner peace and drives away all the pain associated with the wait.  Certain cases of such wait can be cited from nature. Flamingo keeps on waiting patiently for its prey. It has never deviated from its path. The formation of a mirage on sand incites the deer to search for water on the desert. It waits for the outcome though its search may seem to be never-ending, as it is very much difficult to search for water in a desert. Crocodile waits silently in a river for long to grab its prey.  Similarly, there are innumerous examples of such phenomenon occurring in nature through which one can learn to be patient and determined.

The above-mentioned evidence reveals the truth that everyone whosoever takes birth has to wait for something in life. If these creatures can wait for so long, they why can’t human beings???And, human beings are regarded as the most unique creatures that God has ever made. Waiting keeps an individual energetic of its emotions and reminds one of what to do which is an important aspect of life. The more one become passionate about his/her intentions, the less one experiences the agony of waiting. In other words, to be less affected by the emotional misbalances caused by waiting, one should be patient like the other creatures present in nature do the same irrespective of thinking for the outcome.

In nutshell, waiting for something is a driving force that makes one active and sensitive towards one’s intentions otherwise the life would be dormant. In a real sense, waiting for something never gets over. In life, the quench for knowledge never fades away. One should wait, wait and wait until he approaches success.
