Failure and success are illusions of the same
coin
“Follow your dream” is today’s mantra. While this is
absolutely essential, it is also necessary to realize that sometimes things can
take a different turn. Our inner voice mirrors our innate qualities and
that we can manifest them in any form. Failure and
success are illusions of the same coin. We are blessed to be given a
life to be lived as a journey. Use the signposts the external world gives you,
but, somewhere, take the time to introspect and find that inner voice. You can
be rest assured, however varied your journey might be, your inner GPS never
malfunctions! Enjoy-getting lost!. To describe more about the concept, read the
following story of one Ms. Sumitha
Since she was young, Sumitha always wanted to be a
fashion designer. She had been selected for admission into a Fashion institute
when there was a sudden personal crisis. Her father, who was the sole
breadwinner, of the family passed away in an automobile accident.
Responsibilities were thrust on her young shoulders and she decided that she
had to choose an option that would give her a viable career option. A family
member suggested ‘Speech therapy’ and she found herself training to be a speech
therapist. It was a complete departure from what she had wanted to do. Five
years passed, and Sumitha is now working as a speech therapist, supporting her
younger brother’s education. In her work, many of her patients describe her as
a creative therapist — someone who finds innovative ways of working with
patients.
Sumitha has tapped into her own inner voice — which was
one of creativity and innovation. The desire to be a fashion designer was merely
the outer form. She has successfully transcribed that voice into a completely
new avatar. Sumitha’s story was a personal epiphany.
