Life Is Not A One Way Road

Here is how the road looks for an average guy.

Go to school. Get good grades. Get a job. Buy things on debt. Teach the same to your kids. Retire. Die.

If somehow the road gets interrupted, those folks begin to panic.

Because that’s what they have been taught.

DO or DIE.

Follow the rules or you won’t be anything in life!!

Just think that so many others are on this same road

MILLIONS.

They are following the same rules.

They are doing the same stuff.

YET. They aren’t achieving anything big in their lives. Just like a treadmill. You keep running and running. But you reach nowhere.

The road you have been taught to walk on has no destination.

Like you are in a job for yearssssss. Yet you aren’t rich. So how long?

You want to be rich when you are 85?

Really?

Keep the google maps in mind

You want to go somewhere.

NOW.

Is there only one road to reach that place?

OF COURSE NOT!! Multiple ones.

Just like the google maps. Even if you don’t take a common road, you can still reach your destination in time.

SAME WITH SUCCESS.

Just because others aren’t taking any new road doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

Open your eyes buddy!!

Suicide is the lowest form of human action

LOWEST.

I mean there isn’t anything below this shit.

Like you failed in something and you are taking your wholeeee lifeeeee?

REALLY?

It just baffles me.

We all fail. But escaping is not what humans are for. We are here to solve problems.

Look at how the world has evolved.

We made so many things from total ZERO.

TOTAL ZERO!!

Okay now don’t blame your fate

NO.

YOU JUST CAN’T DO IT.

You can always create your own fate.

Even if it sucks, you can still recreate it.

The world doesn’t run short of such examples!!

Final thoughts

There are hundreds of roads.

Forget that old one.

Take the new road.

There is uncertainty. But there is also SOMETHING NEW.

Ready?
