Identity Crisis 2 — The Talented Failure!
Identity Crisis 1 — The Trap of the Sensual Platform!
“If only I had a beautiful face like her, If only I had a melodious voice like him, If only I would have been an intellectual…” and the list goes on.
“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?” — Danielle LaPorte
Every human wants to be appreciated and acknowledged. Sadly, the world presents us with a restricted list of professions which can fulfil that desire! Eg, Film industry, Cricket, Singers, Business Tycoons!
The strong desire to be someone else kills our unique God-given talent. Being enamoured with other’s talent, we murder silently our own unique gift! The desire to be someone else is so much that a person loses the very self! Because I am not good at what I like, I can’t succeed. Because I am not doing what I am good at, I don’t succeed. Thus, a talented failure!
A friend of mine, an expert at giving a perfect solution to any real-life problem (talent), lives an ordinary silent life (failure) because he couldn’t make it to the scientific community!
Arjuna, the most powerful warrior of his time, amidst the life’s biggest crisis, decided to run away from the battlefield (Bhagavad Gita 2.5). Krishna enlightened and instructed him to continue his specific duty as a warrior because he is an expert at that (Bhagavad Gita 18.47). The world knows, he emerged victoriously!
