I recently heard someone saying in
an award function organized by NDTV in Rashtrapathi Bhavan that in the times of
setbacks, take safe approach and be open for all opportunities rather than
playing it blind and stubborn. I too believe so.
There comes this time in
everyone’s life when you do not find anything coming your way. It becomes hard
going all the time. Opportunities appear as if they are all around but they
just seem like not coming to you or rather you are not going for them enough.
At the same time, one cannot conclude it saying that this is it. But yes, one
can say that this is how it happens at times. When it happens one must take as
many safe approaches as possible rather than staying still, hanging around and
playing it blind. One must be open for as many opportunities as possible and
must not keep doors shut at any unless otherwise it’s too much to do so. Sixth
sense as well can stop supporting you in such times but that’s not the end, one
must believe so.
Being open and going for all
possible options can definitely get you close to the one you need, you may or
may not like it, that’s the other part of it. But doing so can clear a large
portion of your way towards getting what you like. In the same awards function,
the same gentlemen said that he tried for at least fifty interviews before he
got selected for one job. Unfortunately he had to wait for fifteen months in
the same job before he could get one he liked and longed for. Similar
experiences might be there with many more people, especially with those who
hail from middle class or lower middle class families. Well, setbacks do not
know the class that we hail from. They can come in our way anytime. All we can
do is to play it safe until we get the opportunity we like or may deserve.

I am currently going through a series of set backs and there are times when I don't know where to start or how to deal with it, let alone explore all possible options to go forward. But I find a lot of hope and encouragement from my friends who are able to understand what I am going through. Sometimes they open up and share what they have had to tackle, then I feel better that I am not alone, that each of us are going through problems that we can, ultimately, navigate through and with these experiences, we grow too. That's how I see setbacks.
Setbacks are part of human life and many times they come one after the other.The key to overcome them is to remain undaunted and look for ways to overcome.For some it materializes early and for some it takes unduly long time.The bottom line is not to get defeated but keep exploring.
