To be or not to be

"To be or not to be" is the most famous Shakespearean quote. Personally, the way I interpret this is that its upto to us to be whatever we want to be in life. Life is full of promises, shocks, surprises and disappointments. Its up to us to choose to be happy in spite of disappointments, positive in spite of shocks, down to earth in spite of surprises!

So if you want something very badly and you were given a choice: 1. You might not get it or 2. You might get more than you can handle, which one will you choose for? Will you be happy that you didn't get something that you can't handle or will you be sad that you didn't get it at all?

To be honest, I really didn't know how to feel when I was posed this question. I was scared that I might get something I will not be handle, and I was also worried that I may not get what I wanted. Eventually I didn't get what I wanted badly. I was a little upset, but decided that we can't always have the cake and eat it too. I can only things that I want badly enough at any cost.

We can't put conditions on things we want. Materialistic things, yes maybe, but not on emotions or things beyond our control. Thats how life works. At this point, I just decided to keep my cool and thought, 'God always gives you things you need rather than what you want.' So maybe the thing that I wanted is not something God thinks I need.
He is after a better judge of how the whole life thing works, so why worry my head over it.

The only thing in my control is to be happy and positive about things. Coz what is the point in feeling sulky or depressed about things you can't change or do anything about. Here's where the part of fate/destiny comes in to play. If you are destined for something you will get it. Else its not in your fate to get it.

But fate/destiny makes me wonder about the famous SRK dialogue from OSO 'kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho to puri duniya ki kayanat usko tumse milane mein judd jaati hai.' When you want something badly enough, all the forces in the universe work towards getting you towards your goal. So I guess there is some hope after all. :-)
I might just land up getting something I want provided I want it badly enough!

Cheers to be optimistic and positive in life!
