No one is born with an objective. It’s the one we create.

At times,  we wonder what life is,  what’s the purpose of living,  why are we here, what did we dream of,  what should we achieve in life,  why few people are successful and why some are not, why we are entitled to such a situation,  etc.  Human mindset is like that.  Most people are not with what they have. And some of them claim they are satisfied, but not.  Alas, only very few actually feel that sense of satiety in life.

When people go over different laps in their life,  they tend to think that the lap they are in is not so fine and could have been better.  Say, when you are at college, you feel your school life was the best,  and after college you think your college life was the best.  When you are in your own country,  you strive hard to go to some foreign destination and when you are finally in that foreign nation, you think that your country was the best and you should not have come here.

Human mind always aims for something or the other and have a sense of dissatisfaction when it fails. Why don’t we think, “Yahoo! I did it” when we win and “Hmm… well… It didn’t click for me but that’s fine” when we fail and go with the same feeling as we would have won???  New things always excite people. Be it a new job, new school, newly wed, new dress, but as time fades, fun degrades…  Those ‘once new’ things are not new anymore and not interesting anyhow…  Why is that?  Why can’t gift your spouse the same way you did for your first anniversary?

As we take new laps in life, we leave things behind which were new earlier and concentrate on the new ‘new’ thereby. No one is born with an objective. It’s the one that we create. It’s like when you were at school,  your objective is to get a good name in your school’s roll of honour.  When you were at college,  your objective was to enjoy the first few years and when you slid towards the end of your college life, your objective to get a lucrative job or go for higher studies.

When you’ve spent considerable amount of time at gaining work experience,  your objective was to build a house and get married.  When you hit your late twenties, your objective to bring children into your life.  When your children grew,  your objective was to shape them towards a goal for their better lives.  And these objectives metamorphose into new shapes when you drive into different laps. But, why do the objectives in each lap remain the same for almost everyone?  While these objectives are not the predefined rules in a dossier, why most of us take the same road? Well, I guess no one has an answer. But life goes on and on… And we run behind something as always.

Regret or Rejoice? It’s in our hands! When you rejoice, it’s bliss! So, why not?
