Unscripted
How would you like it if you knew what awaits you? I know it sounds affirming, to say the least, to know what is present in store for you. It builds a sense of satisfaction and confidence in you because you know what you are doing is correct for what you have planned out. But that is all dreamy, that is what is usually portrayed in a movie. In our life, we can’t script a happy end! In fact, our ending is determined the time we are born in this world itself, and I am sure it can never be a happy one.
We are all very positive in life. We hope for the best things to occur to us. I will explain this with a simple example. Every day, before you sleep, you will set an alarm for the next morning! Now that is positivity, that is something which we all have inherently. If you look at this gesture, you will find that you are so positive, you take it for granted that you will wake up tomorrow. You didn’t think about whether there will be an earthquake and it will all crumble whilst you are asleep, or you would experience a heart attack in the middle of sleep. No! What you imagined was, you will wake up tomorrow, at the specified time, to cope with what was in store for you the next day!
Now, let me come back to the title of this article. Our life is one unscripted roller coaster ride whose tickets you hadn’t bought to. Even in a roller coaster, you know when to expect a sudden fall or a 180-degree climb so that you would embrace yourself. That is not the case with our life. We can take all the precautions we want, but if something is meant to happen, it will eventually find its course in your life.
Likewise, success is unscripted! You always want it, you worked hard for it, yet sometimes you miss it by a whisker. I have always believed that there is no short cut to success except for hard work. Hard-sweaty-sleepless nights-work. But there is one teensy aspect which the famous quote misses on, and that is luck. You need to have odds not against you, but in favor of you, to have what you want. You worked, you prepared, you planned, you sacrificed, you did everything you could to achieve what you want but you got to be the right man at the right time at the right place or else it’s all in vain. You need the universe, not conspiring against you, but in your best interests! This is something that life teaches you. Imagine working harder than anyone to get that dream trophy in a sprint race and suddenly there is a downpour and the event gets canceled! All your dreams come crashing down.
So I believe in this quote which is, “Success is 95% hard work and 5% luck.”
But it doesn’t stop there. Since you couldn’t write your script of life, you have to accept if the odds weren’t in your favor. What matters now is how you accept-cope- and then bounce back! “You lose when you decide not to try further.” It is on us, in our very own hands to look for an alternative or strike back hard into converting the failure into a success! If you didn’t end your efforts when you were struck with an unfavorable situation in your face, you sure as hell didn’t lose the game of life. You have to achieve what you set out to achieve and only then would your hunger for success satiate.
It doesn’t stop here as well. Humans, by nature, are hungry beings. We are never satisfied and we should never be. To climb the ladder of success, you cannot say, “I am satisfied with what I have. I shall rest now.” Even the process of evolution never stopped and so we shall not. “You rot when you rest.” We have to set new targets every time we are done with one. There will be bumps, trenches, even valleys along the way but it is on us when and how to move past it. That is what defines us and that is what is needed not only to survive but to shine.
To sum up,

To sum up,
” We can plan, but we cannot predict.”We always have to improvise in every situation so that we end up eventually where we planned to be.
