Be fearless (क्‍यों डरें ज़िन्‍दगी में क्‍या होगा)

Nearly 11 months ago, I took a bold decision to do what I always had aspired for. It was not an instant decision but something which was always in back of  my mind. Due to financial concerns and lack of self-confidence, I lacked courage to go for this tough journey leading to a beautiful destination. Often thoughts of settling to a mediocre life haunted me but I was unable to pay heed to it. At the same time, I didn't wish regret to burden rest of my life. Hence, I plunged to take the first leap forward with thought in mind  "a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step."
       
 These lines inspired me a lot at that point of time :
                              क्‍यों डरें ज़िन्‍दगी में क्‍या होगा
                              कुछ ना होगा तो तज़रूबा होगा                      ~  जावेद अख्तर  

These days, I am down and bit dejected. I may miss the bus of mains by few marks. This was the thing which I was hopeful for in this attempt. I worked hard for it.It would have made my further ride smoother. Nevertheless this has been a beautiful journey so far. In life, you may not always get that you except.You need to move on. You never know "what is in store for you".God's plans might be better. This has made me more determined and committed.Following lines are echoing in my mind:

                              क्‍या हार में क्‍या जीत में

                              किंचित नहीं भयभीत मैं

                              संधर्ष पथ पर जो मिले 
                              यह भी सही वह भी सही।

                              वरदान माँगूँगा नहीं,  
                              हार मानूँगा  नहीं।।                                    ~ शिवमंगल सिंह 'सुमन'

Hoping for the best.
