WELL, I SUPPOSE THINGS DON'T GET WORSE THAN HANGING FROM A HELIUM BALLOON A MILE ABOVE SOME UNRECOGNIZED STATE. OF COURSE, MY GRIP COULD WEAKEN, OR I COULD GET SUCKED INTO A JET INTAKE. THAT'S ONE OF THE REMARKABLE THINGS ABOUT LIFE. IT'S NEVER SO BAD THAT IT CAN'T GET WORSE. - Bill Waterson

The stone in your path

Destiny is like the stone in your path of life. The stone can be a small pebble which you can
walk over easily or pocket it for future use. Or you could kick it away and meet it later in
the path. It could otherwise be a medium sized rock which you have to step over. Or you could
trip over this rock but continue with a little injury. The biggest challenge comes when there
is a huge boulder in the path and there is no way to proceed further. Some people step or turn
back at this stage and some keep trying to move the boulder and exhaust themselves in the
ordeal. some would try to climb over it and fall. The most arduous task would be carve out a new path to travel when faced with a boulder of this size. This is extremely challenging but is the best way forward. Turning back in life leads to nowhere and trying to move the boulder is like attempting to change the things which are not within one's control. The only way out when the boulder is too big to move or climb over is to realise that this path can be no longer continued and to work towards identifying or creating a new path. Life does not and cannot stop when one reaches a dead end ! As life goes on, the person also needs to move on and continue his journey. Initially the going will be tough since its a new path and you need to get familiar with the ways of it, and if there is no existing path it is even tougher since the path has to carved out as you proceed. But you also learn how to survive, how to keep moving, how to fight the risks and the dangers along the way and the next time you encounter a boulder, things seem much easier ! So, the best way out is to start digging and paving your way through the wonderful life gifted to you.
