Idk what's stopping you
I talked with many people complaining how their life is, problems they are facing, whining, sulking.
Problems are no good, I pray to God to keep everyone around me happy so that I can be happy, but it won't work like that.
I got frustrated with their whinings, many a times expressed in them too, to bring in some sense in them. But they still whine, say excuses.
I met few people in many subs, trying to have the power of sun handed over to them.
Enev now i am frustrated, so want to express it loud and clear with a very dear incident, a critical part of my life that shaped me, tattooed a sense to me.
(NOT A MADE-UP ONE)
I have a frnd, who I spent my Btech with. He is 5'2ish, in a funny way we call him a Rice bag.
We used to walk with him most of the time, guiding the pathways, once he figures out, he does it himself.
His day looked like this:
- He regularly wakes up at 6:00 AM, yes even now.
- Just like a kid, picked up brush, towel, bucket, mug, finishes up brushing & bathing, combs his hair nice and sweet, dresses in good colored t shirts & blue denim jeans (most of the times)
- Sits up, plugs his earphones, and senses the phone screen - gliding over the screen while the TalkBack does it's work
- Replied back to his loved ones, which he received the previous night
- Used to wait for us to come pick him up for breakfast/lunch/dinner/college or whatever it is (He missed many breakfasts because of our lethargy)
- He is not that smart, not that quick, but used to give all of his effort
- we (not me often, but there is other guy from his branch) have to help him out in teaching him the night before the exam till 3-4 am (but he still used to wake up at 6 the next)
- He used to go to gym btw, he used to do 15 plate bench press each side. His calves used to look like he carried rice bags all his life.
- he is older than all of our mates, giving matured advices, guiding us, but we bully him tho, but he is super strong, I won't stand a chance in one on one, which we tried funnily, and he beat me in a min tho...(I am skinny then, just covering up😉)
- He used to talk with a girl since his 8th, he used to workship her, but recently she had to move away from him to another guy (can't blame her tho), he knew it would happen sonce our 2nd year, we know it too. He was shattered into prices, cried to us many times, but we can't do anything isn't it, apart from few cusses, talks & advices. He snapped, and got back into shape tho.
Recently I was talking to him (funny how life drifted us apart, not so far but not so close either, I did not see him in like 2-3 years), and he told me his fingure is broken.
I asked him how, he said - I put my dumbell down, but there is already dumbbell below, and fingure was stuck in between & it is pressed hard, chala pain ga undi ani annadu. In anger i cussed, what your spot or frnds are doing, he politely said - set is done, so they relaxed a bit.
He is good guy tho, rarely gets angry, graduated from tier 1 clg, CSE branch, and working super hard now in a well established company (handling immense workload, MANAGING critical projects, yes he levelled up to manager, he started off as a assistant manager tho... Perks of graduating from good clg & branch)
Everytime we talk, we talk about spiritualism, finances, theories of universe, mythos, workouts, how he should level up, what he needs to do...and what not... to place himself in better position and he gives everything to it.
The thing is - his eye sight is -100 (you know what I mean), he had this since his 5th standard.
Now go back, read the story again.
I am seeing clowns crying over shitty things,
Impatient illeterates sulking like they lost everything,
Calling exhaustion what is just discomfort,
Calling struggle what is just inconvenience,
You didn't lose anything.
You just never had the spine to carry what was actually given to you.
You have eyes. You have time. You have people who show up.
And you're still whining.
About what?? Your workload? Someone who didn't text back?
There's a guy I know who couldn't see the dumbbell that crushed his finger. His spotter had relaxed. Set was done, so why watch right?
He just said, chala pain ga undi, thaggipoddi le. Anthey,
And moved on.
You've been handed everything and 24 hours
and you're negotiating with Monday.
Should appreciate your audacity to complain.
You're not exhausted. You're unbothered dressed as exhausted.
You're not lost. You're just avoiding the routine.
He woke up at 6. Not knowing where he is, how he is. Heartbroken. Alone most of the times. Finger crushed.
Still woke up at 6 & getting his job done, levelling up, improving himself.
I don't know what's your f**g reason. What your sulk & whine about. All you do is complain, hiding your incompetence to show up. Coward.
If you are the one, this is for you as well.
You can cuss me or whatever, but this is my feelings when someone said they can't do it blah blah blah... There are problems to everyone, some started at 50meters when we are still searching for our shoes in a race, but there is always someone who is behind us giving all they can. Don't be a coward, it took an entire bloodline to sprout a brave one, it's you who made him or her coward.
