Life α Exception Handling

Howdy Folks,

                          Before starting this blog, I would like to ask some questions from my readers.

1.  Do you have any plans or goals for your life?

2. If yes, then why did you choose this particular goal or plan?  

3.Did you have ever given a thought, through which process you would have to go, rather to achieve your goals?

4. And here comes the most Important Question. What if, you have done All the hard work and still you are not succeeded in your plans? Do you have any plans B or C to achieve your goals or like anyone else you will compromise and will settle for something less or different.?

After reading these questions, I believe you must have looked into your own life as an example.We all have some aspirations in life, which when achieved will give us some sense of Satisfaction. But when, we plan something and contemplate, in order to achieve our targets, we all just have to put some hard work. That’s it? Is it enough? NO! It’s not. It’s not that most of the people haven’t provided the hard work towards their process for achieving their goals.

They all were dedicated to their plans at some point of time. Then why didn’t they achieve their targets? Hmm?  Thinkable! Right?Regard, everyone has some idiosyncratic behaviour in them or Talent which clearly differs them from 5.99 billion people. Everyone has some unique hidden powers; they just have to unravel them.

Stand up, go view yourself in a mirror. Take a glance and ask yourself a question. You wanted to become big. You wanted to make it large.? Then where did you get stuck.?

After reading these questions, most of the people’s mind will be filled with defensive excuses. They will say Family responsibilities, some will say lack of expert advice facilities and so on. I want to say to them is that nobody, literally nobody is going to stop them except themselves. There are so many human examples which clearly tells us that literally nobody can stop us except yourself. Your biggest enemy is only you, no one else. Your Thoughts are the main elixir of your actions. Basically, everything which is in existence and is man- made was first a random idea in someone’s mind. So, if someone just plan something in life and is working towards it and he/she believes that they can achieve. So, I will just say one thing to them, be consistent but life is full of surprises my friend. And then here comes the idea behind the topic I choose.    

                                                     Life is all about exception handling. I come from the software background, and mostly all the work is about coding, coding and just coding. There is an exquisite concept in the computer’s language known as Exception Handling. For example: - we write code, A step by step algorithms, for specific function to happen in a computer. Its not that every time we write a code and we will get the desired output or there will be no error, so to counter these errors in coding or in computer we use the concept of exception handling. These unwelcomed errors or in life you can say “undesirable moments or situations” are known as exceptions. So, exception handling is basically an art of handling things which aren’t going your way. If you write hundred lines of code and you don’t know how to handle the exceptions then your life will become so messed up. That’s why I said, life is all about exception handling.  

In life you will encounter with these types of situations countless times. Where you will feel that by doing so much hard work in some process, you still haven’t achieved anything. You may feel that, it’s enough let’s settle for something less .so, most of the times so many people just hold their plans for future or sometimes they let it go. Let me give you a beautiful example of an Ant.

Have you ever observed an Ant. Most of us would have seen an ant Walking through a queue. Have you ever jammed her path? Suppose an ant has to go from point A to point B as her objective /plan / goal you can say. Then you would have notice, that when you have blocked her path, she doesn’t stand there still. She looks around and finds another way to reach her target. Countless times you may occlude her path but she is never tired of trying. She would find her way to her goal. She has her exception code ready and working for her. She can also become a crybaby, she can also say it’s my fate ,just like most of us humans say when we fail. What do we can learn from this small creature? If you are ready for handling the exceptions which are beyond your control, then someday you will achieve what you wanted to achieve.

So how to inculcate this art within us? How to be ready for any situation life brings upon us.? How to be ready for these unwanted exceptions?

See it would be wrong if I would say draw up in advanced. Actually no one is prepared in advanced. So, what we can do to tackle all these?

1.Do what you want to do, but never expect anything in return.

2.You can’t be fully prepared for situations which are in womb of future, but you can be 50% prepared by just by being friends with your negative thoughts .

Okay I will tell briefly about these points. See my first point is “never to expect anything from your process”. What I meant to say is look for example: - if you want to become an IAS officer for so many reasons, some choose this for power, respect and some for just so they can work for the welfare of the society. Some reason should be there for choosing any field of work or goal. Right? But when we enter into the process for achieving our goal. We should remember one thing ,  we don’t have to keep any expectations in advance or remember what we would get as a prize after the completion of this process.Some of you will say, no it’s not right. You need something as a fuel to work consistently every day.

See having one expectation is enough to work through a process, that will provide you enough fuel for carrying on, but what we humans do we just make a pile of expectations from the process, from our hard work. Then what happens we try to achieve our goal as quickly as we can so we can fulfil all our desires and then if suddenly some exceptions occur, then we are the most agitated person on this planet. Then we try different things, we find shortcuts and all. And there all the problems began. So, don’t make stock pile of expectations. If one expectation is not fulfilled, you can still carry on perfectly.

So, the most important part is how to be friends with your negative thoughts? Interesting? hmm?

See, everyone around you will say this to yothat be positive, develop PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), Think positive etc. If thinking positive was easy, then why anybody on this earth will deliberately think negative? It’s a fact that most of us when we see our first failure , then while going for second attempt towards achieving our target there is always a sense of negative thought in our mind, which say’s “you can’t achieve this”, “leave this ,it’s just a waste of time”, “you are not meant for this ” and the story goes on.

These Negative thoughts which I call (The Devil), are the main reason behind the failures of enormous ambitious people. They are like the motivation drawer’s which draw out all the motivation, dedication and all the positive energy which is needed for you to achieve your target. They force a person to think in a way that he/she lose their fighting spirits.

So how to tackle these thoughts? How to curb this devil?

Actually, curbing these devils inside you is not so difficult. Take every negative thought as a challenge. See it as that devil is trying to challenge you, and is saying that you can’t become big, you can’t be successful, you have to compromise, you have to settle for less and you have to see others having a successful career. This (devil) inside you will try to force you to compare yourself with others. The whole thing is, he will try his best that by hook or crook you don’t try enter that process of becoming great again.

So, to counter the devil, my ploy is that whatever he says I take it as a challenge. I take his words like an arrow, which are trying to hurt my ego, trying to destroy my reputation in my own eyes. When you don’t challenge this devil, so its power gets stronger day by day. So, the best part is to challenge him, say to him,” Okay! Say whatever you want to say. I will prove you wrong.” And when you challenge someone you will feel that enormous amount of energy and motivation is generated within you. And then you work like something you have never done before. Challenge yourself every day, challenge this wretched emotion every day. I said earlier NO one is your enemy, it’s your delusion. The biggest enemy of my life is MYSELF. So, to be in harmonious relationship with yourself. CHALLENGE YOURSELF. 

So, these two points are my code of exception handling in my life. Maybe they not work for you. So, get up, THINK and write your own code of EXCEPTION HANDLING OF YOUR LIFE !
