What if...??

There won't be any person I guess who at any point in life stood at a point which lead him to two paths*, and both gave some kind of hope, a wish, may be a promise for the changing future - future changing for the better;  followed by a huge Dilemma - What if...? 

It's like - a devil's been chasing you (that's the present situation) and you are running away from it, you run with all the strength in you, the devil is picking up speed and closing in on you... you strive for your life, you pray for more strength, you can't fight it as you obviously see that its more powerful than you, you wish for some kind of miracle to happen, you wish either it disappears magically or you become invisible... you enter a chaotic jungle, which is a new ground for you, you don't know where the next turn will lead you to... in so much chase you start losing your breath, your strength, your will & with it - your hope... but there is a belief somewhere in you which still pushes you to carry on... still fight against it... so you focus on the future, forgetting what's behind you... you start looking forward... for any escapes where you can lose the big bad demon and build something new... so with regained spirit you start looking out for more... and there comes a  point where there are two paths for you to take where you can change the situation for the better. Now, in that split second, you gotta decide which one you ought to be on. And in this split second, you can do 2 things to choose the path; one, on the basis of your past experiences or second, go by your gut feeling... and once you are almost 99% sure about the path you need to take on - then comes the question - What IF...?? 

You can fill in all the What IF questions yourself, but the doubt, the hitch that to take that step ahead remains... there is anxiety which what will happen ahead... you are hanging between hope and fear... and then you say Chuck It.. you relinquish all your fears and take on a path (most likely with your gut...)... and there you find a place where you can camp for a little while and make a base for the future lying ahead...    

Well, this is quite an optimistic ending... but i guess thats what generally happens if an honest effort is put in... because sometimes people are not even honest with their own selves and not put in a whole hearted effort to save their own selves from the situations that they are in... 

To our Beliefs, Hopes, Strength & Will... Cheers...!!!
