Take that leap of faith.Please!

If you ever had a dream, shed the fear and give it a shot NOW .

No, I do not have a problem with the people who think like flocks.

Those who trace the vicious path of graduating from a reputed college and then opt the safe road of higher studies only to end up with a well-paying job ,all in the name of security. As if the route to success was fixed.

How Insecure are these people about what they want to do and what they want to build!

I have a problem with the infectious impact they create when a few of them do achieve success.

I have a problem with how they stop us, when we want to change the track.

It's like a poisonous plant they keep growing in their head and then shed the pollen right when we are about to take a leap of faith .These seeds are in form of questions like, “what will you do ?", "Will there be enough for you to support the family" and "what if you fail ?"

I wonder how a person can survive in a society where the measure of success is money and work satisfaction is just another word.

Has the pursuit of happiness always been this easy - a degree from an outstanding college to end up with a fat pay cheque? Is THAT the big dream?

No wonder, the soul cannot survive, because every time it wakes up to stir the conscience, people get scared. Too scared to face the truth that their brush strokes are way more beautiful and clearer than their power point presentations. And believe me ,the soul does show signs of death .It's in the anxiety of the work they do every day .It's when they stalk that singer friend who went on and became a you tube sensation .It's on days when they finally question themselves," are we even Happy!"

But most of us never dare to take that leap of faith .We are either too young or too old to do it. Some think there is still time , settling down is the priority and then stepping into the unknown is like a future plan .By the time they settle ,they realize it’s too late to change the track .The newly found responsibilities as an adult seem to carry way more weight ,don't they !

But is this the real meaning of life .This cliché course of education, earning, making a family and then teaching exactly the same lesson to our kids. Asking them to get inspired from the fellow neighbor who earns in a multinational company and keeping them far away from the last benchers who dream of becoming a writer someday.

Makes me think that our education system is so shallow to teach us about almost everything that exists around us but never questions the purpose of life!

Deep down inside people antagonize the conflict as they fool themselves by believing in the 9 to 5 routine and still feeling jealous of all those who went ahead and recognized the fire inside.

A few dreamers, wanderers keep looking and feel lost, even weird, like they do not belong in a world of "successful" stereotypes.

But they are not the real failures because they had the guts to leave the secure life and fight the actual cause of internal restlessness, now that’s courage.

They believed in something and did not let the world get to them. Their light makes the people around, look up to them in awe.

So I ask, to keep the fire igniting and reaping the soul, isn’t that the real success?

Isn't MADNESS truly the GENIUS!
