Embracing the Discomforts.
Blog post by Nazia Tabasum A
It’s quite common to face struggles while chasing our dreams. Especially when there are criticisms.
Those who criticize, either don’t take steps to achieve in their life, or they don’t appreciate the ones who do that diligently. But amidst this negativity, the pursuit to achieve, marks successful progress for the achievers.
I would like to illustrate this topic through a metaphor of two fishes, one which swims inside a glass tank and the other one in the sea.
Fish inside the tank face minimal hurdles, but they live in serenity. They swim comfortably inside the glass walls along with marbles and pebbles beneath. They get food on time, their tank is frequently cleaned and the water is always clear to swim in.
On the other hand, the fish in the ocean, face a lot of trials. They are not secured with glass walls, and they have to go through dangerous storms, turbulent waves, hunter threats and sometimes even without food to survive.
The above two examples depict the critics and the achievers.
Fish in a tank represents few who never know the sweetness of challenges that need to be faced, while achieving dreams. They are comfortable in their spaces and hesitant to take any risks in their life.
But those who are trying, symbolise a fish in the sea. No matter whatever obstacles they endure, they focus and enjoy the quest which helps to chase their dreams.
And for them, that pursuit is always adventurous and more valuable than the hurdles.
If you are struggling to make progress in your dreams, don’t worry about the barriers. Instead, savor the journey of the quest, which will help you to attain your dreams.
