As everyone celebrates and basks in the glory of the International Women's Day today, I will try and delve into an significant aspect of our life that keeps hovering into our very own sub-conscience all the time. I have experienced, I do experience these all the time and my only effort is to keep facing them and letting them know that I will always be prepared to fight whenever need be.
Every morning , as soon as you wake up , your mind runs you through a multiple array of tasks you ought to accomplish . Most of the times ,it also throws across those Dragons that I call The Known and the Possibilty of the Unknown Fears .Ofcourse their gravity and the frequency depends on the nature of the challenges that each one faces in their life. And while each one of us is absolutely aware of those fears within us , we choose to bury them deep inside or push them aside into one corner of our mind so as to avoid them. I did that and do that like each one of you all the time. And as and when the degree of challenges increased , the frequency of fears increased and with them increased ways and means to avoid them . There were various superstitions or relative facts that I thought would keep those fears at bay. However these antics only brought more fears and more superstitious beliefs back into my life. It looked as if they were multiplying instead of getting subtracted . The most dangerous Dragon being The Fear of the Unknown. The thought that there is a possibilty of some challenge that will crop up somewhere in the near future that I will not be able to tackle was My Fear of the Unknown (in simple words). It was loaded with prejudices and engulfed with layers of emotions and negativity.
Gradually I realised that these dragons brought out the worst in me and I wasn't very pleased with that ME. Thus one day , and trust me it just dawns and strikes one day, I decided to face the Dragons. It is no rocket science and all you need to do is Stop being in Denial, Understand those Fears, Converse with them, Ride with them and finally Accept them . Once you follow these, they gradually begin to diminish from within. It is not a one time process and you need to revisit and do this again and again. Once you get your hands on it, there's no contentment as fulfilling as this.
International Women's Day today will serve a good cause for You to start unleashing those Dragons and bid them farewell. Because As Napolean Bonapart puts it " The only conquests that are permanent and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves."
