Hurdle Race

Many a time situations in life seem to come across like running a hurdle race
Many a time circumstances need to be faced not necessarily at one’s preferred pace
Many a time one needs to mentally condition self to prevent one from getting dazed
Many a time one’s reaction in handling circumstances may leave one highly perplexed

Many a time the frustration that one encounters puts one into a self created bind
More often than not one may realize that the battles are actually fought in the mind
Many a time one may take resolutions to handle people sensitively and be more kind
More often than not it gets broken when one is not able to handle the rigorous grind

Many a time one may decide to let go the past and create a new future full of aspiration
More often than not emotions haunt the present leaving one panting with perspiration
Many a time one may change locations to consciously avoid contact with some faction
More often than not a collision with who you wish to avoid create scenario hard to fathom

Many a time the ways and means of the Universe and its occupants may leave one confused
More often than not one finds it difficult to accept the status quo that leaves one baffled
Many a time the focus on self priorities keeps one lost in thought and highly preoccupied
More often than not the implications of one’s current actions get lost during the lone ride

Many a time people realize at the end that one could have lived one’s life in a different way
More often than not it is too late for one to rectify the unique path chosen to enact the play
Many a time there is a feeling of regret that leaves one morose while trying to find one’s way
More often than not one feels sad at wisdom dawning late and the costs that one had to pay!

"Many a time the ways and means of the Universe and its occupants may leave one confused"....

On the flip side it reminds me of what I read in "The Alchemist".

"When a person really desires something all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream".

I have found the ways and means of the Universe operate in both directions. Leaving us confused at times and dazzling at times in helping us attain what we aspire. It's the Universe's way of teaching "Equanimity" I guess.
