Tired of sitting on the fence and want to start living the life you love?
Sitting on the fence is a condition in which the person is
neither this side not the other side. It has another implication of wishing to
venture but hesitating to jump. I do not want to go to the extreme that the
person on the fence is impotent to venture. We are not talking about people in
that etherized condition.
Let us discuss here people who have the potency to act but
lack the motivation to venture.
They sit on the fence weighing the merits and demerits both
sides. They have a lot to consider before the plunge.
They are men of thoughts not men of action. They are
analyzing all the “ten reasons not to do.” They have many reasons not to go
forward.
But they hesitate to withdraw. Success on the other side is
inviting. They cannot take their eyes away from the successful people on the
other side.
What they really lack? It is “guts.” They lack the guts for
adventure.
None can assure of success at every dip. But without
venturing none become a success or failure.
As long as they sit on the fence, they remain sick of the
left and right. They have decided to leave the left but have not moved to the
right. Fence is not a comfortable place. It is pain. The past draws you back,
which you resist with all your might. The future beckons you, but you hesitate
to move.
As long as you sit on the fence, you are wasting time and
opportunity. Opportunity waits for none. It is like a pageant on the stage. It
comes, smiles at you, winks and leaves the stage. Catch it at the right moment
and possess it. It is the only way to success.
The one who sits on the fence is only a spectator. He is not
playing a part in the game. Only those who run and sweat will win. He sees his
track empty of a runner. He is the runner, but sits and weighs on the bench.
Success is not like an ice cream seller who comes to your
seat and sells. It is like a dish in a self serving cafe. You can sit watching
others enjoying food and coffee or serve yourself with the choicest dishes.
Opportunity is equal for all. Some use it while others watch
the winners.
The only way to move to the other side of the fence is to
‘move’. Stop meditating. Stop philosophizing.
Procrastination is a crab that eats from inside of the
fruit. It is a poison of inaction. Procrastination is fed by fear. It is fear
of failure.
Groundless fear is caused by ignorance. Fear has its roots
in ignorance about the truth. The truth is that failure is not an end. It is
failure that brought us up to this part of life. Each failure has an innate
motivation for another try. From childhood to coffin, we try to rise up from
each fall.
So do not be afraid of failure. We shall rise again.
Why watch from the fence. Jump down to the fire. Let it
consume or ignite you. You will never be ignited without an encounter with the
fire.
Sitting on the fence is no gain for you. You are wasting
away.
Why not die success?
Jump and you will realize the final truth that nothing can
defeat a man like you.
Wish you all success.
