Everyone has dreams.
Everyone has desires.
Everyone has demands.
However, you don't get what you dream, desire or demand.
You get what you deserve.
Everyone has desires.
Everyone has demands.
However, you don't get what you dream, desire or demand.
You get what you deserve.
That's a sad reality of life.
Sometimes it may appear that someone gets things but are not truly deserving.
The truth, however, is that the one who decides to give is the one who also gets to decide whom to give.
For the giver, the one who gets from him is the one he thinks deserves that.
So how does one handle this kind of situation?
How to know whether you deserve to get what you dream, desire or demand?
Well, there is no secret recipe.
The right way to handle this is focus on what is in your control and to consciously ignore what is not in your control.
What actions you take are in your control.
What happens after you have done what you did is not in your control.
The right to handle this is, then, to focus on only one thing.
That one thing is - actions you should take!
Focus on what you ought to do and do those things.
That's it.
Forget the rest.
Whether you get what you dream, desire or demand or you don't, you stay composed.
Neither win nor loss should elate your or shatter you.
You become like a monk who just does his stuff.
You become someone who doesn't care about the stuff that might come your way.
You become "Arjuna" who is told to focus on taking the right actions for the rightful reasons and not fret about the consequences of those actions.
An earlier post titled Karmanya Vadhikaraste Maa Phaleshu Kadachan dwelt upon this at great length.
In summary, Karmanya Vadhikaraste Maa Phaleshu Kadachan, is the mantra to follow.
