God, challenge me, grill me, put me in trouble, but ensure that I have a stack of cash and presence of mind and the grace that you could shower on me and I will come through anything. Not that I believe in the slogan “ It’s all about money, honey”, but then god could take shapes, sizes and one of the prime shapes he could take is on paper, with Mahatma Gandhi and a governors sign on it.
This post is not about facing troubles, not about having money, it’s about different combinations that some one above puts you through and makes you feel that comfort is a rare equation that you scarcely reach when alive. It’s like a goal in a football match, where in the mid fielder has to run through, dribble a couple of defenders, pass it on to the striker, he has to choose the right time to hit it, sync it with enough power and placement and ultimately the ball has to shake the net’s behind the loser’s back. Any miss in the whole series of actions, the whole set up tanks, life is as delicate as that.
Days when, pockets were empty and the future dark, problems were approached with a different attitude, the brute force way, let it come and I will take then head on!!!! (As if there was a choice). The worry was more about what would come first and prayers to god more on scheduling the problems based on the assumed intensity. Prayers as simple as let the personnel from the electricity board not visit my place, let him forget about the unpaid bills. Prayers that would make people burst into laughter, prayers to god about your dad coming home without the smell of rum etc. But then problems were never solved, it was either postponed to become a bigger one or to die away as the intensity dips. This is a set-up where god tests you with traits like skin thickness, shamelessness, where in he makes you look like a one year old in a topless bar. People, usually pull through this phase with lot of negativity and end up being habitual to this mode. I would call it “hold on tight mode”.
You would think that it’s over but then the problems you had while living in a home that leaks during winter, where in you would walk miles to make a single phone call are much more less complex ones, cause these are the states you go through shit when you are in it already (Neck Deep !!!). God would set-up another phase for you, if you are worth it and if you held really tight, and this phase is tougher. Money the Mr.Fix it flows through your hands, you expect it to solve problems, seldom it does. You now have problems to manage it right, to think about fixing problems is much more complex than waiting for it to happen, God promotes you and every promotion is a pain (You are now into stuff that you have not done and your previous expertise is no longer serving you.).
Money will create problems, if you do not understand the flow of it, whether the right people are handling it, whether your demand matches supply etc. Your prayers change, interaction with god changes, It would be about fixing problems, rather that prioritizing it’s arrival. This is a thinking phase and the all mighty might play a joke by taking away presence of mind and decision making skills. Realization of mistakes against the time it was committed, will play a major role in this phase. If you mess up, you would again be Rocky Balboa waiting for problems to come hard and hit you. Seeing through this phase would take a good 8-10 years and ultimately you have arrived.
God sits there still, looking at his loving son, whispers “Son from waiting problems to happen now you are trying to solve problems, far are not those days where in you would work towards getting problems fixed before they even happen”. You are always on the run, you taking a break from the race wouldn’t mean that world has complied, problems are always there what matters is how you deal with it. Run, hard and learn to enjoy it, as if we have a choice Bloody Rat Racers!!!!!.
