It's a feeling you can't hide or deny. You want to run away from everything that you've created and start afresh. You feel the need to just rush into a room and lock yourself where no one can find you.Negativity is all that goes around and comes back around to you. It's all an unbelievable mess! Well what can you expect one to do in such situations in the present generation? Life is a competition and we are all racing towards achieving endless goals. "I want to be better than him/ her" , "I want to get the newly launched cell phone", "I want a bigger home to live in" , I want this and I want that...! This is all we do! We just want everything for the sake of others not because you deserve it or not because you love to earn it.
If Mr.X says that the outfit I am wearing looks terrible on me then I would chose to believe him rather than the choice I made to wear that particular outfit. We choose to believe people who enter our lives after ourselves, who we believe know us better than ourselves. Why can't we just stop for a minute and think! Why can't we live life as it comes to us and not try and jumble things to make it as we want it to be. Why can't we just be clear of what we want to do and what we have to do? Why is there a word like "maybe" in our dictionary? Think over it, if life would just exist on Yes and No with a perfect blend of self-confidence, things would definitely be less complicated.
If you want something, ask for it. If you wish to say something, jut say it. You don't like it, just be blunt and speak the truth. If you stand against the odd with this attitude nothing is definitely going to pull you back down! The way you live life simply depends on the way you want to. Your life completely and totally depends on what you make of it.
Standing against the odds is a challenge not everyone passes. Many fall and many just surpass it by facing it like just another problem. A movie I watched has quite taught me how to control what I have to hear and what is completely needed to be filtered and heard. The movie's name is "Shawshank redemption"- a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Thank you Jolene Saldanha for introducing me to this movie. I strongly recommend each one of you to watch this movie. It just changes the mindset of a person to a great extent. I agree implementing is difficult but I'm sure you will make efforts to work on them after having watched this movie.
Standing against the odds? Well,Frank Darabont couldn't have explained what I want to say in any other way humanly possible. Here is a short trailer so you catch a glimpse of the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmzuHjWmXOc
Believe me or not the inspiration Andy could give any man is a controversial topic but there is no doubt that it could change you for a bit.

Hoping that this article would have changed a little bit from withing you, if not a lot! :D
