That feeling of being back to Square One !

Oh No! What is happening? Why things are not in control? Why did my efforts go in vain? 

Why didn’t those guys saw the efforts I made?

Yes, such questions and doubts do surface in our minds, if we have some major setbacks.

As an example, I recall a Christmas time some years back. I had planned to take my family to a great place, have great food and enjoy, and travel also as well as may be watch a movie.

Yet that December I had so severe cash crunch, and my cards balances were also so much down that I could do nothing on or around Christmas.

I still feel a bit of vacuum when I think over that.

Sometimes, we can’t achieve much in some of our plans or we fail to a big extent.

That feeling is very very terrible.

Yes, one could say that we ought to be positive, but when we feel that we have come back to the starting point of a journey(not in a literary sense)i.e Back to Square One, positive thoughts do not come to the mind at all.

Our first thoughts are brooding thoughts about why things went bad, and it is difficult to control our mind.

At such moments, sometimes, talking to a friend, or someone close one helps, though if a hurt is in some way related to a close one or friend, it becomes difficult.

May be writing and especially writing on social sites works well. They in a way provide a place where we can vent out our feelings.

In a way, there is some anonymity, though it is not absolute one.

Yet we also need to acknowledge that life will not always be in a steady flow. Ups and downs are inherent. Yet if downs far exceed upsides, why not change the course in life we are following?

It is not easy, but may be that will help? What do you say?

    • I like the last part of your post where you say that when you have tried something in acertain direction and you see no improvement maybe you really need to change course and see what is on Thu other side. That's very true. Many ar3 the times I have tried to do something's and most of the time I have gone ahead and hit a milestone. But one day things just want haywire and I had to go back to the starting point which was the hardest thing to ever do. It is never easy to go back and start all over again very few people would take that turn. Many will either decide to quit the whole thing, or they will drop one thing and work on the rest. Usually it takes more energy time and focus so that you don't repeat the same mistake that you made the first time. You approach everything in a different way.

    • I agree with you. This is one of the techniques. Changing the course of action involves the brain activity. Once you have made up your mind that success is not coming in the way adopted then you will be prompted to take a difference course. This shows your mental alertness to change the course.

      To keep yourself mental alertness you need to do Yoga. This is the only method that can make you fit and mentally alert. It keeps you away from disappointment and develops will power.

    • @shivamani encouraging thoughts. Were you as Siva on Wikinut?
      @sauda Yes starting all over again is very hard, but at times we have to take the bitter medicine and do it again.

    • I had experienced this a couple of times. It is really difficult to experience. I can still remember having this situation of going back to square one. However, I need to boost my confidence and a strong will to change its course. Because I can't let my family members becoming negative. I need to show that life is not always at the bottom. There is always so called little faith within me.

    • I have seen and observed that going back to square one is for those who are green not mature, keep in mind just one thing that error and mistakes push men to back and wisdom full acts lead men forward ub all sphere of life.

      In crease your knowledge and follow your birth tends you will go ahead not backward in all field of life. Knowledge is the main key to go ahead in practical field because knowledge clears the way hindrance and ignorance stops progress but people blame it others or o put on fate. A scary thinking.

      the cleansing of the mind of all defilement that mar its purity; the removing of all obstacles that bar its progress from the mundane to the supra mundane consciousness, keep your ind from all doubts lead men to progress without any stop under the Go's protection and leadership.

    • Our decisions we make have to be wise and at the same time we need to make sure that we have plans so that we can balance everything out in our lives and relationships. But I thank God that am here and that I get to see every morning that I wake up. That's the person that keeps me together. Long as I have him in my life my setbacks will become victorys.

      • I do think that God should always be the center of our life. Spiritually, it can give us inner strength. The actions will always be with us. God works in a mysterious way. We might recognize this along with the journey of our life.

        In the long run, we need to plan to achieve success. Some nibblers can pull us down and tried to destroy us. However, they are just a challenge for us to be strong. We just need to face them with full confidence.
