The Traffic Signal : A Lesson for Life

I see the green as a light of hope , I sense the red as a bad phase of life but I wasted lot of time to analyse whether it’s an amber or an orange instead of understanding whether my actions would drift my life to green or to the red. There is no doubt that we all want to live life around hope like the way we expect every traffic signal to remain green through out the journey. The green may be the phase where your smallest efforts would get you unexpected results , everything you will touch turns into gold, your startups become successful , your ideas turn out to be a masterstroke. You reach bigger heights in life and everything becomes so good about life. Will it remain green forever ? that’s not going to happen it will turn red at some point , at some phase of life. The boat which was sailing over waves is going to hit the low water level. There’s a Red awaiting ahead. The hardest time is waving at you , you might have arrived to a zone where sailing won’t be easy ; your best of efforts won’t get you results , everything you touch now might turn into mud , everything you suggested becomes futile. Your 99 not being able to turn into a glorious 100. All you need to do is not get frustrated by looking at the timer, don’t trouble others because you are in a stagnant state by honking again and again, things won’t change this way. Be kind to the under privileged people you meet at the signal , and believe that soon you will see the green light and move ahead. That’s the journey of life for you , me and every individual on this earth with a only difference that some encounter a green early on , some get a red early but everyone at some point in time will face both. Then there comes a short span of another light , People can either consider it as amber or orange, I see it as Life not in Red nor in Green but preparing our-self for the both. I know my happiness is not permanent nor are my sorrows, but my character is surely going to play a vital role to pass through all with my head held high, my dignity unscarred . This is the time where I need to take a break to analyse where things went wrong or where things could go wrong. It’s a time for self introspection , it’s a time to upgrade your vision and weapon. This phase calls for calmness , free mind and a less chaotic thought process. So next time when you see a green don’t get too excited , when you see a red don’t get disheartened since both doesn’t there for long. But be careful with the amber, don’t overspeed to get through the red. Did I say Amber without any confusion on orange! , may be I have the clarity now.
