Eye of the Tiger

Its not original but truly inspirational. Time and again I listen to this song and it inspires me every single time. Here is a song which might be long forgotten from the movie Rocky.

                                                 "Eye Of The Tiger"

Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive 

So many times it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

Rising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not going to stop
Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Lost or Stuck?

How can I be lost?If I've got nowhere to go – Unforgiven 3 by Metallica

How many times you hear people say I just don’t know I am lost!! Are they really lost or they just don’t know what they want? Every human goes through this phase in his or her life. I think I am in that boat too and hence every time I listen to the song I can relate very well to the line. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be lost. It’s the time to question yourself and begin the search within you of what is it that you want ! Where do you want to go ! As long as you are asking the right questions to yourself, answers will come through. Time is the key and yes ofcourse give time, time! These phases in life can make or break you.

You are the one who has nowhere to go if you wake up every morning and feel lost about different things. One day its your profession, another day its your professional domain, some other day its your passion, could be your job, could be something outside of your job, I just don’t know if it is my friends, family or just the place. Sounds dramatic and actually one would officially tag that he or she is LOST! Is it bad? NO! Give it a positive spin. The very fact that you are in hunt of something that you don’t know of make it a very adventurous journey. The hunt of “something”. You have to strive to figure out what is it that you want. If you don’t strive for something you will not reach there. You will be happy in your mundane daily life with no ambition. It’s a good sign that you want something more out of life and there is either room for improvement or there is room for progress. In either case it will make you or take you to be a better person. Remember give time time! Its not a quick fix type of a solution. Could take months or years. The fortunate or unfortunate part of this hunt is that you are alone and there is no help. No mother, father, friend or boss can help you with this hunt. Its your journey.

Its funny to make this statement by its great if you are feeling lost. There are bigger better things coming your way. Keep up the hunt, enjoy the journey, try out different directions to test the waters of discomfort. Finally once you get your direction execute it and then if you feel lost its not a big deal. You friends, family or boss will be able to help you since you know the direction.

If you find this article abstract and too high level to understand then more than likely you have not yet reached the truly LOST phase. Its good and bad J
