Aspirations

Have we ever pondered that in the battle of “motah” in 8th hijri 3000 Muslims were against 200,000 men what passion was striving in those 3000 men that made them to stand against such a great majority??? Those 3000 men had their aspirations so beautiful that it made DEATH secondary and unimportant. May Allah provide us with the blessing of such an aim.
Beautiful aspirations make humans courageous beyond limits and passionate beyond bounds. It is a very interesting fact that we as humans have thirst for beauty and our self runs for it whenever it feels it. So, it is said that if one’s aspirations are beautiful they make the hurdles and difficulties of the path leading him to his aim comfortable and easy. It is our aim or objective that decides the magnitude of our efforts involved in getting from point A to point B.
It is this objective that compels us to change and evolve in a manner that best suits us and prepares us to achieve that particular goal. If we are not determined and if we don’t have beautiful aspirations our life will be void from happiness, sense of achievement and liveliness we will be doing a single job or task everyday just for bread and just living and nothing else. It will then be called, living for the sake of living. At that point there will be no difference in our life and a life of an animal.
But we have options to choose our own destiny as it is depicted in the book Alchemist that nature always provides us with signs of what we have to do and achieve in our life and these are those people who follow their dreams in the form of their aspirations that make them great and valuable in this world and in the hereafter.
Choice is always ours we can choose to live forever or we can choose to die like everyone else does. Majority always follow the norm but we have the choice of making the difference.
