Believe It Or Not

Seeing is indeed believing. And that implies, we tend to disbelieve what we can’t see with naked eye. But there are things, beyond our perception, off the realms of reality. None of us have, or to be safe, most of us haven’t seen God who is yet believed to be omnipresent. I am not being theistic, nor am I an atheist; you may call me agnostic, if you can. I believe that there’s a need of believing in God. It doesn’t harm us. Instead it helps us refrain from doing sins. It helps us bear our moments of pain with hopes for a better future. It boosts our confidence.


Just imagine a world where people are earnestly atheistic. And there would be crimes galore for sure. Like most corrupted ministers, we won’t rein in our sinister desires, and this mundane world would be under the reign of unimaginable anarchy. On the contrary, suppose there is a place somewhere on this earth, or heaven, where people do believe in things unseen. They believe in a surreal superpower, or an absolute mystery, or a supernatural being that controls the fate of each and every individual or creature living. And it would inspire you to do things undone, punish for things wrongly done, and award for things done with excellence. Now tell me, do you feel like believing?


Believing is good as at the very beginning it’s believing that makes thing happen. With one leg amputated, many supposed her to have got the premature end of her dancing career. But Sudha Chandran believed she can, and went on to grace the stage again, even with a wooden Jaipur foot. On the other side of the globe, a penniless pauper at the pavements of Sao Paulo used to dream. While busy shining others’ boots, he believed in his own dream. And one day he made it true, and became the world famous football wizard Pele. His own boot could kick the shining golden ball (the award for the best footballer of the year 1970 by FIFA). All the great fellows in this world, who have somehow made a mark, must have believed it all the time. Believing is such an essential energy that drives you through all the most difficult missions in life.


In this crucial juncture when cut-throat-competition and rat race are inextricably linked up with life, it demands you to take control of things; it urges you to be clear and confident when you speak and it leaves you with no choice but being heard, understood and followed by others willingly. And that’s the reason why communication and leadership are the lingos selling like hot cakes. You have to make yourself acquainted with the need of the hour. There are people who still think they can’t. The rest are those humble, amicable, diligent and helpful people who love to call them Toastmasters.
