The Best

It doesn’t matter
if you are not the best,
at least you are not
stepping back into safety,
you are running
and taking a plunge
using whatever you have
to grab something better
and more deserving for you…

Persistent and consistent efforts
may bring you in the race with others,
who want to be the best,
but only one of them
really becomes the best,
but challenges don’t end there
only two options are at the top,
either to stop and stagnate there
or to come down,
there is no option to go up,
while coming down is not desirable,
stagnation is not life
even if it’s the top position,
and who are the competitors there..
only one that looks in the mirror…

Nothing is put on this earth
to remain stagnant
iron in disuse also rusts,
a change for the worse,
so the antidote to stagnation
is action and innovation
a pool remains stagnant,
but its beauty and purity
lie in its running stream
running through rocks and boulders...

Challenges will always be there
at every position,
it depends
how we respond to changes
that always bring discomforts,
but resistance is not an option…
