Inspiration from an unexpected source


“Above all, don’t fear difficult moments. The best comes from them.”


That, according to Rita Levi Montalcini – a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who will turn 100 years old on Wednesday, April 22.


I was browsing through Yahoo news when I read about this and was I glad that I stumbled upon it.


Admittedly, I’m right at the heart of a crisis of discontentment – to say the least.


I am uninspired and uncompelled. Demoralized – is the understatement of the year. My morale is trampled upon countless times by a thousand Caterpillar utility shoes.


I wish things are better. I wish things can change for the better. It’s just difficult to see change when there are other people you depend on for change to ensue.


Discontentment --- in its gravest magnitude – can actually be good. It all depends on how you look at things.


I am almost, almost at the tipping point. There is a build-up of critical mass in how averse I feel.


Catharsis – is almost near.


I’m waiting for it.


But don’t wait for it.


Fair warning has been given.
