Well, I know the title is a bit intimidating as we have always read about the "Key" being wrong or right and not the "Lock" itself. But what if we always had the Right Key, but are trying to open the Wrong Lock !
This thought came up in my mind one day due to incident that happened while I was in Gym. Well,I just reached the gym ,lost in some random thoughts , the traffic and other unnecessary stuff signed the register picked up a key for the gym locker. Entered the changing room and tried to open a Locker I thought was mine. I was sure that it was my locker and struggled hard to open it and when it didn't , I kind of felt frustrated and was about to rush out to complain that the "Key" does not work !( Isn't this what we always do ? Complain ! Sometimes to God,Sometimes to people,Sometimes to ourselves !... ) And then I realized I was opening the wrong locker. I tried to recall and understand why would I even remotely try to waste my energy and open a wrong locker and then it occurred to me fairly clear. As I was picking up my key , another guy was dropping off his key which had a certain different locker number printed on it and lost in my random useless thoughts ( the traffic frustrations, the unknown energy sucking ones...) I imprinted his locker number in my memory ,completely ignoring the Locker number imprinted on My "Key" !
And a thought occurred to me right then... Isn't it weirdly similar to what we do in our daily lives ? Lost in our frustrations, meaningless energy sucking thoughts We completely ignore our own Key ( Our own Strengths ) and look at other people's Keys ( Strengths ) and then try to open locks (Ambitions ! ) that we were not even ours in the first place and neither were we even meant to complete them.When all we ever needed to do was focus on our own Key !
Would not that change the whole equation, or the way we see things. I know the situation still remains the same, till the point the "key" gets to its correct "lock". But Isn't it more encouraging or motivating to know that we always had the key in our hands, but what we are trying to open is the wrong lock . As metaphorical as it may sound,but It actually means that we have the right Key i.e. right skills,the right things, and the right talent but the only problem is that we are always trying to use it unlock the wrong gate or someone else's locker( alias Ambition ! ). And I know you might have already started to victimize yourself with why all this had been happening to you or why you have to try and work to unlock that wrong locker and why even after knowing you still have to be in that wrong place, Well, all I have to say is Stay Victimized,Stay Complaining or feel blessed and stay hopeful that eventually all of us are going to find our Locks the one that will open only with one key that is our own ! In case you still have not got it, Locks here are a metaphor for something that you want, for someone it can be a job, a new house, a Loving partner or a any thing that you want But at present you might be feeling that you are just at the wrong place to get all this ! But as I said in one of my previous posts that sometimes being in the wrong place at the wrong time can actually give you something so right, something that you always wanted and desired for, but just dint believe ! Similarly, just hold on to your key (Your Strengths...), and "believe" ,because sooner you are going to find the right Lock ! Just be focused and look closely at your key, because Gym Keys are good , they have a Locker Number on them ;) , but surely there are signs on your key as well, you just don't know how to read them... And as matter of fact to decipher a code so closely linked to something that your brain does not understand, as I always say, stop using your Logical thinking unit (Your Brains ! ) and let your EMU (Emotions Processing Unit - Your Heart ! ) Work, because it can do wonders beyond your Imagination and even if sometimes it gets you hurt(Sometimes really bad ! ) ,you still Grow Stronger and get closer to your Destiny... All The Best ! :)
