"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)
This one qoute have been haunting me since some time. At first, it inspired me to aspire, want something so badly. And I did...but then I found out instead of the whole universe conspiring to help me achieve it, it was conspiring against me...may it be the one call I wanted to make so badly and the network goes down...may it be the one thing I wanted to do or say and I was put in a situation where I was made to think silence would be better...And the most interesting part is, I knew something was conspiring against me...may be because I liked this qoute and was actually starting to believe in its wholeness...
How many times I was turned down, I have lost the count...but it was happeing day in and day out. Slowly, reluctantly, sadly, I was beginning to accept what was coming to me...And, I was getting away from this amazing qoute...because, the whole of the Universe seemed conspiring against me !
I always believed everything happens for a reason...Weird it may sound, many a time did a movie I watched relate to what I was going through at that time..and, I would have seen that movie by chance..not by choice..
Today, I watched one such movie - THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. I am still not sure what made me watch this movie. All I can remember is the utter anger I was in because of many such 'conspiracies' against me. Then I started with this movie. Ohh my God, was it meant for me??? I just couldn't believe, but I had to. As the story unfolded, I was in for another shock of my life. Slowly I started to feel there was indeed something conspiring 'for' me. Slowly I was realizing why I was being turned down from what I wanted. And the fact none of them actually was successful in backing me off. Now it all seemed a test to test my urge to achieve what I wanted.
I know nothing that I wrote above makes sense to a reader. But, this I am writing not for you, but for me...
Inserting few dialoges from the movie's ending:
{
David: You're the Chairman?
Harry: No.
You've met him though, or her.
Everybody has.
The Chairman comes in a different form to everyone
so people rarely realize when it happens.
David: Is this some sort of test?
Harry: In a way, it's all a test,
for everybody, even the members of the Adjustment Bureau.
David, you risked everything for Elise.
And Elise, when you came through that door at the Statue of Liberty, you risked everything, too.
But you inspired me.
It seems like you inspired the Chairman, too.
David: Is that about us?
Harry: Yes.
David: What does it say?
Harry: It says that this situation between the two of you
is a serious deviation from the plan.
So, the Chairman rewrote it.
David: Okay.
David: Now what?
Harry: Now...
You can take the stairs.
Most people live life on the path we set for them.
Too afraid to explore any other.
But once in a while, people like you come along
who knock down all the obstacles we put
in your way.
People who realize free will is a gift
you'll never know how to use
until you fight for it.
I think that's the Chairman's real plan
that maybe one day
we won't write the plan.
You will.
