Hazaron Kwahishen Aisi

The last couple of days these lines have arrested me, in
many ways this is what i'm thinking .But Ghalib has said
it like i can never dream to. Thousands of dreams .. thousands
of aspirations, and no satisfaction. God gave this urge to
excel in everything , but along comes the fear of failure.
There is a Fear for taking the plunge .. but am i sinking
anyway !!
How do i find my destiny .. what is my path ? Why do i
find myself lost and confused. Did i never listen to my
heart or did my heart never have the guts to speak up?
Why was my heart sleeping when my mind had these million
aspirations !
It's ironic , latent is an anagram for talent. There is a
hidden meaning here, all our talents are hidden , they are
latent . But we have to find them. But what is the sure way
of doing that . We are told that the path ridden with
difficulties is best & trusted path. Physics tells us all
matter takes the lowest energy path , to attain equilibrium.
So why this contradiction?

Was i wronged by my society, my peers that i have pursued
none of my dreams or is it because i have never tried. I
guess my heart has to finally speak up .. loud and clear.
